In the spring of 1981, 28-year old Samuel J. Kofsky of Manchester, New Hampshire, a Ph.D. candidate attending the School of Economics at Dartmouth University, lay in a Hanover, New Hampshire hospital room, recovering from the surgical excision of an apparent cyst. Soon after the operation, his surgeon and an oncologist entered the room and walked hesitantly to the foot of the patient's bed. The surgeon said, "Sam, I don't want to shock you, but our hospital pathology department reports that your biopsy shows you have a connective tissue cancer. It's a rare form of fibrosarcoma, which develops suddenly from small bumps on the skin like what I thought was your cyst. Sam, I'm sorry to tell you that there's an 80% chance it will take your life within four years."

In 1983, Carter and a team of Hong Kong engineers developed the first Half-Fold rebounder with a revolutionary hinge design. Carter began marketing his Half-Fold Rebounder in the U.S. through his company Rebound Dynamics of Seattle, Washington. The introduction of this innovative rebounder sparked interest and enthusiasm in the general public, causing competitors to develop and market their own imitations of Carter’s design.
