These devices have been screened to guarantee appliance consistency and have variously supported static loads well in excess of 4000kg with burst resistance to a cargo of 500kg.
This does not portray that the gymball is puncture resistant but it does provide protection from sudden deflation. Burst immunity identifies AOK Gym balls are planned to acquire a minimal of 30 seconds to {deflate} if mistakenly punctured.
Every gymballs designed are pre-inflated and tested to withstand very low amounts of faulty balls. Over the past 5 years AOK have had a return rate of less than 0.2%
