Safety
Watchdog Siren
Safety is our number one concern so we provide the Watchdog Siren at no cost with every bounce house rented out. You can read more information about these Watchdog Siren below.
THE STANDARD FOR INFLATABLE SAFETY!
The WATCHDOG™ Blower-Siren (Series 2)helps prevent suffocation, dangerous falls and other common accidents caused by the sudden deflation of inflatable bounce houses.
SUDDEN DEFLATION EVENTS ARE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF AVOIDABLE INJURIES.
Inflatable bounce houses and castles require a continuously operating blower fan to keep them inflated. What happens when that blower fan stops inflating?
When an inflatable begins to deflate, it immediately loses structural integrity. This can cause children to fall out of the inflatable, often from heights high enough to injure. Worse, those still in the inflatable can become trapped underneath the heavy vinyl.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The WATCHDOG™ Blower-Siren (Series 2) uses a patented smart chip that continuously monitors the electrical current flowing to the blower. If something changes, the WATCHDOG™ knows — and it sounds the alarm!
The WATCHDOG™ (Series 2) can alert you to these common problems:
⦁ Blower inadvertently turned off (child mischief)
⦁ Circuit breaker failure or generator failure
⦁ Cords unplugged
⦁ Sudden deflation (zipper opened or tear)
⦁ Detached blower tube
⦁ Blower intake blocked
18" Ground stakes
We use 5/8" x 18” heavy duty stakes to hold down the bounce houses.
50# sandbags
50 lb heavy duty vinyl sandbags are used indoors and on pavement where ground stakes are not an option.
Simple Green D pro 5
After setting up each bounce house and completing the inspection, we spray down the units with this disinfectant and let it sit. Ready to use in 10 minutes with no rinsing necessary.

Emergency Procedures:
Emergencies can arise for various reasons. The following are a few examples of emergencies and how they should be handled. This is strictly a guide. Please use common sense when emergencies occur.
Weather: Bad weather can arrive in the form of rain, lightening or strong winds. In each case you must evacuate the ride immediately. Remain calm. If you panic, riders will also panic. Stay calm and assist riders in exiting the inflatable quickly but in an orderly fashion. Once the riders have exited the ride, deflate the unit by turning off the blower motor.
Loss of Electricity: When the loss of power occurs, the ride will slowly deflate. Remain calm!! You will have time to help the riders exit the ride safely. This situation tends to cause panic so please remain as calm as possible. Calmly instruct the riders to exit. If the riders are unable to exist the unit from the main entrance, open the hatches on the roof of the unit and assist the riders in crawling out.
Check to see if the blower has become unplugged. If it has become unplugged, plug the unit back in.
If the ride is ripped or looses air, assist the riders and deflate the unit.
