Abstract

We have recently treated two adult patients with significant spinal injuries after using an inflatable 'bouncy castle'. We highlight the risks associated with these devices in the adult age group and review the current literature. We conclude that these devices should carry a clear warning to adults that their use by above-14 is hazardous.
