Many Austin residents have either been on a moon walk or have let their children play on one sometime in their life. Also known as, jumpy houses or inflatable playgrounds, these toys have caused many children to suffer injuries. After a recent study, statistics have revealed that moon walk injuries have nearly doubled within the last few years. Every 46 minutes, a child is injured from a moon walk.

Many Austin child injury attorneys have seen the danger in what seems like a harmless activity for children to partake in. From block parties to birthday parties, more and more American’s have considered renting a moon walk. Aside from the endless entertainment, they can also be extremely dangerous to children. From being trampled to suffering neck injuries, moon walks under the wrong supervision can be extremely dangerous.
