The similarity in injury patterns, and increasing rates of injuries, suggest that the AAP should perhaps consider making a similar statement regarding pediatric usage of inflatablebouncers.
In many ways, the rapid growth in bouncer related injuries and their similarities with trampoline injuries should increase the demand for safer guidelines for the usage in inflatablebouncers.
The possible reasons for increase in injuries may relate to an absolute increase in the number of inflatablebouncers, possible changes in design, as well as increased reporting of injuries.
At this point in time, public health officials as well as medical societies have yet to issue any safety recommendations regarding pediatric use of inflatablebouncers- perhaps the time has now arrived.
