🛡️Safety First: How to Keep Kids Safe with Rinie’s Jumping Castles

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.
