I suppose bouncy castles present somewhat of an endulgent abomination to someone who's simple childhood mind was satisfied with a spinning top, a hoop and a stick?

When my son was younger he went to a party that had a bouncy castle and he fell off and hurt his back, he couldnt walk far for a couple of days but soon made a full recovery. Did I sue the parents, no. Why? Because he is a child and children get hurt all the time. Just because you ban bouncy castles they will find something else to hurt themselves on ffs. All this sueing business is turning us into America.
