I was so taken back by her question and replied, “Because he can’t.” She then told me, ”Well, if he can’t stand then there’s really nothing in the park for him to do.” I went on to tell her we were there for his birthday party, and I had talked about his condition with the owner, and he said it would not be a problem. About 20 minutes into the party an attendant came over to me and asked me why my son was not standing.

I was so happy seeing the smile on his face and hearing his screams of excitement and giggles as he went up and down. We started going from section to section in the park with me helping him walk and jump and he was having a blast.

When I booked the party with the owner – he stated this would be the best time (Kid FreeFall) to come with him so he could have the best experience and told me it would be no problem to have my son “walking” & “jumping” on his knees on the trampolines or me helping him jump. My son has special needs secondary to a traumatic brain injury and cannot stand or walk without assistance from someone or his walker. We booked his party during “Kid FreeFall” hours- meaning the park was only open to children 6 years and younger and they could have one adult accompany them while they jumped. We checked in, his guests arrived, and it was time to start jumping. I was looking forward to it for weeks and my son was so excited to be celebrating the day with his friends, he would talk about it every night before bed. Saturday was my son’s 5th birthday party at FreeFall in Bethlehem, PA.
