Barnham was a typical five year old boy. But earlier this year, his parents were devastated after a horrible accident at an inflatable ride park.
His mom Sarah Ruggerio says staff a the King of the Hill ride showed her how to toss Matthew into the air.
"We just assumed that he would come right back down like all the other kids," she says.
Matthew did not land on the ride. He landed head first on the concrete floor. He died at a hospital hours later.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 31-thousand people went to an emergency room after being hurt on inflatable rides between 2003 and 2007.
And, 85 percent are children under the age of 15. Experts say accidents are common when jumpers of different sizes are on the rides together or a bouncy house blows away.
"Inflatables are as dangerous as other rides. They have a high rate of accidents," says Mike Tripplet.
Tripplet is an amusement park inspector in New Jersey, one of the few states to regulate inflatables.
He says these rides are often set up and used improperly. He has seen inflatable rides held down with weighted buckets.
"The bucket could tip over and you'd have absolutely nothing tying the ride down at all. The ride could fly away, people could get injured," he says.
He's also observed rides that have been tied to a fire hydrant.
"That's absolutely acceptable. It's either tied to a stake or sandbags," the inspector says.
And inflatables set up too close to a tree. A kink in the tube of one ride is a danger because it restricts the air blowing into it.
At another ride, there was no operator present to supervise the jumpers.
"This is not a safe situation," says Tripplet.
Sarah says there were no employees supervising the ride the day her son Matthew was killed.
The mom says, "People go to these things every day not realizing the dangers that they're walking into."
It's not just inflatable rides that you need to be concerned about, inflatable pools pose a danger too.
More than 200 children have died between 2001 and 2009 in these kinds of pools. If you used one, keep your eye on your children at all times.
And when it comes to those inflatable rides, here are some safety checks you need to do before you let your child get on one.
Make sure the inflatable ride is tied down with stakes and sandbags.
Avoid the ride if the wind is blowing more than 15 miles per hour.
Check to see if there are mats at the entrance or at any spot where they can fall off.
No child under 3 years of age should be allowed on the jumpers, and make sure that all of the jumpers are the same size.
