MomOfOneFunOne Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 This is OneFunOne! I have a really big, really cool flotation device in the shape of a sea monster. The rubber is fairly thick but not tire thick. It's thicker than your average floatie but not so thick that I'm not afraid to use it on the snow. I have a sled and I already tried to sled on it but it just sank in the snow. Do you think sledding on my water dragon will pop it? I really like it. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think it would be fine on snow. But you would have to watch out for hidden sticks that could pop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kiddies Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I just read an article that said the majority of sledding accidents happen when using tubes instead of sleds because as a rider you are unable to control where you are going. So I would have to vote no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I agree that it can be dangerous. Sorry to be a downer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 We used them. You just have to have a really clear sledding hill, with no trees and a large field to stop in. Because the only way to "steer" them is to put down a rudder (ie. hand) and dig in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think it would be fine on snow. But you would have to watch out for hidden sticks that could pop it. :iagree: And don't get a running start and jump onto it - you could blow out a seam.

LidiyaDawn Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I wouldn't do it if he's really important to you - the ones for water aren't usually as tough (plastic, seams) as the ones for snow and you might wreck him. The plastic may also harden and crack in the cold. If the snow is deep enough that your sled is "sinking", then there might be too much snow for sledding there...if it's just a little sinking but not going anywhere, the hill might not be steep enough... We used all manner of things for sliding as kids - including cardboard, thick garbage bags, and plastic .. I don't know what it's called... thick plastic that you'd use to cover things outside, like a tarp but not the blue or orange, it's clear. Most of those work best on a really steep, fairly worn/icy hill though...ummm and this is where I'm supposed to put the disclaimer and mention that we also didn't have bike helmets and rode around in the backs of pickup trucks. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I would not do it--I think there's a very good chance it will pop, plus it's dangerous because there's no steer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
