Bouncy Slide Safety

Feet first and on your bum!

Safety is paramount when using an Inflatable, especially a Bouncy Slide.

Bouncy Slides are extremely popular at Community Events. They seem to have over taken Bouncy Castles in popularity. There is always a queue for the Bouncy Slide!
 

There are many different safety aspects to into consideration when customers are using a Bouncy Slide. 
 

In this article we shall be concentrating how to go down the Bouncy Slide safely.

Once the customer has booked with us, they will receive a confirmation email. At the bottom of the email is a guide how to us the Bouncy Slide correctly .
 

If we set a Bouncy Slide up in a customers back garden, we will go through the way to use it correctly.

Set ups at Community events are done slightly differently. We will be there to supervise the Bouncy Slide and any other inflatable there. There will also be “Safety signs” clearly positioned at the entrance.

The Children will be told how to use the Bouncy Slide, however, sometimes these instructions get forgotten and we need to give them a quick reminder.

“Feet first and on your bum” seems to be one of the quickest and clearest ways to remind the children.

Over the years we have had children go head first down the Bouncy Slide and on their front.

With the children going head first, it raises the chances of an injury occurring.

The 10ft Platform Slide we use is steep and there is a curve at the bottom.

If the child goes down the Bouncy Slide head first and on their front, there is a greater chance of a neck injury, similar to a whiplash injury. 
 

Thankfully we haven’t had any injuries on the Bouncy Slide because of the way they go down it.

We all carry whistles with us at all times. The whistle is a great way to get everyone’s immediate attention. Once it has been blown you’ll notice that everyone stops and we I’ll be able to instruct the person how to use the inflatable correctly. More often than not, the child’s responsible adult will be watching them, and they will tell the child what to do. The child is often more responsive to their parent / responsible adult.
