You cannot stand on the AirBreak platform while using it. Instead, you stand on the podium at the side of the AirBreak platform. The air pockets used to raise and lower the AirBreak platform have a load bearing capacity of 180kg / 395lbs and so they typically they should not break if you or someone else accidentally stands on the platform. However, it is important to note the AirBreak platform is not designed to be stood on and children should be supervised when using AirBreak to ensure they do not stand on it.
