Safety Begins and Ends With You

We are also the S.I.O.T.O. (Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization) approved operator in the state of Montana.
We are committed to the safety of you and your guests.


Rules

Inflatable rules

When riders are in the inflatable, there should be NO flips, wrestling, running, pushing, climbing on the net walls or any other aggressive behavior that could injure other children. Do not let riders bounce against the sides or entrance. It is best if children do not sit or lay down while other children are bouncing around them.

Do the inflatables require supervision?

A responsible ADULT will and must supervise the inflatable ride at all times.

What can you not wear in the inflatable?

All riders must remove shoes, jewelry, eyeglasses, combs, pens, hair clips or any other sharp or hard objects that may cause injury to other children or the inflatable prior to entering the inflatable.

Can we have food or drink in the inflatable?

Absolutely NO food, drink, gum, pets or Silly String inside or near the inflatable.

Can kids of different ages / sizes bounce together?

Only children of compatible age and size should be in the unit at the same time. Mixing children of different sizes will greatly increase the risk of injury.

What kind of weather will you not set up in?

STOP the children from bouncing and have them exit the inflatable if winds exceed 20 MPH or if there is lightning, or if any other condition exists which may cause an unsafe or questionable condition. Once all children have exited, blower will be turned off and unplugged.

What surfaces can you setup inflatables on?

We prefer to setup on grass. We can setup on pavement/asphalt but will need it to be free of rocks and debris. We will need to know ahead of time to make sure we bring the correct supplies to setup. We will not setup on gravel/rocks at any time.
