I bought an adult-sized skipping rope for me at the Superstore the other night. Seeing as though I’m such a responsible person I decided it might be a good idea to read the health warnings that came with it.
I’m SO GLAD I DID.
I thought I should reproduce them here just in case you have a skipping rope lurking around your home as well.

So there you have it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
