Abstract
An apparatus has one or more arms extending from a rotating hub, and players jump over the arms for enjoyment or exercise. Specialized sockets or other mechanisms connect the arms to the hub such that the arms can be placed in myriad different positions, and the arms can be moved out of the way when they strike a player. Rotation of the hub can be motorized, with a mechanism for automatically stopping the rotation when any of the arms is dislocated from its socket.
