He patented the idea in Italy in 1968, and in the United States in 1971. Cosani called the toy "Pon-Pon".

It's important that the user doesn't exceed the maximum weight limit of their hopper. It will only be safe up to its weight limit — if someone heavier attempts to bounce, it could burst and cause an injury. Hopper ball weight limits are usually higher the larger they are, which is another reason why you should avoid using a model that's too small for you — so, no stealing your child's hopper ball for a bit of fun! Weight limits can range from less than 50 pounds for toddler models to more than 300 pounds for adult models. Features Design Get kids to practice on soft surfaces first. Space hoppers are generally safe, but new users are likely to take a few spills while they get the hang of it. As such, it's wise to start out on carpeted areas or grass before attempted to hop on hard surfaces. It's fairly common for hopper balls to be sold with a pump included for easy inflation.
