bouncy castles are dangerous
At Leeds Met 2 years ago, i was out with a group of mates taking advantage of the £1 a pint rule at the bar. After 6ish pints and a couple of shots, we all decided it would be a good idea to go on the bouncy castle handily supplied next to the dance floor. After queuing for a good bit of the night, five of my mates and me got on there and promptly decided to start trying to do backflips and somersaults (as you do). In an effort to show off to everyone i decided to try a backflip, and landed with my hand under my knee, which tore the tendons in my hand. Cue bouncers escorting me into a back room to sign an accident form with my now badly swollen hand, and telling me and my mates to walk to the hospital down the road. It took half an hour due to people being sick after looking at my hand which was the shape of a tennis ball, and waiting at the hospital till 5am only to be told go home and come back at 8am. As it was just as wed broke up for easter i spent the next week on painkillers and embaressed by what happened. On the flip side we all got those cardboard bowls as souveneirs :)
