Feds to Ban Bouncy Houses

Step one was to give everyone free Obamacare. Step two is to ban all the things that make childhood fun. Case in point is the outcry by liberals that bouncy-houses cause their precious snowflakes to bump their wittle noggins. So bouncy-houses will have to be deflated to save on Obamacare cash.

From the AP here:

They may be a big hit at kids’ birthday parties, but inflatable bounce houses can be dangerous, with the number of injuries soaring in recent years, a nationwide study found.

Kids often crowd into bounce houses, and jumping up and down can send other children flying into the air, too.

The numbers suggest 30 U.S. children a day are treated in emergency rooms for broken bones, sprains, cuts and concussions from bounce house accidents. Most involve children falling inside or out of the inflated playthings, and many children get hurt when they collide with other bouncing kids.

Bounce house injuries are similar to those linked with trampolines, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended against using trampolines at home. Policymakers should consider whether bounce houses warrant similar precautions, the authors said.

Kids get hurt because parent’s don’t pay attention or the kids just don’t listen. I wonder if Sarah Palin’s death panels are going to refuse to treat the kids who get injured in a bouncy house? Or will the Feds simply impose a huge tax that makes these bouncy-houses cost prohibitive to afford and operate?
