Moonwalk
Inflatable bouncer, also known as moonwalk,bounce house,bouncy castle,stands among the most ridiculous sources of amusement in the 21st century.Though it looks like a piece of amusement park scenery and bounces like a mattress, the moonwalk is made from high-grade industrial materials.Artistic flourishes for moonwalks range from their size differences to the addition of a superhero theme. Some moonwalks even come in the shape of animals or pagodas.But if purchase prices vary, rental rates have an even broader range. Many reliable rental companies begin around $150 for four hours, but some cost significantly more or less. Because the equipment for moonwalk rental services is relatively inexpensive to purchase, individuals can start their own businesses without needing much initial capital. All would-be inflatable renters need is an effective marketing plan and a few employees to renting out the moonwalk out to local events.Portable, popular and well-priced, moonwalks have remained amusing since their accidental invention in 1957. Engineering and physics professor John Scurlock of Shreveport, La., was working on an inflatable bubble-shaped cover for outdoor tennis courts when he noticed several students bouncing around on his experiment piece. When Scurlock went to revise his design, he did so with an eye to making a bounce unit that would be entertaining, not just weather-resistant. The result was the first ever moonwalk.
