Jordanians resorted to a new way to vent their anger after the Corona pandemic by throwing axes at targets placed in front of them in a store in the capital, Amman.
The chambers of venting anger, which they call "X-Rig Rooms", in Amman, provide Jordanians with innovative ways to unload their anger, including destroying televisions, throwing dishes on the wall, and throwing the ax is their latest innovation.
"Fulfill your strangest pleasures of smashing things with a baseball bat or throwing dishes on the wall instead of washing them, or completely destroying office electronics with your co-workers as a one-off team instead of yelling at boring meetings," the store wrote on its website.
The owner of the store, Alaeddin Attari, said that there is increasing interest in these activities, at a time when people are searching for new methods of entertainment and some restrictions remain.
And Atari, the founder of the store, added: “There is a demand, especially after the (Corona) period, people used to be in the home quarantine period in Jordan and the stone period was long, and after that people liked to play sports or entertaining things, and among them was this thing .. in complete safety ... the region. Those who play axes in it are forbidden to miss without wearing protection for hands and eyes. ”
A participant in the game spoke about the difference between throwing an ax and throwing an arrow. Participant Nour Muhib said: “Are we all used to throwing the small arrow on the basis that we achieve the greatest possible points? As for the idea that we are throwing an ax with high strength and achieving the goal, we want the highest points. Honestly, an idea is not very familiar, from which the energy is released in a very strong way with the ax. ».
One of the participants, Diaa Al Yahya, said that throwing an ax has become one of his new favorite activities.
He explained, "I always go here on the shop, I mean, here. The idea of the ax was new in the shop and very sweet, especially after the corona period, of course, the chance that the one rises to the pressure that he lived during the period until it ended after the imprisonment of the Corona, and it was a lot of amusement and the rampant creation (the load of negative feelings was emptied)." .
Safety rules must be followed, and players must sign a declaration of full responsibility for their participation in the game.
A customer service representative said by phone that the game costs 15 Jordanian dinars ($ 21) per person to smash unlimited quantities of things for an hour, which is "more than enough for most people."
In March, the government imposed a two-month curfew aimed at curbing the spread of the Coronavirus.
