Running Away to Join the Circus
by Elizabeth
In addition to the information provided through the story board, there are a few other features I think are important.
I think this room has the potential to be really exciting and a big draw, however it also has the possibility to be a safety concern. The room will be much safer if we can try to ensure that people won't jump and land on each other in the foam pit. To push groups away from having more than one person in the foam pit at once, I added in the "get ready", "go", and "wait" signs which will only encourage another person to jump once the past jumper has hit the checkmark, inidcating they are out of the foam pit.
The other safety concern I tried to mitigate was a person getting caught on the hoop. To mitigate this I plan to have a hoop where the bottom chunk is missing, so that if a person was going to get caught and end up hanging on the bottom of the hoop, they would instead fall through the bottom of the hoop and land (more safely) in the foam.
My final comment on this room is that if space and money permits, it could be improved by having multiple people jump at once to make it more of a team activity.
