GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- A new study published in the Journal Pediatrics states that childhood injuries related to inflatable bouncers are on the rise.

The popular party items, bounce houses and moonwalks, put children at risk for fractures, strains, and even collisions.

During the years 2008 to 2010, the number of injuries more then doubled with an average of 31 children injured per day.

Doctors recommend guidelines for bouncer usage and better design to prevent injury.
