DDR upstairs???????????

Question

I wanna play ddr upstairs? Is it safe? My dad tells me that the house will collapse if i play ddr upstairs. I'm only 95 pounds...I live in a 45 year old house??? Is he telling the truth??? Help please! I don't wanna become a hobo!

Answer 1

Lol no way! I weigh 110 lbs and I played with 2 players (other player weighs 82) and nothing happened. I don't know about your house's materials and stuff. Try not to jump to hard, it won't collapse but you might break something downstairs(or make it seem like an earthquake.)

Answer 2

Not if you use the one with the mat.

If you use the arcade version then yes it will fall apart.

Answer 3

As long as you're not pounding away on a flimsy, rotten floor, nooooo, it shouldn't hurt anything.

He's probably more worried about the vibrations it makes.  Even with a nice light person, stomping and jumping on those pads can make a lot of noise.  

If you get a nice mat with an inch of foam in it instead of a flimsy one, it will both help your gameplay and reduce vibrations.  If you have a flimsy one, you can maybe get an inch-thick foam from a craft store or something and staple your mat to it (Just the edges!)  

Also, you can put it on a piece of plywood.  The advantage of this is that you can raise it above the floor just a little (as in, slip two quarters under each corner.)

Answer 4

i tried this once.

now i have to use the library computer because ours fell through the floor and got destroyed.

and my parents are both working 2 jobs so we can afford to buy a little 1 room hut by the river.

if only i hadn't played ddr upstairs...

Answer 5

hahaha thats funny but i dont think it will cause the ouse to collapse! it will probably be very noisy though stick with downstairs

Answer 6

Oh jeez. No your house is not going to collapse. Come on, have some common sense. If your upstairs can hold all your furniture and stuff, it can hold you.
