Bouncy castles have become more and more popular at children’s birthday parties and community events, usually children will stay in the bounce house for a few hours, so parents also like to put their children in the bouncy castle, but there are news reports Children are being treated in hospital for bouncy castle injuries every day , so we must understand how to keep kids safe when using bouncy castles.

1. Make sure the device is secure and the settings are secure. Inflatable toys have relevant laws in various places on how to set up and use them, check the insurance, registration and legality of the equipment before use, and fix the equipment, for which I wrote an article on my blog “How to set up inflatables with care?” .you can always check it out.

2. Always ensure that there is an adult on site whether it is an operator or a parent. They shouldn’t divert their attention away from the phone or to other things, like the phone. According to statistics, the main reason for bouncing house injuries is due to lack of supervision.

3. Children in an inflatable trampoline should always be at the same height. Usually people expect older siblings to take care of younger siblings, but this is unwise. If this is done, young children will often fall or knock over if they do not maintain their balance, and older, larger children tend to be more energetic during activities.

4. Take off sharp objects and wear non-slip socks. We all know you have to take your shoes off when entering a bouncy castle, but you’d better not go barefoot. Bouncy castles are made of plastic and rubber, and you can easily fall and hurt your ankle when you jump in shoes, but your bare feet have less friction, and you can easily fall if you’re not careful or if you encounter water.

5. Please evacuate as quickly as possible in extreme weather, especially in windy weather. The most news we have seen is that the bounce house was blown into the sky by the strong wind. This kind of incident is fatal to children. One of the reasons for such an accident is that the equipment was not fixed properly, and the other was that it was not evacuated in time due to bad weather.

6. Don’t do tricks like somersaults, flips and other stunts on the bounce house. When playing a slide, you should slide your feet first, not your face, as this can lead to neck or head injuries. If you fall, stand up immediately to avoid being stepped on by others. Proper bouncing and sliding can help reduce the risk of injury.

All in all, hope you and your kids have a nice and safe day at the Bounce House.
