Do not set up your Inflatable by

• Bodies of water
• Under power lines
• Under low-hanging tree branches
• Touching buildings, ceilings or other objects

The last thumbnail image displays a General Safety Video -- Please Watch! This shows a perfect example of an out-of-control Inflatable experience.

1. A rider sliding down, head first

2. More than one person going up the stairs

3. A rider slipping on stairs and wiping out other players

4. Crowded splash pool area

5. A person tossing a small ball onto the slide

GENERAL OPERATION:

1. No Flips, No Shoes, No Sharp Objects, No Food, No Drinks, No Gum, No Confetti and No Silly String allowed in the inflatable equipment. Silly String will permanently damage equipment.

2. Unit must be shut down and covered up during heavy rains and winds that exceed 15 miles per hour. No operating equipment in rain, lightning conditions or winds stronger than 15 miles per hour.

3. ”Section 1711.551 of the Revised Code requires that riders must obey all warnings and directions regarding this ride and behave in a manner that will not cause or contribute to injury to themselves or others. Failure to comply is a misdemeanor." O.R.C. 901:9-1-07

4. State law requires an attendant at all times while this ride operates. By contract, AFE requires that attendant to be age 18 or older.

5. No pets are allowed in or around the ride. There will be a cleaning fee of at least $200+ if we find evidence of pets on the ride.

6. All riders must remove their shoes, eyeglasses, hair clips, jewelry, buckles, pens, purses and sharp objects before entering.

7. Groups of riders should be sorted by similar age, weight and height. Larger, older children should ride separately from smaller children. The attendant is responsible for ensuring the equipment is not overloaded.

WEATHER:

When bad weather arrives -- rain, lightning or strong winds -- you must evacuate the ride as quickly and safely as possible. Remain Calm! If you panic, your riders may also panic. Stay calm and stay focused on helping your riders exit the ride quickly, but in an orderly fashion. After everyone has exited the ride, deflate the ride by turning off the blowers or fans.

LOSS OF POWER:

• If a loss of power occurs, the ride will slowly start to deflate.
• Remain Calm! You have plenty of time to help guests exit the ride quickly and safely. 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 help them walk out.
• Check to see if the blowers have come unplugged or the cords are unplugged from the outlet. If so, plug them back in, press the reset button on the extension cord, and the ride will re-inflate.
• Contact or have someone contact AFE at 614-224-9568 for phone support.
• Do not leave the ride unattended.

NEGLIGENCE OR ABUSE:

• The attendant must strictly enforce the rules posted on the warning sign and remain in control of the ride at all times.
• If injury or damage occurs, the LESSEE is liable and responsible for repairs, loss of revenue, depreciation, shipping costs and all other costs associated with repairs/replacement of the rental item(s).
• LESSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL REPLACEMENT COSTS & LOSS OF REVENUE IF SILLY STRING IS USED OR OTHER EXCESSIVE DAMAGE OCCURS.
