Jungle JumpaRoo

Jungle Jumparoo is an outdoor toy for children. It combines a frame of colored metal bars with a large inflated ring, so kids can bounce on it. It was pitched as an alternative to a backyard trampoline. Steve and Rachel McMurtrey, a couple from Pleasant Grove, Utah, created and sell it. The McMurtreys pitched in Season 6, Episode 5. The sharks saw some promise but had too many concerns to invest, and the couple left without a deal, as reported by the Daily Herald and Wikipedia. Their original ask appears only on fan sites, so it is not listed here. At the time of the episode, the business was still small. The couple had been selling it as their full-time job for roughly a year, with more than a thousand units sold. They said afterward that they had hoped for an investment rather than just the publicity, but that the sharks' feedback was useful. For families, the main selling points are portability and use across seasons, along with the pitch that it is a safer option for bouncing. As with any play equipment, buyers should check age ranges and safety guidance from the seller, since we have not tested it. The toy is still sold through the company's website, junglejumparoo.com. There is no independent reporting on the company's performance since the show, and the only post-show news coverage comes from a single local paper. Revenue estimates from fan sites are left out. Because there was no deal, no shark owns part of the company. The episode details are covered in the update below.
