7 Essential Bounce House Safety Tips for a Fun and Worry-Free Party

Our Wet/Dry Combo Bounce House Slide (Titanium theme)

1. Always Supervise

A bounce house is not a babysitter! Make sure a responsible adult is always watching the inflatable to monitor activity, enforce rules, and respond quickly if needed.

2. Limit the Number of Jumpers

Too many kids at once can lead to collisions. Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended capacity and try to group kids by age and size.

3. No Shoes, Sharp Objects, or Food

Shoes, toys, or even snacks can turn into safety hazards inside a bounce house. All participants should remove shoes and empty their pockets before entering.

4. Watch the Weather

Never use an inflatable in high winds or storms. If wind speeds exceed 15–20 mph, it’s safest to deflate the bounce house until conditions improve.

5. Set Up on a Flat, Clear Surface

We take care of setup for you, but it’s important to ensure there’s a flat, grassy or padded surface free from sharp objects, fences, or power lines.

6. Follow Age Guidelines

Most inflatables are designed for children under 12. Avoid allowing older teens or adults to enter unless the inflatable is specifically built for them.

7. Use a Trusted, Local Rental Company

At Double Bounce Rentals, we clean and sanitize every inflatable before and after each event. Our trained team ensures each bounce house is properly secured and safely installed.
