So today was Trainer Olympics for my company - basically a field day for adults. We're out at the beach all day doing all sorts of silly games - balloon slingshot, dodgeball, wheelbarrow races, etc. We save the best for last - the bounce house obstacle course. We made it a relay of 6 people going against 6 other people from another store in our company. I go first against some badass guy in killer shape. I make it through, tearing up my knee as I fly out of it, but whatever - thank goodness it's over. The next round goes and a guy dislocates his elbow and breaks his finger, so we have to start over. Great! I go through, I'm almost at the end - I'm going over this slide head first, and my legs like come up over my head from behind, and I slam down knocking the wind right out of me. I jump up thinking "screw it, I HAVE to finish" but I just could NOT breathe. I get out, stand around for a bit and all of a sudden am in the worst pain in my side! So to prevent a long story from getting longer - I'm forced to go to the hospital and they tell me I tore an oblique. Wth - who does that!! :fight:

Sorry to hear. That sucks, I would never want to deal with that.
Thats why I only lift and do cardio. I might get injured, then I couldn't lift. That would be bad. :D -
that really sucks!
but you have to admit it sounds like those game shows from china that they bring here and have comedians do voice-overs on... :PComment

Other than your injuries that sounds like a good you tube video. Hope you heal quickly. Those bounce houses are always deadly those things have sprained ankle written all over them.
I worked at a party story in high school and we had a 25 foot slide and I was dared to go down it in a sumo suit sprayed in armor-all... not good.Comment

My general manager was a wreck last night worrying and saying she never wanted to do this again. Next year she'll probably make us play like "carry the egg on a spoon" relay lol.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View PostComment
