Where’s the Best Place to Have the Bounce House Set Up?

Bounce houses create hours of fun and provide healthy exercise for children, provided the
inflatable is set up appropriately. There are certain rules for establishing a bounce house to
ensure the safety of those using it and to protect the integrity of the inflatable.
The Surface
A bounce house should only be set up on a flat, even surface. It should be free of sticks, stones,
rocks, and branches. The inflatable should also be set up away from irrigation sprinkler heads.
Aside from the danger of puncturing the bounce house, adults need to remember that children
exiting the bounce house may be wobbly and fall.
Weather Concerns
The weather can change rapidly in South Florida. Bounce houses should never be used when it’s
raining or a storm is on the horizon. Wind is another critical factor. Don’t use a bounce house if
the wind is strong enough to blow dust and/or small gravel around.
Other Hazards
Overhead branches are a definite danger and a bounce house should never be erected under
low hanging branches. It should be kept far from overhead utility lines, fences, sheds and other
types of hazards such as trampolines, swings and outdoor furniture on all sides.
Adult Supervision
It’s imperative that adult supervision is present at all times. It will be the responsibility of that
adult to ensure no more than 3 or 4 users are in the inflatable at one time. Youngsters should
all be of a similar build to mitigate the ripple effect that comes with jumping. Users should also
be similar in age – never mix young children with their older counterparts to maintain safety.
The adult will also be charged with having youngsters remove jewelry, glasses and empty their
pockets of any objects that could potentially puncture the bounce house. Users must remove
their shoes before entering and wear socks while in the inflatable.

South Florida Bounce…One Stop Resource for Fun

Planning any kind of gathering presents a variety of difficulties that can be remedied with a call
to a local company that rents inflatables. The businesses are an excellent one stop resource for
everything from bounce houses, water slides and fun food machines to tents, tables and chairs.
The companies offer affordable pricing and provide an ideal way to ensure everyone has food,
entertainment and seating for any event.

Entertainments
Inflatables run the gamut from the ever-popular water slide to bounce houses for younger
guests. Attendees can indulge in interactive sports and sci-fi experiences to bull riding and an
impromptu dance party for teens. Individuals can play life-size board games, try their hand at
an obstacle course or engage in a sumo wrestling challenge.

Games
Inflatable rental companies also have a variety of carnival-type games. Hosts can choose from
balloon pop, basketball throw and tic-tac-toe to ring toss, whack-a-mole and skee ball. Booths
are available to create a fun atmosphere. Inflatable rentals are equally appropriate for a
backyard party, corporate event, or a church or school fundraiser.

Food
It’s not truly a party without food – guests burn a lot of energy playing games. Fun food
machines can be rented that are easy, convenient and keep guests fed. They include hotdog
broilers and bun warmers, along with those to make popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy and to
dispense pucker powder candy.

Amenities
One of the most overlooked details is providing sufficient amenities for guests that includes
tables and chairs where people can eat, rest and converse. Inflatable rentals offer adult and
child-size chairs, traditional rectangular and circular tables, along with cocktail tables.
Tents are another overlooked item when planning a gathering. The South Florida heat and
humidity can be overwhelming, particularly if guests are moving around playing games and
having fun. Tent rentals are available, providing an essential place for adults and children to
savor some shade while resting and rehydrating.

Interactive Bounce Houses

The term interactive bounce house is somewhat of a misnomer – the entertainments are far
more than simple bounce houses typically associated with children. The amusements are
considered inflatables and the following are just some of the available options available for
private parties, corporate events, schools and fundraisers.

Obstacle Course
Inflatable obstacle courses offer a myriad of challenges. Individuals can choose options that
include rope and rock climbing challenges, along with warrior and military obstacle courses Fun
house and corn mazes, ninja walls and extreme challenges are available for competitive people
of all ages.

Warp Speed Arena
The group activity is great for teen and adult party-goers and offers a unique corporate team-
building experience. The interactive inflatable can be played 1-on-1 or 2 teams of 2 players. It
challenges coordination, strength, endurance and hand-eye coordination.

