Safety Tips for Soft Play, Bounce Houses, and More in the PNW
General Safety Guidelines for All Rentals
Whether your event is indoor or outdoor, consider these safety principles for all rentals and are generally accepted in the industry as best practices. Our professional team ensures proper setup and teardown, tailored to your unique space and event.
Essential Safety Rules
- Equipment Protection:
- No shoes, food, drinks, gum, face paint, temporary tattoos, glitter, confetti, slime, silly string, sharp objects, or pets on or near equipment.
- No rough play, piling, pushing, climbing, wrestling, or flipping
- Only soft balls allowed in ball pits—hard toys can cause impact injuries and damage
- No climbing on exteriors or netting; never move equipment from its installed position
- Remove sharp objects, jewelry, eyeglasses, and hair accessories before use
- Slides must be used feet first, one person at a time.
- Supervision Requirements
Adult supervision is required at all times to ensure a safe and positive experience. - Surface and Environment Considerations
Clean, flat, dry surfaces provide optimal safety for inflatables and play equipment. Our team will assess surface suitability during setup and may recommend adjustments based on conditions. Equipment should be positioned away from traffic areas and hazards. Freshly mowed grass is recommended before setup for outdoor events. - Weather Awareness
Outdoor events benefit from calm weather conditions. We monitor forecasts closely and will make recommendations to ensure safe conditions. We do not set up in rain to protect our equipment and ensure safe operation of electrical components for applicable products. Contact us for weather-related decisions or alternatives. Inflatables and certain items should not be used during rain, high winds, or other unsafe weather conditions. Weather forecasts are not always accurate and may change during your event. Contact us for updates or adjustments as conditions evolve. - Power Considerations
Most inflatables require a dedicated outlet or reliable generator. Confirm power access before your event.

Understanding how to prevent these risks helps ensure a fun, safe event and compliance with your rental agreement. Your signed rental agreement outlines all responsibilities and terms.
