Bossaball: like volleyball, but more dangerous

bossaball

It might be October, but that doesn't mean we can't show you one last insane inflatable object for summer fun. This thing is actually the court for a game called Bossaball, which is apparently popular in Spain. They've combined the excitement of volleyball with the potential injury of multiple people jumping on a trampoline. The entire court is inflated, and in the center there's a trampoline that'll bounce you extra high for super spikes and blocks. This isn't exactly a game you can pick up and play, as the court requires about 45 minutes of install time before it's ready for a leg-breakin' good time. It's apparently rentable for parties or events, although one would think you'd need a bit of practice before getting into any serious match. For extra fun you can get a "samba referee," basically a DJ who will say you're out of bounds. Personally, I think samba refs are ruining the dignity of Bossaball, but I guess I'm just a Bossaball purist.