Mechanical Bull
Popularized in 1980 thanks to the movie Urban Cowboy, mechanical bulls remain popular and
few can resist trying to outride friends.

Velcro Climbing Wall
Fun for all ages, it doesn’t matter if someone takes a tumble – they land on a soft, inflatable
surface that gently breaks their fall.

Human Wrecking Ball
A 4-person experience, players stand on an inflatable pad while dodging the “wrecking ball”
swung by an opponent. It’s especially popular for high school, college and corporate events,
along with large private parties.

Sports Challenge
The inflatable is a 3-in-1 sports lovers dream, combining soccer, basketball and football under a
single roof. It can be used by 3 people at a time.

Games on the Go
The specially designed and equipped arcade on wheels features over 300 of the most popular
video game titles to play.

Wipe Out
Similar to the popular game show, individuals climb their ladder and try to get from one side of
the platform to the other using the large inflatable balls. The soft ball pit underneath catches
anyone that falls.

Waterslides
One of the most popular and frequently requested interactive is a waterslide. Models are
available in multiple heights, including exciting options that stand 40 ft. tall for a wild and
exhilarating ride. Waterslides are offered in single and multi-lane options. Water-based
entertainments are also offered for small children and toddlers.

Are Bounce Houses Safter Than Trampolines?

Parents are often in a quandary when planning entertainment for a children’s party. They want
youngsters to enjoy themselves while staying safe. Two of the most popular and frequently
requested amusements are a bounce house and trampoline. The next question becomes are
they safe and every parent must make their own decision.

Bounce House
Generally speaking, a bounce house is considered safer. A bounce house is supported entirely
by pressurized air and sets on the ground. Bounce houses are appropriate for youngsters age 6
to 12. Children younger than that don’t have the coordination or motor skills to keep
themselves upright.

The most common injuries reported from bounce house usage are fractures and muscle strains
to the arms, but primarily the legs. Head and neck injuries were next in prevalence. Boys were
more likely to be injured in a bounce house than girls, 53.9 percent compared to 46.1.
Over a 4-year period, more than 82,700 children were injured in a bounce house There have
also been about 30 bounce house-related deaths when a device was blown about by high winds
or was improperly anchored.

Trampoline
In comparison, a trampoline is supported by a metal frame and the jumping surface is elevated
above the ground. Children can be thrown off a trampoline onto the ground, into shrubbery, or
into nearby structures. A specially designed net or cage for a trampoline should always enclose
the equipment to prevent children from being throw off.

Children age 6 and under shouldn’t use a trampoline due to their lack of motor skills. Injuries
are due to colliding with another person, landing improperly, performing stunts, jumping or
falling off a trampoline, and falling on the device’s springs or framework.

Statistics show that the most often reported injuries were fractures – approximately 25.8
percent. Muscle strains came in second at 25.7 percent, and contusions accounted for 14.5
percent of injuries. An estimated 100,000 people are injured on trampolines each year, with
500 of those resulting in permanent neurological damage.

What Age is Good for Bounce Houses

The short answer is that bounce houses are appropriate for ages 6 to 12 for safe and supervised
playtime. No child under the age of 6 should be allowed to play in a bounce house unsupervised. They don’t
have the coordination or motor skills to remain upright or right themselves when they fall.
Bounce houses transfer motion easily and that can knock small children off their feet.

Supervision
There are some important factors to consider for anyone thinking of purchasing a consumer
bounce house or renting an inflatable for a child’s party. The amusements aren’t something
that can be set up and left alone while children play. A responsible adult will need to be in
attendance to supervise anytime a child is using the inflatable. The potential for an injury
always exists.

Set Up
Equally important is the location where the entertainment will be located. The place where the
bounce house sets will need to be away from utility lines, fences and structures to prevent
injuries to children. To ensure the integrity of the bounce house is maintained, the location
must be free of rocks, sticks, sprinkler heads, fences, structures, and overhanging branches.
Never use a bounce house outdoors in storms or winds strong enough to blow dust and dirt
around.

