DURABALL SAFETY

 Over recent years there have been reports of anti
 burst and burst resistant Swiss balls exploding
 during use and injuring users.  Not all balls are the
 same quality despite what their labels may indicate
 and the use of balls may put the user at risk of
 serious injury.  Here are some important
 considerations:

 Age of Swiss Ball
 Abuse and Damage

AGE OF SWISS BALL

 Swiss balls should be treated like car tyres. The more
 and harder they are used the sooner they will lose their
 burst resistance.  We suggest that gyms and studios
 should rotate their Swiss balls every 3 months if there
 is high use or the possibility of abuse.  Domestic users
 have reported 10 years of use when the Swiss ball is
 well cared for.

 Aging Swiss balls may develop surface fractures similar to the one clearly visible in this image.
