Water balloon launcher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A military personnel stretches a giant slingshot with a water balloon in it

A Water balloon launcher,[1] which is also known as water balloon slingshot,[2] is a ballistic toy device, for shooting water balloons at significantly longer range than by hand-throwing,[3] and that is used in well-prepared water balloon fights. Both home-made and toy manufacturers models exist, with some models being stationary and some 3-person operated, also mobile handheld wrist launchers exist on the market.[1] Even though water balloon launchers are mainly marketed towards children, adults also engage in water balloon activities.[4] Some supreme water balloon launchers are capable of throwing 300 yards or more.[5] It is unsafe to use a water balloon launcher to throw snowballs.[6]

Dangers

For young children water balloon launchers pose a potential risk of choking hazard and eye injuries.[7] A case has been reported where young man suffered orbital blowout fracture, and thus became legally blind from his left eye.[2] In another case, a 31-year-old female suffered from traumatic retinal dialysis in her right eye, resulting in permanent visual loss.[8]
