The LIMBO game is a portable, interactive entertainment device designed for both indoor and outdoor use, featuring a framework that supports a canvas and a bamboo rod for players to limbo under. The game's primary function is to provide a fun and engaging activity, often seen at events, parties, or recreational gatherings.

Technical Specifications and Components:

The LIMBO game's structure is built from various lengths of tubing and fittings, providing a sturdy yet portable frame. Key components include:

• Painted Vinyl Canvas: A single unit that forms the visual backdrop of the game.
• Fittings:
  • "FOUR-WAY" FITTINGS: 2 units
  • "ELBOW" FITTINGS: 2 units
  • "TEE" FITTINGS: 2 units
• Tubing:
  • 44.5" LENGTHS OF TUBING (SWEDGED): 4 units
  • 41" LENGTHS OF TUBING (UNSWEDGED): 4 units
  • LENGTHS OF TUBING (w/rubber tips): 4 units
  • 17” LENGTHS OF TUBING (UNSWEDGED): 2 units
• Accessories:
  • STAKES: 4 units (for outdoor stability)
  • LIMBO CD: 1 unit (likely for music or instructions)
  • BAMBOO RODS (HALVES): 2 units (these combine to form the limbo bar)
  • 2" SPRING CLIPS: 2 units (used to support the bamboo rod)
  • STORAGE/CARRYING CASE: 1 unit (for portability and protection)

Usage Features:

The LIMBO game is designed for ease of assembly and use, with several features enhancing its functionality and player experience:

• Simple Assembly: The framework is assembled by connecting various tubing lengths with specific fittings (four-way, elbow, tee). Small bolts on the fittings are tightened to secure the structure. The canvas is then attached to the framework using Velcro straps.
• Adjustable Limbo Bar: The bamboo rod, which serves as the limbo bar, is supported by 2" spring clips placed on the tubing behind the canvas. These clips allow for easy adjustment of the rod's height as the game progresses, accommodating different skill levels and increasing difficulty.
• Outdoor Stability: For outdoor use, the game includes four stakes that can be driven into the ground on either side of the bottom supports, providing enhanced stability. In situations where stakes cannot be used (e.g., pavement) or in breezy conditions, sandbags are recommended for additional weight and stability.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Clearance: Players and spectators must maintain adequate clearance around the game to prevent injuries from deflected or errant throws (if the game involves throwing, though the manual specifies soft baseballs).
  • Spectator Safety: Spectators should be kept clear from the sides and back of the canvas to avoid being struck.
  • Wind and Lightning: The game should never be used in strong winds or during lightning storms due to potential instability and safety hazards.
  • Setup/Teardown Caution: Care must be taken when setting up or taking down the game. Loosened bolts can cause tubing sections to come apart and fall, potentially leading to injury.
  • Soft Baseballs: Only the soft baseballs included with the game should be used, implying a throwing component to the game, possibly to knock down the limbo bar or a target.
• Portability: The inclusion of a storage/carrying case highlights its design for easy transport and setup at various locations.

Maintenance Features:

Proper care and maintenance are crucial for extending the lifespan of the LIMBO game, particularly the canvas:

• Canvas Protection: The canvas is powdered during shipment to prevent sticking. This powder should be removed with a dry cloth before use.
• Drying: If the canvas becomes wet, it must be thoroughly dried before folding and storing to prevent mildew and damage. The manual explicitly states, "Never fold up canvas wet. Always allow to dry thoroughly first."
• Folding: To protect the canvas and keep it clean, it should be folded inward.
• Cleaning:
  • General Cleaning: The canvas can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol when necessary.
  • Velcro Cleaning: If the game involves Velcro, the hook and loop fabric should be cleaned with a dry brush to remove dirt. For badly soiled Velcro, upholstery cleaner is recommended.

Replacement Parts:

A comprehensive list of replacement parts is available, ensuring the longevity and repairability of the game:

• Canvas: $450
• Case: $129
• Elbow fitting: $10
• Four-way fitting: $15
• Tee fitting: $15
