It’s all fun and games until
someone loses an eye, or breaks a bone. According to the CNN article “Bounce House Injuries Skyrocketing” the instance of maladies caused by the inflatable
amusement contraptions are on the rise. It comes as the prevalence of bounce
houses increases at carnivals, church fairs, birthday parties, and more.
Children are now being rushed to emergency rooms for broken bones, bruises, and
sprains. Arm and leg injuries are said to be the most common. Slightly less
than 20% are treated for more frightening head and neck injuries. As with any
activity, I guess the best defense against injury is keeping an eye on the
children and establishing game rules so playtime does not get out of hand.
