How Did Moonwalks/Inflatables Originate as a Form of Kids Entertainment?

The first inflatable structure was designed and invented in 1959 by John Scurlock in Shreveport, Louisiana who was experimenting with inflatable covers for tennis courts when he noticed his employees enjoyed jumping on the covers. John also previously worked for NASA on the Saturn 5 program however that did not have anything directly related to the invention of the first inflatable. He was a mechanical engineer and liked physics. John was also a pioneer of inflatable domes, inflatable tents, inflatable signs and his greatest achievement was the invention of the safety air cushion that is used by fire and rescue departments to catch people jumping from buildings or heights.   His wife Frances started the first inflatable rental company in 1968 and in 1976 they built a custom facility for the production and rental of the various products. They marketed the inflatables to various children’s events such as birthday parties, school fairs and company picnics. Their son Frank Scurlock expanded their rental concept throughout the United States. Frank also founded the first all inflatable indoor play park on Thanksgiving Day 1986 in Metairie, Louisiana. A second unit was opened in Memphis Tennessee in 1987. The first inflatable was an open top mattress with no sides and called a Space Pillow. In 1967 a pressurized inflatable top was added however it required 2 fans and it got very hot in the Summer like a green house. In 1974 to solve the heat problem, a new product line was created that had inflated columns that supported netting walls which allowed the air to pass thur. Further enhancements of this style were developed such as a line of castles and several animals which are referred to as the Inflatable Zoo. In the early 1990′s Frank created the first commercial inflatable water slide called the Aqua Tunnel.
