Too Much Bouncy Castle Fun?
Yes, Bouncy Castles are toys. Big, bouncy, inflatable toys that bring hours of enjoyment to children. Bouncy Castles are hired for birthday parties and other celebrations. They can be set up outdoors in gardens, parks, streets, or they can be inflated inside throughout the year, rain or shine. Even though these inflatables are fun toys for kids, rules should be established and communicated to the young people who play in them. As well, the amount of time children are allowed to spend in them should be monitored.
Some things that increase the risk of injury inside a Bouncy Castle hire include the following:
Overcrowding — Allowing too many children into the inflatable at one time can lead to injuries. While falling down is a part of the bounce experience, too many kids in the bouncy castle at one time makes it harder for them to maintain balance. The number of children allowed in the inflatable should be restricted to the number recommended by the particular product instructions.
Too Much Time — Kids get tired, even if they won’t admit it. Fatigued children are at an increased risk of injury. The amount of time children are allowed to use the bouncy castle should be limited to a set period.
Unsupervised Play — Allowing children to play in inflatables without supervision can lead to problems. Incorrect use of the Bouncy Castle can lead to sprains and broken bones, as well as bumps and bruises. Adult supervision is always required.
Bad Weather — Bouncy Castles and other inflatable hires should never be used when there is the risk of storms. Lightning or high winds make these toys extremely dangerous.
Keep Your Castle Clean — Children should only be allowed inside the inflatable with clean fingers, hands and faces. No food or beverages should ever be allowed in any inflatable. Keeping bouncy toys clean reduces the risk of slips and collisions that may result in injury.
