anything sharp. The defendant has repeatedly mended a "corner" of a room, where rips and tears have occurred due to frequent use. The repairs are not visible. Parents rent such a "room" for a child's birthday party, inflate it and set it up in their backyard. Children bounce around inside the room, but one hits the mended "corner", pushes through, and gets injured after hitting the ground. When that happened, the parents had been in their kitchen, getting cake and ice cream.
