Meet the jumping pillow! If you've been reading my blog, you will know that this is the wonderfully kiwi invention that we ran into in Christchurch. I thought it was an absolute blast. Some people, however, had less than optimal encounters with the jumping pillow. You see, on a dry, sunny day, the jumping is just pure clean fun. Add in some rain and wet sand--and the jumping pillow turns deadly. This is an example of the one of things that is so wonderful about New Zealand. I don't quite understand but it's something like they have no liability laws here. Thus, allowing them to be the adventure capital of the world, and put things like the jumping pillow in playgrounds designed for small children.
See what I mean--FUN.
Notice the very small child to the far right of this picture. If college-aged people can't keep from hurting themselves, I don't think the three year-olds should be allowed on this thing.
