After all, you never know, you could end up with a long hospital stay that the bubble wrap could prevent. I know the current bubblewrap doesn't breathe, but I am sure they can figure out a way to ventilate it a bit better.

I think a law should be passed requiring everyone to be wrapped in bubblewrap as soon as they leave their beds - especially the children. Do you know how many children end up in the hospital every year from broken bones, etc? And think of the old people who fall and break a hip - it seems like a week can't pass without me hearing about someone falling and breaking a hip - and I am sure a lot goes unreported. Bubblewrap for everyone!
Hope you didn't have plans to patent that idea.
