Planning:

•  Turn off all sprinklers including under ground sprinklers.
•  Know where underground gas, plumbing and water lines are on your property. We will not be responsible for damage to pipes or plumbing of any kind.
•  Adult supervision of all children is required at all times. We repeat it often because it is very important and can't be said enough!
•  Inflatables need an electrical source; generators are available for an extra charge.
•  Keep all unnecessary electric wires and cables away from the inflatable.
•  Plan a spot in a grassy area or hard, flat surface away from your house meters and pool.
•  Be aware of the size of the inflatable you are renting, add at least a foot or two all around and then plan where the inflatable' unit will go.
•  Be sure there is overhead clearance too. Most units are 16 feet tall!
•  Provide water for thirsty bouncers to drink outside of and away from the inflatable
•  Plan a food, drink and snack area a safe distance away from the inflatable.
•  Keep all party toys such as 'silly string' and other toys away from the inflatable

Safety Rules:

•  Adult supervision of all children is required at all times.
•  Read and follow the rules printed on the actual inflatable unit you are renting.
•  Only staff may set up, and take down your jump house or slide.
•  The inflatables are designed for children.  Teenagers and adults are too big to bounce. Teen and adult weight can not be distributed correctly.
•  Children in the inflatables should be close in age.
•  Divide children by ages and give each group their own time to bounce, jump or slide in the inflatable Children must remove shoes before using Air Castles and Slides.
•  Keep all sharp objects away from inflatable units.
•  Keep all pets away from inflatable units.
•  Keep all food, drinks and snacks away from bounce houses.
•  Stay out of jump bounce houses and slides in strong wind or thunderstorms.
•  Inflatable units need to be deflated and not used in winds 15 MPH and higher.
•  Inflatable units need to be deflated during thunderstorms. After unit is deflated, please use mat to cover blower during rain or thunderstorms.
•  If the inflatable is deflated accidentally (i.e. power outage) have all children sit quickly and then exit orderly through the door, or emergency roof/ceiling release/exit.  You will have time to get everyone out safely!
•  After all children are safely out and away from the moonwalk, jump houses, slides, air castles, and various inflatable's, then fix the problem.
•  Keep all party toys such as 'silly string' and other toys away from inflatable units. Silly String (and similar products) destroys the fabric; it is prohibited around Air Castle and Slide Inflatable units.

Information about the netted windows:

•  All of our inflatable units have secure Safety Netting to keep bouncers safely inside.
•  Generous use of high quality netting and thread, results in safe, well ventilated inflatable units. 
•  Integrated netted windows are in all our inflatable units' rentals so that the children are always visible inside the unit. 

The netted windows can be a problem if children are permitted to hold the netting while jumping.  Be sure children are not holding the netting or leaning on the side walls.  Children's fingers and teeth have gotten entangled on webbing which has resulted in injury to fingers and teeth.

Information about the safety step:

•  All of our inflatable units have an Attached Safety Step for safe climbing in and out.  

The children need to climb onto the safety step and into the low doorway to enter the unit.  To exit the unit the children need to sit, or lay on their belly to slide feet first out of the low door and onto the step.  After they are sitting on the step they can get off of the step in a controlled, safer manner.

Information about the safety roof:

•  Most inflatable units have a special roof that can be used open or closed which can also function as an emergency exit.

The inflatable units will be fully inflated and safety checked before we leave. We will go over this safety check with you. Everything will be in safe operating order before we leave. When the unit is initially set up we ask for a 'dedicated' circuit meaning nothing else is plugged into the same electric line/circuit.  Sometimes a client believes there is nothing else on the line, but after we leave some other electrical appliance kicks in and pops the circuit. In this situation get the children out calmly, but quickly and THEN solve the blower's or inflatable unit's problem. 

The first sign there is a problem will probably be the change in SOUND; you may have A SUDDEN DROP IN SOUND, as the blower goes off.  As soon as you recognize the sound has stopped have all of the children SIT DOWN and then in an orderly fashion have the children exit quickly, but orderly through the door.

Alternately you can have all of the sitting children exit through the roof.  There are three clips on one side of the roof.  Make sure, during the safety check you have noted where the clips are located. In an emergency you can quickly unclip the roof and the children can exit. 

If the blower stops, either from a circuit popping, or someone accidentally unplugging the unit, it is scary for the children BUT you do have time to get the children out.  The top of the unit will fall down within 18 seconds, so some children will be coming out when the top is down.

WE recommend that before the children use the inflatable units for the first time you have them all together and explain the safety rules below, especially the part about sitting down if they hear your whistle blow.  Explain to them that everyone will get out safely, but it might be scary.

Information about the inflatable walls and weights:

•  Inflatable units are engineered to be safe when children's weight is distributed throughout the inside jumping surface area.
•  Know your inflatable units weight restrictions.  Be very careful not to exceed this weight.  Safety is based on this weight distribution. 
•  Each unit has a sign on the unit which details the limits for that particular unit. Read and follow these instructions.
•  Side walls are not constructed to support children bouncing off of the walls. They are designed to keep children safely inside.  Make sure no one bounces off the walls.
