Spider-web wall jumping has been around a few years and is a popular novelty event. Participants don a hook and loop fastener suit, jump from an inflatable springboard onto an inflatable wall, nearly 17 feet high and 15 feet wide, also covered with hook and loop fasteners. The most well-known brand of hook and loop fasteners is Velcro. The community center first sponsored spider-web wall jumping at a family fun night in January. Kids and adults were waiting in line all through the evening for their turn at a jump, Lowery says.
