Manufacturer's Description
Serious fun for everyone aged 6 and up, the Super Stomp Rocket Kit will quickly become a firm favourite with children and adults alike. This set includes a rocket launcher, 6 re-usable high performance rockets and a jump on stomp pad. All you have to do to propel your chosen projectile a staggering 400ft into the air is place the rocket on the launcher, take a step back and then leap onto the pad with all the force you can muster. There's no need for batteries or fuel and--as the whole set is nice and portable--you can take it to the park, beach or anywhere else that grabs your fancy. You can even order replacement rockets as and when the time comes because, let's be honest, you may end up losing a couple pretty quickly. Just watch out for low-flying aircraft and remember to look up after the launch. After all, what goes up may soon come down--right on top of your head!

Priceless entertainment
Dads: Stuck inside on Christmas Day, tubes not running, no shops, no entertainment, no sign of life? Here is the answer to your Christmas prayers, and the kids will love it too.

The Stomp Rocket is an absurdly simply concept - there's really nothing to it, the only wonder is no one's ever thought of it before.

Is it educational? Sure - and how: If given the benefit of the full, concentrated force of father's 17 stone frame travelling downwards with gravity (accelerating at 10m/s2, so well worth experimenting by standing on chairs, ladders, launching from trampolines etc.), these little plastic rockets really will go MILES in the air and will (wind permitting) prescribe a perfect parabola, and the rocket flites are rifled, ensuring the cylinder rotates aerodynamically and thus attains greater distance and accuracy. There; you can't get much more educational than that - and this would be one physics lesson I'd happily repeat, day in day out, at least until the rockets had disappeared.

And disappear they will, very quickly, either by attaining escape velocity and never returning to planet earth at all (Beagle 2 scientists, take note), or by falling apart.

This is my only criticism - the whole thing is VERY flimsy indeed, and the rockets in particular will crack, the flites will fall off, and if you should sit on them, they're useless (there's a lesson in that, too!). I have seen a set of three replacement rockets advertised for £6, which is an abusrd price, given that they are just a plastic tube, a glued-on flight and a rubber nose. And there you have a further educational incentive - it would not be hard, and quite a bit of fun, I dare say, to make the rockets (or even the whole thing) yourself.

Outstanding entertainment.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This toy is absolutley excellent, you can fire the rockets up to 300 feet!! It is my kids favourite outdoor game (until they have to get the rockets back!) Great toy for a great price, a must have for parents with kids!!! Recommended AAA***

Infinity and beyond (oh well, not quite)
My 2 have really enjoyed playing with this and have spent many an afternoon outside with it (I enjoyed less having to retrieve rockets off the roof, out of tree's, neighbour's gardens etc...). You 'stomp' on an airfilled bladder which shoots the rocket up quite some distance. The harder you stomp the higher it goes. The launch mechanism allows you to set the angle the rocket flys at. The rockets are very light (lightweight plastic cylinder with a rubbery nose) and so won't break regular windows but could hurt people or do damage to a greenhouse! After a while (several months of being left outdoors to be precise) the plastic rockets go a bit brittle and break easily.
