What is a "jumper"? (a.k.a.- "moonwalk", "astrojump", bounce house", "jumpy
thing", "moonbounce", etc.)
A jumper is a big inflated jumping house that children of all ages enjoy jumping in at
parties and special events. A safe jumper consists of a jumping platform, four walls
and a roof. There is an entrance/exit on one side with windows all the way around.
Jumpers come in many shapes, styles, and sizes to fit any taste in any space!
This section is long but necessary to ensure all participants have a safe and
enjoyable day. Please read prior to using your jumper it contains all the
information you may need to handle anything that may arise during your
