Are bouncy castles safe?

Yes, bouncy castles are safe. However, it is important that they are set up properly and that all guidelines are followed. At Monsterball, we ensure all our equipment is set up safely and securely. Should we require anything for safe set up, such as adequate space, we will advise you beforehand. Children should be supervised at all times by an adult or a staff member of Monsterball.

Are bouncy castles safe in hot weather? / Are bouncy castles safe in heat?

Your safety is our top priority. Our bouncy castles use a continuous flow of air to stay inflated which allows hot air to escape and prevents any risk of explosion. Jumping castles are safe to use in most temperatures but if there is any risk, our staff will notify you. We advise all users wear socks, shorts and t-shirts as the material can get very warm to touch when exposed to harsh sun.

Can bouncy castles be used in the rain?

Some inflatable units can be operated in the rain. However, if Monsterball staff feel that it is unsafe to be operating, they will have to be shut down. If the weather is looking bad 24 hours prior to your event, we give the opportunity to cancel your booking with us.

Do I need insurance to rent out bouncy castles?

Always ensure the bouncy castle hire company you choose is insured. Monsterball holds a $20M Public Liability and we always make sure the equipment is set up and run correctly.
