Thanks, I will talk to them about stakes &amp; look up state requirements. I worked at a school where one collapsed with the kids inside, so I get really anxious about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bounce-house-rental-safety#post-1749226 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 08:53:50 +0000 stargal 1749226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure its properly staked down, is the biggest issue and why we see bounce house rentals stories in the news BC comoanies are not properly staking them into the ground and they are flying away....most states have strict guidelines. Here in pa we have the toughest laws when it comes to bounce house inflatables. Down south its more lenient.<br /> And yes, they have to carry insurance for them. All bouncers have to be manufacturally approved and bought directly and are routinely monitored through the state. </p> <p>I would ask about their safety precautions and their rules </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bounce-house-rental-safety#post-1749134 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 08:23:38 +0000 mrs. bird 1749134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with all the bounce house issues you hear about now, how do you make sure you're renting a safe one? i'm terrified of them to begin with, but it's gotten worse this year. </p> <p>if you were going to rent one, or have rented one, what questions do you ask or where do you look at safety records for the companies? i'm guessing you ask about how old the rental is and if they carry ins (they would have to carry ins, right??), what else? </p>
