Velcro jumping is a game where people wearing hook-covered suits take a running jump and hurl themselves as high as possible at a loop-covered wall. [8] [17] The wall is inflated, and looks similar to other inflatable structures. It is not necessarily completely covered in the material—often there will be vertical strips of hooks.
Velcro IP Holdings LLC, [2] [4] [5] doing business as Velcro Companies and commonly referred to as Velcro (pronounced / ˈ v ɛ l k r oʊ /), [1] is a British privately held company, founded by Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral in the 1950s. It is the original manufacturer of hook-and-loop fasteners, which de Mestral invented. [2]

Metaklett (from German: Metall, "metal" and Klettband, "Velcro ribbon") is a fastening material made of steel that acts on a similar principle to conventional hook and loop fasteners. It was developed by Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH, Technische Universität München, Hölzel Stanz- und Feinwerktechnik GmbH & Co. KG and Koenig Verbindungstechnik GmbH.
De Mestral gave the name Velcro, a portmanteau of the French words velours ("velvet"), and crochet ("hook"), to his invention as well as his company, which continues to manufacture and market the fastening system. [9] [7] However, hook and loop's integration into the textile industry took time, partly because of its appearance.
