Extra Dollars for Extra Security


So you're planning an event and you have many options for vendors. You're shopping around and notice the same item in two different locations, with two different prices. You wonder why the same item is listed at different prices: One vendor is giving you a 50% discount, another vendor will deliver for free and a different vendor will even let you keep it over night for no extra charge. With all the different options and different vendors, and different prices, who do you choose so you know you have peace of mind if anything is to go wrong? 

Picking the perfect party package is only half the job. When you are price shopping and looking for the best deal you can find, keep your eyes out for the fine prints each company has. When hosting a party and/or event, you become the person responsible for all the guests at the party. Make sure the company you are renting from is fully insured and can provide you with an insurance certificate which will protect you if anything happens. Even though we all plan (and some of us overplan) to prevent injuries, sometime accidents happen and kids may get hurt. 

If and when a child gets hurt, it becomes your responsibility as the host, to take care of the injured person. An insurance certificate provided by your vendor covers you if an accident occurs during your event.  Make sure that the vendor you are renting from is fully insured and is able to put your name, or the location of the event, as a certificate holder. If your name is on the insurance certificate as the "certificate holder", you are fully insured for the duration of time that is listed on the insurance. When the company provides you with an insurance certificate, it is your responsibility to make sure that all the information on the certificate is correct. 

One question that gets asked a lot is "Is the permit I got from the city and the insurance certificate the same thing?"

Actually, no. The permit that is given to you from the city (usually for city park rentals or even a block party) is a written document from the city that gives you permission to host your event at the park. A permit is usually needed if you are having vendors at your event: especially for an inflatable. If you have an inflatable (or any other vendor) at your event, and do not have a permit, the city rangers may come and have you shut off the inflatable and will be unable to use it.
The insurance certificate you get from your vendors covers you for the duration of your event which  covers for any injuries that may happen. If your vendor does not supply you with an insurance certificate, and an injury happens, you are held responsible for any expenses that need to be covered for the injured person. 


Following Inflatable Safety Rules

Safety Rules for Bounce House Rentals 
Children follow safety rules at schools and parks to make sure no accidents happen to them. It is the same with any bounce house or inflatable rental.  One of the best ways to make sure your children and guests are safe during an event with an inflatable is to have a Magic Jump Rentals certified attendant at your event. Magic Jump Rentals Attendants know each inflatable like the back of their hand and are able to operate any inflatable  They know all the safety rules to heart and will make sure your children are safe during your event. Following the safety rules that are posted on the inflatables are the best ways to stay safe. Here are a few of the rules to keep in mind; These are also posed on each of the inflatables provided by Magic Jump Rentals.

If you are injured, pregnant, or think you're pregnant, do not go on the inflatables. This is the easiest way to stay safe while there is an inflatable on site.

If there are small children in a bounce house, do not let adults and/or older kids in the bouncer at the same time. With kids bouncing, it is very likely they do not understand air-awareness and will not be able to control their bodies in the air.  It is NOT safe to have a "Big kids vs. Small Kids" race in the bouncer.

Do not let children play near the entrances and exits of the bouncers. The children will fall out and land on the hard ground. Do not climb on the sides of the inflatables. All inflatable slides have climbers in it which will lead you to the top of the slide.


If your inflatable a slide, make sure you follow the correct guide lines for sliding. For an inflatable slide, riders should slide down feet first and cross their hands to their shoulders for safest way. There should be no more than one (1) rider at a time.

If your inflatable is a Slip 'n' Slide, riders should slide head first and by having their arms by their ears. They should keep their feet together and make sure their elbows are straight. There should only be one rider at a time.
The following items are prohibited from inflatables since they will damage the vinyl and be harmful to the other children in the bouncer: Glasses, cell phones, watches, earrings (any jewelry), forks, knives, or any sharp objects. Gum and silly string is not allowed in the bouncer along with shoes. The safest way to enjoy the bouncer is by entering the bouncer with socks and no sharp objects.

If you feel the inflatable is damaged, or is deflating on its own, exit the inflatable immediately to ensure every child is safe. If you notice the weather conditions are very windy and the inflatable is unstable, have the children exit the bouncer immediately.

Do not tumble, flip, chase, wrestle or dog-pile while in the bouncer. Because the inflatable is designed to move up and down as a child is bouncing, the injury risk rises when activities like these take place.


As every parent tries their best to make sure their children are having fun and are being safe at the same time, following these rules and having a certified Magic Jump Rentals Attendant on duty while an inflatable is rented out, your children will be safe and having the time of their lives.
