Like, it was a big multi-colored circle of cloth (or nylon probably) with hand-loops all around it? And the gym teacher would come up with nonsense things to do with it to keep kids busy for an hour? I guess I wanted to ask if there's a pro league somewhere for that.

Yes. However I think this activity has been banned after several cases of special needs children being suffocated or assaulted beneath rapidly descending rainbow 'chutes

I would have hoped the giant parachute lobby would have stepped in and come up with new programs to teach kids about safe 'chuting.

Yeah we had those. We used to coordinate pulling on the parachute really hard and making kids on the other side fall over.

We used to do a thing where everyone would be in a circle around it and then all at once we'd sort of throw it upward and everyone had to run under it to the other side before it came down on you. Oh and while this wasn't a rule of the "game" it was a strictly followed indigenous custom that you had to scream at the top of your lungs while you ran. This was kindergarten/1st grade and it was one of the most fun things to do at PE. My district basically banned it about 10 years ago because kids would run into each other in the wild dash and fall down and then "someone might get hurt." Hey fuckers this is human life, someone WILL get hurt, start getting used to it.

Yes we had one of those. Our PE teacher was amazing in that he tried to be safe about things but would usually fight to keep poo poo when people got hurt. In this case a kid got a fingernail ripped out when she was holding the parachute by rolling up the edge and and kind of curling her fingers into it. After that happened we got a talking to about how to hold it. I think the school took it away eventually though. The best was when you could get airtime when everyone would whip the chute upwards and then jump as it was at its apex.

i loved the giant parachute. you can sorta replicate the same thing with your boyfriend/girlfriend by making them wave the covers over you when you're underneath.

I always wished I could be in the middle (assuming there wasn't a hole), and thrown up in the air. Alas it was not to be

What do you mean "did I have to"? The parachute was loving awesome. Every gym day, we hoped that we'd use it. This is a loving first world country you idiot.

Also had a dude who wore those Bret Hart sunglasses. Not a whole lot I remember from the early 90s, the parachute and the douchey idiot with imitation Bret hart glasses stand out for some reason.

We had the parachute at the school I went to, too. The teacher would lob a ball into the middle and we'd all grab the parachute and try to make the ball fly off someone's side.

We had that in like fifth grade. My favorite thing was when everyone grabbed it and kind of popped it up, then ran forward and under it a bit and quickly pulled it down behind you and sat down. It would form this big slowly deflating dome full of kids. And I would sit and watch it collapse in slow motion as I quietly wondered if it'd be possible to kill all the other children before it fell, so that I could enjoy the isolation of the fleeting satin bubble in peace and tranquility. Turned out it actually wasn't possible.

We probably used it like once a year. The rest of the time we spent waiting for our Vietnam-vet gym teacher to take his annual hunting trip so we could get a substitute who didn't yell at us to let us know we were trash.

We used to have a couple of those parachutes. We made up a game where you'd tighten up the parachute quickly and fling a big red rubber dodgeball across the gym and the other team would have to scramble to maneuver the chute in place to catch it and then fling it back. Kids would get trampled and poo poo, but since this was in the 90s and pre-9/11 the rec teachers would just get them ice, sit them on a chair and then ask "Ok are you ready to play again yet?" because ain't nobody gonna help raise pussy kids. Oh one time our rec guy said "Let's try it with a basketball" which worked well enough to launch it into a very expensive, very powerful light (those big round ones that are like 30 feet off the ground) that exploded and shut down the basketball court for a few hours. It was rad. Tumble fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 20, 2016 |
