• All of our Air Castles have an Attached Safety Step for safe climbing in and out.  Combo units, which are lower to the ground, do not all have attached safety steps.

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.

•  NJ law prohibits shoes, or any sharp objects in an inflatable.

•  Socks are required to prevent the spread of foot borne fungus. Have some extra clean socks around for guests that forget their socks.

•  If it rains and the inflatable has become wet, (even though towel dried) socks are considered dangerous/slippery so they are removed.

Information about siblings, sizes and ages in the inflatable:

Manufacturer Safety Rules:

• 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!

• You will be provided a temporary copy of the Owners Manual for the specific Air Castle and Slide you are renting.  It is the original and needs to be returned when we pick up the unit. Safety manuals are now in a protective plastic pouch attached to the blower's handle.

• While we are training you, we will go over specific points from the manual with you.

• You will be required to do a 'walk around' where a staff person walks around the specific rented inflatable and shows you;

  • How your unit is anchored

  • How the blower is attached/reattached

  • How to turn the blower on/off

  • The emergency safety exit on your specific unit

  • The manufacturer's information patch including number of children permitted on the ride at one time.

  • Other items/issues specific to the inflatable you are supervising.

• You should familiarize yourself with the remaining points in the manual, before the party begins.

Extract from Consumer Product Safety Commission:

"The commission is aware of nine incidents, which resulted in 21 injuries, on large slide-type inflatables and 33 incidents, which resulted in 33 injuries, with bounce-type inflatables. These incidents were primarily attributable to improper operation, anchoring and set up. Due to the number of injuries and incidents involving inflatable rides and to reduce the number of injuries through a more consistent industry-wide operation of all inflatable amusement rides, the Commission staff issued this safety bulletin.

The Commission requests all owners, operators, state safety officials and those firms that rent inflatables to private parties to closely follow manufacturers instructions and guidelines for operation and set-up. In addition, the following recommendations should be adhered to:"

• "Minimum number of operators on an Inflatable slide is two (2).

• Minimum number of operators on a inflatable bounce is one (1).

• DO NOT exceed manufacturer’s requirements for maximum loads for individual rides."
