Trend: Bounce Houses for Adults

As a father, I can see how this gets started. Rental bounce houses are popular at kids' birthday parties and other festive events. I've certainly thought about joining in on the fun. But is it okay to bounce along with the kids? Maybe not. It might look weird.

So, the Wall Street Journal (sorry, paywalled article) reports, companies that offer bounce house events are increasingly marketing their services to adult-oriented events, such as weddings, as well as offer bounce house events just for adults. Thus us grown ups can jump around without feeling socially awkward or worrying about accidentally falling on and injuring a child.

That said, we geezers aren't as flexible and nimble as we used to be. The Wall Street Journal reports that injuries occur, so it's necessary to know one's limits and get medical attention if you're a wuss you get hurt while bouncing around like the kid you are at heart.

Back in the 90's it occurred to me that I really missed playing on a playground when I was a kid and that if I were very wealthy I would open a chain of playgrounds for adults. Who doesn't miss using a swing set or a jungle gym? How about climbing up a rope ladder? No barbells and weight lifting items, no stationary bikes. Just a big old playground with a pool, too. I really think they would have been immensely popular.
