Why would you wear “PoweriZers” to the mall?
I was shopping at Target Saturday, when this man pass me on these bouncy-stilt thingys. I smiled politely and then pulled out my camera and snapped this picture. I should have asked him what, why and how, but I just let him bounce out of my life as quickly as he bounced in it.
Poweriser running and jumping stilts will enable you to jump to heights of 5-7 feet and run at speeds of 17-21 mph!
I was about to write it off as absurd and unnecessary (at least inside a Target, right?) but then I remembered my love for the Pogoball in the 80s. But then again, I was also like 7-years-old.
Seriously, why would anyone need to wear these PoweriZers, especially to Target or the mall? Is there something I’m not getting?

So they can jump up and reach things on the top shelf without having to wait for a sales associate to help? Or maybe they ran over to the mall on the stilts instead of taking the car, in an effort to save gas? Other than that, I’m stumped.

I was always a big fan of stilts (at my grandparents house) and later pogo sticks. Something tells me I’d really like these things. Now if I could just play basketball with them on, I’d be dunking all over people.

I’m surprised the stores allow people to wear these things inside. Sounds like a safety hazard to me.

I think stores will probably start forbidding them if it becomes a problem. Just like those rollerskate shoes that were big a few years ago. But these do look like fun!
