- Researcher Comments
- Commentary: All over the country - everyone’s jumpy. And if that seems to imply that a catastrophe is imminent, the complete opposite is intended. In fact, everyone’s jumping for joy, bouncing with happiness, leaping for fun - on pogo sticks. Yes, after thirty years, pogo sticks have returned with a bound. And it’s not only a craze with the kids. Besides schoolchildren, we also filmed a pogo stick shopping expedition, a showgirl’s pogo stick keep-fit class and a businessman whose pogo stick helps him to get to work on time. As we said - everyone’s jumpy.
