You could also play in a large swimming pool. Playing this game in a bigger swimming pool decreases your risk of hitting your head on the concrete so if you or your friends own a huge swimming pool, you can do it there too. If you’re at a public swimming pool ask the lifeguard if playing the game is against the rules - a lot of public swimming pools have banned guests from playing this game due to safety concerns. Don’t play this game in anyone else’s swimming pool without asking, doing so can get you in trouble and can be dangerous. [2] X Research source
Never play this game in a small swimming pool or on dry land, doing so could cause serious injury. Serious injuries are no fun so if you don’t want to get them then don’t play this game in unsafe places. Other unsafe places to play this game are rivers where there are large rocks in the water.

If you’re at home be sure to get your parents’ permission before you play. This is much safer when you play it at the beach but a huge swimming pool works too. [4] X Research source
If your partner is bigger than you, it would be easier for you to be on top.
Unfair play includes hitting, biting, kicking, and hair-pulling. Tickling your opponent to get them into the water is against the rules too. The vehicles must not fight each other. If you’re the vehicle - the person on the bottom - don’t attack the other vehicle to separate the opposing team. Just like rough play, this is against the rules too.
If you’re the vehicle, hold your partner’s legs so that they don’t fall off of your shoulders before you start the game. [5] X Research source
