Is the bouncy castle supplier reputable?

Most bouncy castle companies conform to satisfactory safety standards, but making sure the bouncy castle you are going to hire has a PIPA (Inspection of Inflatable Play Equipment) certificate will help ensure your safety.
Ask if the bouncy castle supplier has adequate liability insurance. If it doesn't, look elsewhere.
Don't forget if the operator isn't present whilst the equipment is in use, you are liable, make sure you have the correct insurance cover.

Put someone in charge

The walls of the bouncy castle should be tall enough to prevent people climbing up and falling out. If you've booked a children's bouncy castle then keep teenagers and adults off, however tempting a bounce may seem to them!
Every bouncy castle has a load limit—the maximum number of people who can safely play on it at once. It's important someone is responsible for finding out from the supplier what this limit is and making sure it's adhered to.
