Crash Test Toys - Tunnel Bags

These Tunnel bags were the only product used to hold tunnels at the 2001 and 2003 AAC Ontario regionals, and the 2002 AAC Canadian Nationals with tremendous success!

These tunnel sandbags have proven to be very effective in holding tunnels in place under trial conditions. They are painless to use, look sharp & greatly increase course safety by removing the medieval steel & wooden frames currently used. The sandbag is designed to fill the area where the base of the tunnel meets the ground, much like a wheel chock does for a tire. This prevents the tunnel from rolling while the wide upper part of the bag supports the tunnel & the strap secures it in place without collapsing the tunnel like bungee cords. Overloading the bags is self-defeating as it prevents them from forming the correct shape to fit the tunnel base.

Made using 18oz. Reinforced vinyl (truck tarp), rot-proof nylon upholstery thread, Velcro & nylon seatbelt webbing. The vinyl is an extremely tough material used for transport truck covers.

Available in Red, Blue & Green with yellow welting and Yellow with blue welting. All side seams are double stitched.

Custom colours available - Eg. 'Canada' set with maple leaf or red, white and blue bags - please inquire!

Top loading with Velcro closure. Bags are shipped empty & require 10 - 12 Kg. (20 - 25 lbs.) of play sand per bag (i.e. soft sand, not 'concrete'sand)

Re-designed strap provides enough adjustment to allow expansion to fit chute barrels. The strap is simply passed through the heavy duty D-ring on the paired bag, folded back & held by the large Velcro tab.

The webbing loop at the top of the bag makes an easy carry handle during course changes.

It is suggested that the Master course builder instruct helpers that they are not at the Highland Games & that the 'Sandbag Toss' is not an event at their trial.
