Mostly my spare time comes from finding other people, telling
them what I want, and having them do the work.
On the other hand, can you believe there are people in the world
who often waste four or five hours on sleep every night?!?

Would trampolines add extra insurance concerns?

If you mean 'more insurance than the comic stores' then the
answer is yes. If you mean 'more insurance than bounce houses',
the answer is not really.
If you're really curious, there are a LOT of trampoline parks
around these days, and you can find a ton of pictures with a
Google image search of that term. These things are installed so
that they're at floor level, and the area around them is padded,
as well as surrounded by nets and padded walls. There is a
large area for open play, and some smaller area for private
groups at a slightly higher rate. There is also an area with
games like ball pits or basketball.

Hey, Jack, I wonder if you would have enough space to set up a
mini-Clip n' Climb in part of the place. My cousin was just
telling me that one just opened in the Vancouver area, and
people enjoy it a lot. Might be more insurance though, but I
thought I'd drop you a message about it anyway. :)

Thanks for the idea, Journey. Those look pretty cool -
HTML http://www.clipnclimb.com/
- for those of you unfamiliar with
it.
Unfortunately, we already have the plans in place and largely
completed. To change what we have now would be pretty expensive
and require a LOT more time, so it's not really possible.
Looks like fun, though.

I read recently about a fatal bounce house incident in England.
A house exploded and threw a small child 20 feet in the air.
Hard to imagine that would happen.

I haven't heard about this, but it's easy to find several
reports with Google.
First of all, each of the reports I read about were cases where
the House was in an outdoors setting. None of them reported the
cause of the explosion, but they were things like beach,
restaurant, fair. While they're really not that hard to set up,
I have several people, including Huck, who are receiving
training in maintenance and repair of this equipment. Also,
because they were outdoors, they didn't have the amount of
padding we do, but they did have much more open space where the
kids could be thrown.
If the insurance becomes an actual problem, we can always try
again with something a bit safer, but it doesn't seem to be a
problem in other cities so far.

Is storing the (deflated?) bounce houses an issue until such
time as they are put in to use? it seems they would take up a
lot of space.
