Types
There are many types and brands of dunk tanks commercially available. Most consist of a plastic tank and seat, with a metal support frame. Others are made entirely of metal, and some are made of wood. Usually, there is fence-like protector around the seat, which is used to protect the person sitting on the seat from being injured by stray balls missing the target. The seat is latched in an upright position. When the target is struck, the seat becomes un-latched, thus dropping the victim into the tank.
