Bounce House Safety: 7 Things Every Parent Should Know Before Renting

At Rocky Mountain Rentals, we take fun seriously—but we take safety even more seriously.

Before you rent a bounce house or inflatable slide for your child’s party, here are 7 things you should know to protect your guests and your wallet:

1. Always anchor inflatables. We use commercial-grade tethers and stakes—never cut corners.

2. Avoid high winds. If winds exceed 15 mph, inflatables should not be in use.

3. Use adult supervision. One adult should be present for every 8–10 children.

4. Limit mixed ages. Separate toddlers from older kids to prevent injury.

5. Check your surface. Grassy, flat yards are best. Avoid slopes and gravel.

6. Know what your waiver says. Our rental agreement clearly outlines liability and usage instructions.

7. Ask about insurance. We carry general liability, and we strongly recommend adding us as additional insured if your event is at a public venue.
