Please read and remember

  • Supervision is required at all times

  • Safe bouncing up and down only

  • No-one is taller than the inside walls of the inflatable are permitted to use it

  • Remember to tie off any second chute (the shortest one) at the rear of the inflatable before inflating units. Open this second chute when deflating. NEVER tie the blower to the short deflation chute, (where there is a deflation chute attached).

  • Always peg down the inflatable. Ensure the inflatable is pegged down securely using all anchor points, and suitable rope. It is essential that pegs be checked throughout the whole of the hire period to ensurethey have not moved and become free during use.

  • Keep a check on the weather if it becomes windy users should be safely removed from the inflatable. Once the wind has dropped the inflatable can be reused, following all safety checks on inflating.

user of our products & inflatables must carry out a risk assessment(or call us immediately). This should identify the hazards associated with use of the inflatable and then implementing suitable and sufficient control measures to minimise risk of injury to persons on or in proximity to the inflatable.

The recognised hazards are:

  • Instability and blowing away in windy conditions;

Situations caused by loss of pressure as a result of;

-failure of the fabric, zips and seams

-failure or loss of power to the blower

-disconnection of the blower

-litter blocking the air intake and/or vents

  • Falls from the structure

  • Tripping (particularly over anchorages)

  • Injuries to users from boisterous behaviour, overcrowding, allowing larger users onto the equipment at the same time as smaller users

  • Access to dangerous parts of the machinery

  • Electrical hazards

  • Inadequate means of escape in a fire

  • Manual handling injuries

  • Injuries to users from inappropriate shoes/clothing/jewellery

  • Suffocation

  • Entrapment

An important rule is that users are not to be taller than the height of the inside wall. The maximum number of persons of a particular size should be included in the operators’ manual. Soft landing mats should be used at the open side. Blowers should be suitably guarded at the inlet and outlet points. The user should not be able to make contact with the blower unit.
