Each operator should read and understand the following
instructions.
- The ride should not
be operated if wind exceeds 25 mph or in rain or lightning
conditions.
- All riders must remove
their shoes.
- Riders
should be sorted by size. Only riders
of the same size should be allowed in the ride at
the same time.
- Riders must remove
loose or sharp objects including glasses and dangling
jewelry. Glasses should be removed.
- No food, drink, silly

above based on the moonwalk size rented.
- The operator should
assist the riders when they enter and exit the ride.
- The operator should
position himself/herself in close proximity to the
entrance of the ride.
- While
the ride is in operation, the operator should watch
the riders at all times. No roughhousing
or horseplay should be tolerated. No flipping or climbing
on the nets is allowed. Anyone who does not
obey the rules after being warned should be asked
to exit the ride (operators should to be made to understand
that they are in control of the ride…and removing
someone from a ride who is not following rules is
important for all riders’ safety)
- The operator must strictly
enforce the rules posted on the warning sign.
- The operator should
assist the riders while they exit the ride.
- The operator must remain
in control of the ride at all times.
What
are the Emergency Procedures?
- Emergencies can arise for
various reasons. The following are a few examples
of emergencies and how they can be handled.
This is strictly a guide. Please use common
sense when an emergency occurs.
Weather
- Bad weather can arrive in
the form of rain, lightning or strong wind.
In each case you want to 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 your job, which is to help 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 and moving them
to a dry location.
- Mazes should be folded and
taken to a protected area out of the weather.
Bounces should be folded over once so that the interior
is protected from the weather.
Loss
of Electrical Power
When a loss of
power occurs the ride will slowly start to deflate.
- Remain
Calm! You will have ample time to help
your patrons quickly and safely exit the ride.
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’re helping 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 and the
ride will re-inflate. Do not leave the ride unattended
to check on any problem. Empty the ride and
then address the issue.
- Contact
or have someone contact the inflatable company at
770-886-4141 or 678-613-7112 (Cell) to check the problem.
Do not leave the ride unattended.
Damage
If the ride becomes
damaged while in your operation, take the following steps.
- If the ride is ripped
or otherwise begins to lose air, assist all riders
from the ride and deflate it.
- Write down what happened,
when, and any other details you observed and turn
this report in to the Responsible Party.
- Contact the inflatable company
immediately. Do not attempt to continue to operate
the ride.
