Each operator should read and understand the following instructions.

  1. The operator must remain in control of the ride at all times.
  2. The inflatableshould not be operated if wind exceeds 25 m.p.h. or in rain or lightning conditions.
  3. All participants must remove their shoes.
  4. Only participants of the same size should be allowed in the inflatable at the same time.
  5. Participants must remove loose or sharp objects including glasses and dangling jewelry.

  11. No roughhousing or horseplay should be tolerated. No climbing on the nets is allowed. Anyone who does not obey the rules after being warned should be asked to exit the inflatable (operators should to be made to understand that they are in control of the inflatable and removing someone from it who is not following rules is important for all riders' safety).
Emergency Procedures
Emergencies can arise for various reasons. The following are a few examples of emergencies and how they can be handled. This is strictly a guide…please use common sense when an emergency occurs.

Weather
Bad weather can arrive in the form of rain, lightning or strong wind. In each case you want to evacuate the ride as quickly and safely as possible.

  1. Remain Calm! If you panic your riders may also panic. Stay calm and focused on your job, which is to help your riders exit the ride quickly, but in an orderly fashion.
  2. After everyone has exited the ride, deflate the ride by turning off the blowers or fans.
  3. Bounces should be folded over once so that the interior is protected from the weather.
  4. Please take the blower indoors or cover it with the tarp.
 Loss of Electrical Power
When a loss of power occurs the ride will slowly start to deflate.
  1. Remain Calm! You will have ample time to help your patrons quickly and safely exit the inflatable. This situation tends to cause panic…unless the operator stays calm and relaxed. Talk calmly to those inside the unit telling them not to panic while you're helping them walk out.
  2. Check to see if the blowers have come unplugged or the cords are unplugged from the outlet. If so, plug them back in and the ride will re-inflate.
  3. Contact or have someone contact Bounce A-Way at (614) 837-0201. Do not leave the ride unattended.
Damage
If the inflatable becomes damaged while in your operation, take the following steps:

  1. If the inflatable is ripped or otherwise begins to lose air, assist all riders from the ride and deflate it.
  2. Write down what happened, when, and any other details you observed and turn this report in to the Responsible Party.
  3. Contact Bounce A-Way immediately. Do not attempt to continue to operate the ride.
