Jumping Castle Safety 101: Essential Tips for Parents and Event Planners

Safety is our top priority at SA Jumping Castles, and it’s something we take seriously. With a few simple steps, you can ensure your jumping castle party is not only fun but also safe for everyone. Here’s your essential checklist for a worry-free event:

Safety Checklist for Jumping Castle Parties

  • Choose a flat, soft surface for setup. Set up the jumping castle on grass or another soft surface to reduce the risk of injury from falls. Avoid hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt.
  • Ensure the jumping castle is properly anchored. Make sure the castle is securely anchored to the ground. SA Jumping Castles handles this during setup, but it’s good to double-check that all stakes or weights are in place.
  • Supervise children at all times. Always have an adult watching the jumping castle. Supervision helps prevent overcrowding and ensures kids are playing safely.
  • Limit the number of children based on the castle’s size. Follow the recommended capacity for your rental. Overcrowding can lead to bumps and bruises. SA Jumping Castles provides guidelines for each castle’s size.
  • Separate kids by age or size. If possible, group younger or smaller children together to avoid accidents with older, more energetic kids.
  • Check the weather forecast. Avoid using the jumping castle in strong winds (over 40 km/h) or rain, as these can make the surface slippery and unsafe. May in South Africa is usually mild, but it’s always smart to be prepared.
  • Remove shoes and sharp objects. Before entering, have kids take off their shoes and leave behind any sharp items like toys or jewelry that could damage the castle or cause injury.
  • Follow the rental company’s safety instructions. SA Jumping Castles provides clear safety guidelines with every rental. Be sure to read and follow them for a smooth, safe event.