Affordable Entertainment
A bounce house provides affordable entertainment for children ages 6 to 12 that won’t break
the bank. They’re a great way for youngsters to play and get beneficial exercise for strong
bones and muscles.

How to Make a Slip and Slide Slippery the Safe Way

A slip and slide is an easy way to keep children amused for hours. The entertainment can be
made at home with tarps or heavy plastic. The biggest problem will be ensuring that the surface
is slippery enough – water alone seldom works efficiently.
The key to any entertainment is ensuring safety. Be sure to set it up away from utility lines,
fences, structures, sprinkler heads and other items that can cause an injury if children slide into
them.
Plastic
A successful slip and slide begins with choosing the best plastic for the task. Visqueen is a good
choice as it’s highly durable. Select plastic that’s at least 6 mil.
Water Flow
Water is a critical element in a slip and slide and must flow from the top to the bottom. The
device must have a steady stream of liquid available at all times to avoid dry areas that can
result in friction burns. It can be helpful to place holes in an old hose and place it at points along
the way to ensure saturation of the plastic. There should be good drainage to avoid turning a
pristine lawn into a mud pit.
Extra Lubrication
A bottle of tearless baby shampoo will work wonders for ensuring a lubricated surface. Many
people use dishwashing liquid, but it’s never a good idea. The soap will get in youngsters’ eyes,
resulting in irritation and pain.
Some have found that rubbing household wax paper over the plastic makes for a slippery
surface. Other alternatives include olive oil, baby oil or vegetable oil. Just remember that oils
are difficult to remove from the skin without a shower. Try to locate an environmentally-
friendly lubricant.
Other Considerations
A responsible adult should always be available to ensure the safety of users. Don’t let another
slider take their turn until the person before them has cleared the plastic. Unsupervised slip and
slides can result in serious injuries if basic, common sense safety precautions aren’t observed.

Here is Your Backyard Party Checklist to Compliment Your Bounce House Rental

A backyard bounce house rental is an excellent idea for any party where children ages 6 to 12
will be in attendance. There are some things that you’ll need to do to ensure a successful party.
Placement
You’ll need to ensure you have a clear and open space sufficient for the size of the bounce
house. You’ll also require an open and easily accessible path to where the inflatable will be set
up when it’s delivered. The bounce house must be established away from any utility lines,
fences, buildings or other potential hazards.
The location where the inflatable will be set up must be smooth and free of rocks, sticks,
sprinkler heads and other items that could damage it. You’ll also need a nearby source of
electricity to power the generator that will keep the bounce house inflated. The optimal
distance from a power source is 25 ft. or less.
Responsible Monitor
A responsible adult to monitor the bounce house is critical. No child under the age of 6 should
be allowed in a bounce house. The monitor will need to have children remove their shoes,
along with any objects that could possibly puncture the inflatable.
Food is never allowed in a bounce house. The monitoring adult will also be responsible for not
letting too many children in the bounce house at one time and ensuring that those in the
bounce house are of a similar size and weight.
Refreshments
Children burn a lot of energy in a bounce house. They’ll need food, along with beverages to
remain sufficiently hydrated. There are machines that can be rented to warm hotdogs and
buns, and to provide snow cones, popcorn and cotton candy. While soda is popular with
youngsters, water is better for hydration in the South Florida climate. Consider fruit flavored
water for a refreshing, tasty and healthy beverage.

