How safe are those big bouncers for kids?

Question

What if it is in someone's backyard? Who is responsible if a kid gets hurt - or is it just an accident (no fault)? What if a kid breaks an arm or knocks out a tooth? Thanks

Answer 1

I rented one of these big bouncers for my son's birthday...he turned 4... and it was great. You just need to pay attention to the occupancy limits...which are determined by age. If you get too many in there at once the probability of injury goes up. As far as fault....it's an accident. To ease your apprehension, make it clear to parents that you assume no responsibility for injuries. Be sure to verbally state this in front of others as well. You could draw something up for them to sign, but this is a little anal-retentive, don't you think? It's also important that an adult casually watches
the children, discouraging any unnecessary rough play.

Do you mean those big inflatable bouncers some people rent for parties? All of the ones I've seen have netting and roofs to close them in and small doors. I think the only way serious injuries could happen would be too many kids and bumping into each other. Adults should always supervise the kids no matter what. Try climbing in with the kids for a little while, those things are fun.

Good question. I suspect if a kid got hurt the primary insurance would cover, but they may want to investigate and see if other insurance would cover. I said may due to the fact that on accident forms that I have been subjected to want workman's comp...ssi...not homeowners in particular. Kids do get active and fall, slip, bend, stretch....On the other hand they do need physical activity to burn calories and not get diabetes or other illnesses. Usually kids know how to do those jump rooms/ball pits.
When I was younger, I jumped on my neighbor's porch and he had some weak boards; the boards snapped. I did not get hurt, but the homeowners were very upfront about inquiring about my health or if I was injured. Now, these people made it a point to keep their property in good repair. The rain,slope of the porch, and shaded area was the problem (hidden rot). He was more than willing to turn everything into his house insurance. It taught me alot about people and situations. My parents wanted to pay for the repair of the porch (some boards) and he sweetly said no.
Today: You have parents that want compensation. We sue. People hate people. The house insurance would go up after the bouncer owners for not having liability insurance on the bouncer. This is more money in the insurance people pockets, vs how many use or get hurt on a bouncer out of a pool of hundreds of people, etc...
I for one always wanted a bouncer for my grandkids due to the fact that they are extremely active and not allowed to do things in a trailer park where they live. They never got one due to price among other factors. Peace

Answer 4

My theory is if my kids go to the neighbors, and I know there is a trampoline, or something like that, then I have relinquished my permission. Therefore allowing my kid to play is acepting responsability if there is an accident. I think the big bouncers and tramps are great forms of toys, they are also great for kids to exercise on. I would rather my kids go play on them outside, then play on the playstation inside.

Answer 5

usually, i could say "regardless of you desire!" even nonetheless, it incredibly is an extremely particular case. A bouncer can't do in simple terms regardless of they desire. I say Aikido, jujitsu or Judo are the final for a bounder because of the fact they supply administration. As a bouncer, this is frowned upon to certainly hit clientele. which will purely get you fired very rapid. you desire a administration orientated artwork that could properly be used to cease somebody from attacking and then getting them outdoors, consequently my techniques. i do no longer propose wing chun or kick boxing because of the fact, as quickly as lower back, hitting a client is requesting hardship.

Answer 6

Alot of companies if they are rented have a staff that is there to supervise and it should be the same if it is in someones backyard (they bought it not rented) If the kids are under 16 I think they should be supervised. I would say if someone got hurt it would be who ever is in charge of the property it is on unless it is rented and some one is supposed to supervise. They would have to put a homeowner claim to cover the cost of the injured person.

Answer 7

they are as safe as the adult watching them. It is the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their child. Kids are all going to have accidents but it is the job of the parent to try their hardest to keep them safe. If you are concerned then font let your kid play in one, i have a two year old and we have a bounce house and he is perfectly fine in their in fact he has even played on real trampolines with enclosures with me, of course you have to be observant of what they are doind at all times.

Answer 8

never had a problem.
