It has recently been brought to my attention that bounce houses (aka, the funnest paces on earth) are “dangerous” and, well, actually, the article didn’t use any other adjectives besides dangerous. .http://www.reflejos.com/en/stories/health/article/12-12-02/bounce_houses_a_party_hit_but_kids%E2%80%99_injuries_soar.aspx
This is preposterous. Do you know how many times I’ve killed it in a bounce house? (Figuratively speaking, calm down, helicopter parents).
Exhibit A – at my third birthday party
Exhibit B – the day after my third birthday party
Exhibit C: Me with my bestie, Evie, at an apple picking place (not exactly known for their high safety standards, hello, DDT)
I know there are a lot of dangerous things in this world, but do we really have to make bounce houses one of them? Lay off the Capri Suns, try not to dive headfirst towards the ground, and for the love of Dora, don’t “purposefully collide with others”. Duh.
