Renting An Inflatable Bounce House? What To Consider When It Comes To Safety

Are you going to rent an inflatable bounce house for your outdoor event? Whether this is a block party or your kid's birthday party, it's important to know what you should be doing in terms of safety. Follow these tips to ensure that everyone has a safe and fun time with the bounce house. 

Have Everyone Remove Their Shoes

Removing shoes before entering the bounce house serves two purposes. It not only keeps the space clean for all of the bouncers, but it makes the space safe. Kids are going to be falling down and not watching where they are jumping, which means fingers, feet, and even faces might be stepped on. It is going to feel a lot better if those feet are barefoot rather than covered by a shoe, so make sure that everyone takes off their shoes before entering. 

Keep The Adults Out

As tempting as it may be to let everyone use the bounce house, it is a good idea to limit the fun just to the children. It's one thing for two small children to collide with each other in the bounce house. Throw an adult into the mix, and things can escalate quite quickly. You would be surprised at how adults will not be aware of how big they are when they are given the opportunity to bounce and do flips. If the adults want a turn, have a safety break and just let the adults use it. 

Follow The Occupancy And Weight Limit

Every bounce house should have a guide for how many people and how much weight the bounce house can support. This is important to follow for several reasons. Not only is it important for overall safety reasons, but too much weight could damage the bounce house as well. The last thing you want to have happen when renting a bounce house is to lose your security deposit because it comes back with a broken motor or a hole in the material. 

Be Aware Of High Winds

Keep an eye on the weather, and make sure that you won't have any incidents where high winds can cause the bounce house to become unstable. You should have everyone leave the bounce house if it starts getting too windy and there is a chance that the bounce house could tip over. Even if the bounce house is secured to the ground, strong winds can pull those stakes right out.
