A professionally constructed bouncy castle is the basis for a safe event, but the real responsibility begins with the first jump. Active and informed supervision is the key factor in minimizing risks and ensuring the event remains a positive experience for all guests. These instructions provide you with the most important rules and procedures for smooth and safe operation.
At a glance: The instructions in 5 steps
Step 1: Appoint a competent supervisor
Appoint a responsible, adult person to continuously and actively supervise the bouncy castle throughout its entire period of use. This person must know the rules of use, be able to enforce them, and intervene immediately if problems arise.
Step 2: Clearly communicate the rules of use
Before using the game for the first time, explain the rules of the game clearly and understandably to all participants. A visual aid in the form of a sign at the entrance is ideal. The most important rules are: shoes off, no sharp objects, no eating or drinking, and no climbing on the walls.
Step 3: Actively regulate the number of users
Make sure you strictly adhere to the maximum number of users specified by the manufacturer. Overcrowding is a major cause of accidents. Ideally, divide jumpers into groups according to age and size to avoid collisions between large and small guests.
Step 4: Monitor the weather continuously
Keep a constant eye on the weather, especially the wind. Operation must be stopped immediately in the event of strong winds (at the latest at wind force 5 if larger branches are moving) or in the event of a thunderstorm. Safety is an absolute priority.
Step 5: Carry out regular technical and safety checks
During operation, regularly take a quick look at the critical points: Are all anchors still firmly in the ground? Does the fan run freely and without obstruction? Is the bouncy castle still full and stable? A quick check every 30-60 minutes is enough.

Chapter 4: The company - rules for exuberant and safe fun
4.1 The role of the supervisor: More than just watching
The most important rule during operation is: A bouncy castle must never be used unattended. A suitable, responsible and attentive adult must keep an eye on the children playing at all times. “Active supervision” means more than just being present. It is a proactive task that includes the following.
4.2 The golden rules of the bouncy castle (for the participants)
Before the first guest enters the castle, the rules should be communicated clearly and understandably. A simple list will help: Take off your shoes! You can only hop on socks or barefoot. Empty pockets and no sharp objects! This includes glasses, jewelry, keys.
Proactive management for unadulterated joy
Safety during operation is in the hands of the supervisor. Through consistent adherence to clear rules and constant vigilance, the role changes from reactive (reacting to an accident) to proactive (preventing the conditions for an accident). This will ensure that your event is a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
