Did you hear in the news

A couple who hired a bouncy castle for their children's party has been sued by the parents of a child at the party was kicked in the heard accidentally by another child !!!


Puts you off holding parties !!!

It doesn't say in the report I read it just said he caught the other boys head with the side of his heel.

They were sued for lack of supervision !

'Have you been hurt recently though no fault of your own'-----was the question I was asked so many times in February during my last visit to uk-Oldham market ,Piccadilly,Stockport shopping centre,what is this mother going to reply???
Course she's going to go for it--
OMG--I'm remembering all the games I made for my girls parties----tasting and identifying vinegar,peanut butter,ketchup--all blindfold in the garden!
Great fun was had by all---

What a joke. I feel sorry for the kids parents, I bet they totally wrap him in cotton wool.

Romany-I was thinking that myself-first time he's been allowed out to real play !

i've had parties, bouncy castles, face painting, pool, swings, but i was there watching them but the kids were all the same age.... very hard i suppose if you have diff ages and their all over the place, very sad it happened, their houshold insurance can cover some of it but 2 mill i suppose that will come out of taxpayer, but the poor boy needs help, just hope the parent use the money on him and adapting their home etc, etc..
i'd still have parties, like you say, just watch but they gotta have fun, boys are boulstry anyway, you have to calm em down and keep giving em drinks...lol
still all a shame..

The injured boy was a Aspergers Sufferer,before he was injured,,,,,,,,so probally 11yrs didnt seem so old for him at that time,,?

15 is way too old then. I haven't heard about this case til just now, but I would imagine most 15 yr olds would be embarrassed to go on a bouncy castle.

joan, seems any age at parties, my neighbours have a couple every year, and all the adults and kids bounce about at the same time aswell, mind boggles...

i seriously hurt my back about 4 yrs ago whilst drinking and jumping on one it was at our old local, i bent backward so far the back of my head nearly touched my heels, i would never think of suing the people who had the adult party were my freinds ,i hate them and trampolines i just vision nose bleed s and bangede heads in kids, next door have a trampoline and kids constantly hurt them selvs

Sorry-my earlier comments were assuming party goers were 2-8 year olds (bouncy castle age) .

Laddo gave himself a black eye on a bouncy castle he tried a somersault and kicked himself, lovely shiner it was.

Just been speaking to someone who hires bouncy castles and he says they always tell the children no somersaults etc just bouncing.
