Bounce Safer with #BounceSafe – Bouncy Castle Safety

At AW Inflatables, we’re all about fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories—but most importantly, we’re about safety. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the #BounceSafe campaign, a nationwide initiative designed to keep bouncy castle hire in Weston-Super-Mare, Bristol, Bath, Bridgwater, and beyond as safe as possible for everyone.

A bouncy castle is a highlight of any party—whether it’s a birthday bash, school event, wedding, or corporate fun day. But just like any activity, a little preparation and supervision go a long way in keeping the fun risk-free.


What Is #BounceSafe About?

The #BounceSafe campaign is here to help you enjoy bouncy castles responsibly by providing expert-backed safety tips. Don’t worry—we’re not here to dampen the fun! It’s all about making a few small changes that can have a big impact on the safety of your event.

With just a little guidance, you can make sure that everyone bounces with confidence while avoiding unnecessary risks.


Is Bouncy Castle Hire Safe?

Absolutely! A well-maintained and properly supervised bouncy castle is one of the safest ways for kids (and adults!) to have a blast.

At AW Inflatables, we take safety seriously, which is why:
✔️ All our inflatables are cleaned, inspected, and safety-certified after every hire.
✔️ Our bouncy castles feature high, padded walls and soft landings, making them safe for jumping.
✔️ We use top-quality anchoring and safety mats, so your inflatable stays secure and stable.
✔️ Our team is fully trained, ensuring everything is set up correctly and safely.
✔️ We are fully insured, with £10 million public liability insurance for peace of mind.

When used correctly, a bouncy castle is one of the safest and most exciting attractions at any event!


So, What’s the Problem?

While our bouncy castles are designed for maximum fun and safety, accidents can happen when basic safety rules aren’t followed.

Common mistakes include:
⚠️ Children climbing on the walls instead of bouncing.
⚠️ Too many people bouncing at once, causing collisions.
⚠️ Older children roughhousing with younger ones.
⚠️ Kids attempting flips, jumps, or diving off the inflatable.
⚠️ Using the castle in unsafe weather conditions (strong winds or heavy rain).

Luckily, these risks can be easily avoided with proper supervision and a few simple guidelines!


Bouncy Castle Safety Tips – Stay #BounceSafe!

Here’s how you can keep the fun going safely:

Always supervise – An adult should always be watching to make sure everyone plays safely.
Match age groups – Let younger children bounce separately from bigger kids to prevent accidents.
No shoes, no sharp objects – Shoes, glasses, and anything sharp should stay off the inflatable.
Limit the number of bouncers – Stick to the recommended capacity to prevent overcrowding.
No climbing or somersaults – These actions can lead to falls and injuries.
Weather watch – If winds exceed 24mph, it’s too dangerous to use a bouncy castle.
Dry it properly after rain – A wet inflatable can become very slippery.


Industry-Backed Safety Standards

The #BounceSafe campaign is supported by leading industry safety bodies, including:
🔹 Register of Play Inspectors International (RPII) – The official body for play equipment safety.
🔹 PIPA – The UK’s leading inflatable safety inspection scheme.

These organizations set the gold standard for bouncy castle safety, ensuring all reputable hire companies follow strict guidelines.

At AW Inflatables, we proudly meet and exceed these standards—so you can hire with total confidence!
