DARKLIGHT PUTS NEW V5 EQUIPMENT TO THE DROP TEST

In front of a late night party of LaserTag operators, manufacturers and the ILTA a flippant suggestion from an operator baited Jimmy Haycraft, founder of DarkLight, into dropping a new V5 LaserTag pack off the ninth floor of a hotel to prove its reliability.

As Erik Guthrie awaited on the concrete curb below, the pack came crashing down beside him narrowly sparing him death by LaserTag suit.

Slowed only by the elevator, Erik rushed back up with the pack to a room full of highly amused and sceptical onlookers eagerly waiting to see how the pack had survived.

It turned on and, apart from a few scratches. was unaffected by the trauma!!
