🌌 The Origin of the Bouncing Castle: The "Space Pillow" 🌌
Did you know that the very first bouncing castle concept started back in the 1950s? 🎉 John Scurlock, a mechanical engineer, was experimenting with inflatable covers when he noticed that his employees loved bouncing on them! This discovery led him to develop the "Space Pillow" in 1959 – a simple inflatable structure with air-filled walls and floors, which quickly became popular for parties and events.
This innovative idea sparked the entire inflatable rental industry, and today, we're excited to carry on Scurlock’s legacy at Lizzy's Wonder Yard with unique inflatables like our brand-new Shark Bouncy! 🦈
