Several Wichita parents were caught off guard when two local companies that provide inflatable rides called them at the last minute to cancel weekend reservations.
Several Wichita parents were caught off guard when two local companies that provide inflatable rides called them at the last minute to cancel weekend reservations.
The Wichita Eagle reports the phone calls from Moonwalks for Fun and Pure Entertainment started going out soon after the newspaper reported Thursday night the city was investigating the companies.
Moonwalks for Fun had its license to provide inflatables in the city revoked for two years in June 2011 because of a five-month gap in liability coverage. Pure Entertainment is allowed to have inflatables at its site, but only from providers licensed by the city.
The two companies began having troubles in 2010, when a 5-year-old boy died after falling from an inflatable provided by Moonwalks for Fun at Pure Entertainment.

Our local inflatable guy, Doug's does a wonderful job and is very safety oriented. I have attended events with his equipment and he is very safe a careful with how he sets up.
