Unfortunately, when it comes to inflatable safety, not all bounce house rental companies are created equal. Gator Jump takes safety seriously. We follow the guidelines recommended by
ASTM, and
Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization, which include securing each water slide, bounce house, obstacle course, or inflatable game with 18” ground stakes. All of our inflatables are regularly updated and replaced with new items, and we only offer high-quality commercial-grade products.
Sadly, many party rental companies rent unsafe older inflatable rentals, which are dirty and outdated. They also lack the
safety advancements that new inflatables have. Some bounce house rental companies even offer cheap, low-grade inflatable rentals. These units are designed for residential use, so they lack the necessary safety features to keep your family safe.
1. An adult must supervise at all times
2. The safest way to use a bouncer is to allow only one child on it at a time. If more than one child is on the inflatable, make sure they are about the same age and size.
3. Before entering, remove shoes, glasses, and jewelry. Empty pockets of any sharp objects, as well
4. No roughhousing, tumbling, wrestling, or flips. Always jump as close to the center of the inflatable as possible, try to stay away from the entrance or exit and the walls of the bouncer
5. If the bounce house begins to lose air, or if it’s too windy, have everyone carefully exit the inflatable. A good indication of when it is too windy (between 13-17 mph) is when winds raise dust, and loose paper or small branches start to move. If this is the case, stop play immediately, and everyone exits is the case, stop play immediately, and everyone exit.
