JumpSnap is a ropeless jump rope.  I thought it was a spoof, but apparently not.  In a way, this is an interesting idea… no rope to trip on, and you can use it in rooms with low ceilings.  The device makes a snapping sound to simulate the rope.

On the other hand, it seems like a ridiculous over-complication of something simple.  I know this is a radical idea, but if you’re going to pretend to jump rope, why not just pretend to jump rope?  Save $50, make your own snapping sounds.
