Do you beleive there can be such a thing as a Stability Ball Curse?
I have had four stablility balls in as many years. The first one was lost when my then two-year old son wanted to know what would happen if he poked a pencil into that pretty blue plastic. You should have seen his face when he realized it was a BAD thing! He's lucky the face was so cute or I might have skinned him! Instead I got a new ball.
At three, he apparently forgot that it was bad to stick sharp things into those big balls and he used a screwdriver to see what would happen. I forgave him and bought a new ball. Nothing was used to puncture that one but it was popped by one of his little buddies, who had probably heard me say "this is EXERCISE EQUIPMENT, not a toy," a few thousand times--every time I took it away from them and stowed it with my beloved gear.
I replaced it, had to for the Intensity Series. It's never been inflated because my 12 year-old daughter decided to open the box up and check it out and the plug disappeared into that void where things go and are never seen again. And I keep thinking about the three balls that I sadly tossed into the garbage with their plugs plugged in. How little forsight I have not to have harvested those plugs for THIS stabilty ball scenario.
Of course, I didn't know about the curse then so....
