bouncy castle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one pumped up for event' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'energetic man on board' is the wordplay.
'energetic' becomes 'bouncy' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'man on board' becomes 'castle' (A castle is a piece in chess).
'bouncy'+'castle'='BOUNCY CASTLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bouncy castle that I've seen before include "Inflated fortress for kids" , "Inflatable fort for children's play" , "Blown-up fortress?" , "Inflatable device at fetes etc" , "[ENTERTAINMENT] loved by children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
