I have looked in several dictionaries, but can't find this word, but it is on Google. It comes up with trampolines and jump houses (like for a party). Is this the brand name or just a newer word that has popped up since the recent rentals of these bounce houses and so it is not in dictionaries yet? ¡Gracias por su ayuda!

Será un anglicismo.

Brincar = jump (en español)

Trampoline (nuestro bouncy thing en inglés)

De ahí, tenemos "brincolin" lol....

Sólo una conjectura...

Mira: Brincolines aquaticos - En uno de los trampolines dice "brincolines aquaticos" así que estoy pensando que es sólo otra manera de decir "trampoline"

He visto "trampolín" y "cama elástica" en el DRAE

En este vídeo, se usa el nombre "brincolin" para decir "jumper" en un sentido general: Jumper
