Troubleshooting
Slinky is tangled
Gently try to untangle the coils by hand, starting from the outer loops and working inwards. Avoid forcing any section, as this can worsen the tangle.
Slinky does not 'walk' properly
Ensure you are using a suitable surface like a smooth staircase or a flat, inclined surface. Check that the slinky is not excessively tangled or damaged.
Slinky seems stiff or less flexible
This can sometimes occur if the slinky has been stored tightly coiled for a long period or in cold temperatures. Try gently stretching and manipulating it to restore flexibility. Warming it slightly in your hands might help.
