Are Inflatable Bounce Houses Safe? Part 2
October 23, 2014
The final inspection step is to make sure the inflatable safety signs are secure and legible and the unit is clean. Every inflatable unit manufactured in the USA is required to have a safety sign on it with instructions and a manufactured date. If you get delivered to your event an inflatable without a safety sign, beware of the safety of the unit. Over the years, we have acquired many small inflatable companies. Some of these companies had units without safety signs and manufacturer information. Almost all were purchased from China manufacturers and were not made for commercial use. We found the stitching and…

The safety of an inflatable bounce house depends on many factors which we will discuss throughout this article. But first you may be asking “is this person qualified to write this article and are they an expert on this topic?” Well, I would say an expert would be someone who works for the insurance industry and investigates how and why accidents occur on inflatables. I am not an expert. However, I have owned an entertainment and party rental company for 12…

"I’ve worked with The Fun Ones for the past four years in organizing our block party. The staff is absolutely terrific and accommodating. There is no other place to go but The Fun Ones!"

"Great staff, organized, good pre and post event communication. The gentleman and his son who set up were friendly, thorough, and did a great job."
DonLevy Laboratories – Kristy H.
Ordering was a breeze, clerical follow up on the order was fantastic. The set up crew arrived with ample time for set up, dressed professionally and were extremely accommodating to our guests. We did not feel rushed to end the function, they offered to stay longer if we needed them. Even at the established quit time the crew was just as friendly and courteous as they were when they first arrived. I would highly recommend The Fun Ones.
Tribune Company – Courtney G.
Everyone involved in getting our event set up was extremely helpful, reliable and made it very easy for everything to come together perfectly. Thanks!
Lombard Town Centre – Jamie K.
Everything was great - service was fantastic and the moon jump was loved by the kids! We were very pleased!!!
Huerta Graduation Party – Michelle H.
The inflatable obstacle course was awesome. My kids said that they had the best graduation party around. The guys setting up were great and extremely friendly and helpful. I have already referred you to other people who were at the party and if I have a party like this again I will definitely call.
UAA Insurance – Agnes
In The Fun Ones there are the most friendly people I have ever met! I can truly recommend them to work with on your next event. They are very helpful, very friendly and always will give a good advice if you need one.
South East Oak Park Community – Jim K.
We forgot to mention that no stakes could be used in the park to secure the inflatables. We called Fun Ones and they arranged for the attendants to bring sand bags instead. That's good service!
Jane F.
Your set up crew is professional, kind and courteous. I appreciate the continuity of your
staff as this makes it easier for event set up.