Can I Put My Bounce House on Grass, Cement or Gravel

Bounce houses are one of the most popular inflatable rentals for children ages 6 to 12. If you’re
considering renting one of the amusements, there are some things to keep in mind, especially
placement.
Surface
Grass is the preferred surface for a bounce house, but the entertainments can also be set up on
cement or concrete – providing the surface is smooth. The inflatables can be placed on smooth
gravel, but it’s not a good idea in terms of child safety.
Even asphalt is acceptable, providing it’s in the shade. Asphalt can reach temperatures of 125°
F. on a 75-degree day, posing a danger to children and the inflatable. Bounce houses should
never be placed near water or on a slope.
Obstacles
Safety should lead the way when setting up a bounce house. Make sure the ground where the
bounce house will set is free of sticks, rocks and other sharp objects such as sprinkler heads.
Never place a bounce house near power lines or other utilities, fences, structures, or low
hanging branches.
Keep in mind that children often stumble when they exit a bounce house and can fall. There
should be ample space on all sides of the bounce house that’s clear of any objects that
youngsters may potentially fall on.
Bounce House Supervision
Your bounce house rental will provide hours of fun for youngsters, but children should never be
left alone in the amusement. You’re going to need a responsible adult to supervise usage for
safety. Only children age 6 to 12 should be allowed in a bounce house. Youngsters under the
age of 6 don’t have the coordination, strength or balance to right themselves if they fall.
The adult will also need to ensure that children remove their shoes, jewelry and glasses before
entering and don’t have any sharp objects in their pockets that could puncture the bounce
house. Take care to limit the number of children using it at one time and ensure that
youngsters of the same height, weight and build use the device at the same time. The ripples
created by jumping can knock smaller children off their feet and lead to injury.

Trending Waterslide Rentals

Waterslides are the preferred rentals for two reasons – they’re fun and they’re great stress relievers. People playing on a waterslide release adrenaline and endorphins that make them feel good. Waterslides are offered in single, double and even triple lane styles, allowing individuals to race and compete against each other.

They appeal to people of all ages, are full of color, and available in multiple themes. Waterslides evoke a variety of emotions and enable adults to return to a time of carefree childlike make believe. Waterslides create their own kind of magic. The following are the trending waterslide rentals from which to choose.

North Shore Water Slide

One of the big attractions of the water slide is that it towers over the landscape at an amazing 42 ft. tall. It features 2 lanes for those that want to compete against one another. The exhilarating slide down to the bottom culminates in a long, flat slide for a successful slow-down.

Black Pearl

While somewhat shorter at 32 ft. in height, the huge 2-lane water slide is a pirate’s dream come true. Equipped with all the symbols of sailing the high seas, the pirate-themed water slide appeals to people on multiple levels.

Best Places to See the Fall Foliage

When Mother Nature changes her colors to autumn splendor, people race to experience the reds, yellows, and oranges of fall. Many people don’t think of Florida as a hotspot of autumn color, but there are definitely locations where individuals can go to view fall foliage.

Florida’s changing colors can arrive as late as November due to the warmer climate. The Sunshine State displays her colors when other states are past their peak. It’s possible to discover pockets of spectacular fall foliage by taking a drive along rural roads.

Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park

Revel in the fall foliage that surrounds the sapphire waters of one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world. The lake is home to alligators, manatees, and a diverse abundance of wildlife. Colors can be viewed from a diving platform or by riverboat.

Falling Waters State Park

Visitors can view the highest waterfall in Florida – that’s actually a sinkhole – framed by the vivid colors of autumn. There’s an access path and viewing platform.

Morningside Nature Center

In addition to autumn colors, there’s a multitude of fall-blooming wildflowers to view.

Three Rivers State Park

Maples are well known for their intense fall colors. Pockets of brilliantly colored maples and oaks clothed in red, yellow and orange are a stunning contrast to the pines that grow among them. Viewing can be done by hiking trail or by cruising the lake.

Torreya State Park

The park is a favorite for fall colors and features maples, sourwood, and sweetgum. Taking the Weeping Ridge Trail, visitors can view the foliage and the park’s waterfall. The park is also home to rare trees.

Wekiwa Springs State Park

Visitors will be treated to the brilliant oranges and yellows of the cypress, maple, sweetgum, sugarberry, and persimmon trees. They grow amongst palm trees for an interesting contrast.
