ABSTRACT:
A force limiting adjustable basketball goal includes a support member and counter-weight to rotate a basketball goal around a support pole to vary the rim elevation above a playing surface. An anchor chain secured to the pole and counter-weight includes a safety link that breaks when a pre-selected force is exerted upon the rim by a player dunking a basketball or hanging on the rim. When the safety link breaks, the basketball goal falls slowly to the playing surface, thereby requiring the replacement of the safety link before play is allowed to resume.
