HOW TO PLAY
1
A large group of participants grips the edges of the blanket evenly all the way around, keeping it taut.
2
One volunteer stands in the center of the blanket while everyone else prepares to pull together.
3
On a coordinated count, the group pulls the blanket edges sharply downward and outward, launching the center participant into the air.
4
The participant aims to stay upright and controlled while airborne, sometimes performing a trick before landing back safely on the blanket.
5
Participants take turns being launched, and the group focuses on smooth, safe, well-timed pulls throughout.
