This always scared me because I don't even know what counts as shaking.

Can you accidentally shake a baby? Can my 2 year old daughter get shaken baby syndrome when older children on an inflatable castle with her jump and bounce too wild around her (she can't jump yet but loves the bouncing)? I've also often seen parents throw their children a bit in the air and then catch them. The children like it and laugh.

I'm not even speaking of law and police but medically. Can this seriously hurt my daughter?

re: the bouncy houses and such. Other than kids banging into each other, this never seemed like much of a head or brain injury risk. But watch out for knees! Trampolines with more than one person on them are incredibly dangerous, and bouncy houses seem likely to be pretty dangerous with occupants of widely varying sizes. The specific issue is that the floor may move abruptly and unexpectedly when someone is trying to land, causing a potentially severe knee injury.

If you’re in a bouncy house with kids, consider avoiding any bouncing yourself.
