At Rinie’s Jumping Castles, safety is our top priority. While our inflatables are designed to bring endless fun, they must be used responsibly to prevent accidents or injuries. Whether you’re hiring a castle for a birthday party or starting a rental business, these essential safety rules help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
📌 Proper Setup: Anchor It Right
Always ensure the inflatable is securely anchored using all anchorage points provided. This includes checking:
- Anchor pegs and ropes for tightness and stability
- Safety mats are placed at all entry/exit points
- Blower is functioning properly and free from obstructions
Regularly inspect these throughout the day to make sure nothing has become dislodged or moved.
🏡 Location Matters
Choose a flat, open space, clear of:
- Sticks, rocks, sharp objects
- Fire hazards (including braais)
- Buildings, low roofs, or overhanging tree branches
Never set up under trees, and always keep the inflatable away from water sources. No smoking should be allowed near or on the inflatable.
👧👦 Supervision & Safe Play
Jumping castles are only as safe as the supervision they receive. Follow these essential tips:
- Children must be supervised by an adult (18+) at all times
- Supervision requires close physical presence — not from a distance
- If children are bumping into each other, the inflatable is overcrowded
- Separate children by age and size to prevent injury
- No food, drinks, sweets, or sharp objects allowed on the inflatable
- No climbing on walls, jumping at the entrance, or rough play (e.g., flips, somersaults, tackling)
🚫 Who Shouldn’t Use the Castle?
Certain individuals should avoid using inflatables altogether, including:
- Infants and toddlers
- Pregnant women
- Anyone with head, neck, back, or musculoskeletal injuries
- Individuals under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or strong medication
⚡ Electrical Safety
Electricity must be handled with care:
- Use a power source with a working trip switch or earth leakage protection
- Keep all power cords insulated and away from children
- Never place the blower on wet grass or near water
- In case of rain, strong winds, or bad weather, immediately remove children and switch off the blower
- If the blower loses power unexpectedly, remain calm and help children exit slowly and safely
📝 Responsibility & Liability
Once our inflatables leave our premises, they become the full responsibility of the hirer. Proper use, setup, and supervision fall under your care.
