Big Bounce America returning to Metro Detroit this weekend
The world's largest bounce house is returning to Metro Detroit for another weekend. Big Bounce America will open at Steffens Park in Fraser through May 25. The over 24,000-square-foot inflatable includes giant slides, ball pits, climbing towers, and basketball hoops. Families can register for four different sessions: toddler (3 years and younger), junior (7 years and younger), bigger kids (15 years and younger) and adult (16 years and older). "We need more fun in the world, and what better way to bring that into 2025 than with a 24,000 sq. ft. bounce house," said Noa Visnich, manager of The Big Bounce America. "The Big Bounce America is the perfect event for kids and adults alike to get out of the house and enjoy an outdoor event like they've never experienced. Complementing the biggest bounce house in the world, OctoBlast, Sport Slam, The Giant, and airSPACE make this a not to miss experience. So, we invite all kids, and kids at heart, to kick those sneakers off and PARTY ON." For more information on Big Bounce America in Michigan, visit the company's website.

Wind gust lifts bounce house at Mesquite elementary school, injuring students
A group of students at a Mesquite elementary school sustained injuries Friday after a sudden gust of wind hoisted a bounce house during a school play day event. School officials reported that the injured students from Lawrence Elementary School were transported to a hospital for medical evaluation. None of those students sustained life-threatening injuries, according to Mesquite ISD. The district contacted the affected families. "All other students are safe and continuing the school day indoors," said Sabreana Smith, a spokesperson for Mesquite ISD. "Out of care and caution, the remainder of today's outdoor Play Day activities have been canceled." Counselors were called to campus and made available for students or staff in need of support following the incident, Smith said. An investigation is underway, the district said. "We are committed to reviewing every aspect of the event to ensure it never happens again," Smith said. "Nothing matters more than protecting the children entrusted to our care." CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.
