Dunk tank (original) (raw)

A dunk tank, also known as a dunking booth or dunking machine, is a common feature at Canadian and American fairs, fundraisers, and celebrations. It consists of a huge water tank with a volunteer sitting on a collapsible bench above. When the ball hits the goal, the seat collapses and "dunks" the player into the water. People often volunteer to be dunked while fully dressed for comedic effect.
