History:
Aquilino Cosani was born on April 13, 1924. He was and currently is the co-owner of LEDRAGOMMA of Italy, now called LEDRAPLASTIC, the manufacturers of gymnastic balls since 1963. During the sixties, Aquilino invented a jumping ball called 'PON PON' for use in play and exercise. This ball had a rigid handle for the grip. Cosani redesigned and improved the jumping ball during the eighties. Their new product called HOP, is also a ball with handle, but this time the handle was realized in a softer vinyl material and molded in connection with the ball -- progress from the point of view of the safety of the handle.

It's a kangaroo ball.
"A space hopper, also known as a skippyball, kangaroo ball, bouncer, hop ball, or a hoppity hop, is a rubber ball with handles which allow one to sit on it without falling off. The goal is to hop around with it, using the elastic properties of the ball to move forward. This can be carried even further by employing several balls and organizing a race."

It's a "this looks funny in cartoon but if it were a real man it would creep everybody out" ball.
