Safety Rules
IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE DESIGNATED SUPERVISOR OF THE INFLATABLE
Check wind speed. It is illegal to operate an inflatable when wind speed at the site exceeds 45 km/hr.
Periodically check that pegs are secure in the ground, that the fan is still securely attached to the inflatable, and that there are no obstructions to the air inlet on the fan (such as paper, leaves, etc.).
Report any accident that required medical attention, or any incident, loss or damage to equipment.
Permit children to a maximum age of 8 years for the 4 x 4m size castle and 13 years for the 5 x 5m size castle. With special care the supervisor may allow a limited number (1 or 2) of 9 to 10 year olds for the 4 x 4m or 14 to 15 year olds for the 5 x 5m, provided younger children are first removed.
Grade children by age and size, and give each group turns. Do not mix these groups.
Discourage children from playing on the step. Children should sit and slide off the step when exiting the castle, and they should not be allowed to jump off.
Prevent children from climbing, sitting, or standing on the walls and/or netting of the inflatable. Prevent rough play, tackling, or fighting. Somersaults may be allowed at the discretion of the supervisor, if he or she considers it safe with the particular circumstances.
Prevent children from wearing shoes on the inflatable. Shoes can injure other children, and can cause permanent marking of the vinyl.
Prevent sharp objects such as toys, glasses, pens, etc from entering the inflatable.
Prevent pets on the inflatable. Sharp claws can cause permanent damage.
Prevent sand or water from hoses or buckets on the inflatable. If the castle is deliberately wet or left sandy, a cleaning fee will apply.
Prevent streamers, confetti, party poppers, or silly string on the inflatable.
Prevent, under any circumstances, the repeated switching on and off of the fan. This will cause damage to the motor.
In the event of rain, do not switch the fan off. This will allow water to get inside the inflatable. Depending on the amount of rain your castle may be cancelled due to wet weather.
