Wow Inflatables — Commercial-Grade, Licensed & Insured
Are Bounce Houses Safe? Yes — When Rented Right.
Safety is the #1 concern for parents renting inflatables. Wow Inflatables uses commercial-grade equipment, sanitizes after every use, professionally anchors every unit, and is fully licensed and insured in Georgia. Here's exactly what we do to keep your kids safe.
The Direct Answer
Bounce Houses Are Safe When Rented from a Licensed Professional
Bounce houses are safe when the rental company uses commercial-grade equipment, properly anchors the unit, sanitizes between uses, and is fully licensed and insured. The danger comes from residential units, unlicensed operators, and improper setup — not from commercial inflatables operated by professionals.
Wow Inflatables has operated safely in Middle Georgia since 2005. Every unit we rent is ASTM-compliant commercial-grade, inspected before each delivery, sanitized with EPA-registered products, professionally anchored, and backed by full commercial liability insurance.
When you rent from us, you're not renting from someone's garage. You're renting from a licensed Georgia business with 20+ years of experience, 127+ units in inventory, and a trained delivery crew that takes safety seriously at every single event.

Our Standards
6 Safety Standards We Never Compromise On
Commercial-Grade Equipment
We only use commercial-grade inflatables built to ASTM F2374 safety standards — not residential units sold at big-box stores. Commercial units have reinforced seams, stronger materials, and proper safety netting.
Pre-Delivery Inspection
Every inflatable is inspected before each delivery for tears, seam integrity, anchor points, and blower function. If anything is off, we substitute a different unit — no exceptions.
Hospital-Grade Sanitization
We sanitize all inflatables with EPA-registered antimicrobial products after every single use. Units are cleaned inside and out, then allowed to fully dry before storage.
Professional Anchoring
Our trained crew anchors every unit with ground stakes and/or sandbags based on the surface type. We never leave an inflatable unsecured, regardless of wind conditions.
Fully Licensed & Insured
Wow Inflatables carries full commercial general liability insurance. We are licensed to operate in Georgia and can provide certificates of insurance for any venue, park, or school.
Safety Briefing at Setup
Our delivery crew provides a safety briefing at every setup — covering capacity limits, age guidelines, no-shoes rules, and weather protocols. We don't just drop and run.
Buyer Beware
8 Red Flags to Watch for When Renting an Inflatable
Not all inflatable rental companies are equal. Many "side-hustle" operators use residential units, carry no insurance, and skip safety protocols. Here's what to watch out for when comparing rental companies in Georgia.
- Renting from someone with no business license or insurance
- Units that look faded, patched, or have visible tears
- No safety briefing or supervision guidance provided
- Blower that sounds weak or cuts in and out
- No anchoring stakes or sandbags used
- Operator who can't provide a certificate of insurance
- Units that are wet inside or smell musty (mold risk)
- No weight or capacity limits posted on the unit
Why Wow Inflatables is Different
We are a licensed Georgia business with 20+ years of operation. We carry full commercial liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance for any venue. Every unit is commercial-grade — not a residential unit from a big-box store.

Bounce House Safety — Frequently Asked Questions
Are bounce houses safe for kids?
Yes — when rented from a licensed, insured professional operator using commercial-grade equipment. Bounce houses rented from Wow Inflatables are commercial-grade, ASTM-compliant, sanitized after every use, professionally anchored, and come with a safety briefing. The risk comes from residential units and unlicensed operators who skip inspections and insurance.
What makes a bounce house rental safe vs. unsafe?
Safe bounce house rentals use commercial-grade equipment (not residential), are operated by licensed and insured companies, are properly anchored with stakes or sandbags, are sanitized between uses, and include a safety briefing. Unsafe rentals often involve residential units, no insurance, improper anchoring, and no cleaning protocol.
How do I know if a bounce house rental company is licensed and insured?
Ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) before booking. Any legitimate commercial inflatable rental company should be able to provide one. Wow Inflatables carries full commercial general liability insurance and can provide COIs for any venue. We are also a licensed Georgia business.
What is the weight limit for a bounce house?
Commercial bounce houses typically have weight limits of 500–800 lbs total capacity, with individual weight limits of 200–250 lbs per occupant. We follow all manufacturer-specified weight and capacity limits and post them on every unit. Never exceed the posted capacity.
How many kids can be in a bounce house at once?
Capacity depends on the size and type of unit. A standard 13x13 bounce house safely holds 6–8 children under age 12. We post the capacity on every unit and provide guidelines at setup. Mixing very young children with older, heavier kids increases risk — we recommend separating age groups.
What happens if it rains or gets windy during my rental?
We monitor weather closely. If winds exceed 15–20 mph or lightning is in the area, the inflatable must be deflated immediately. This is a safety requirement, not a preference. We provide weather protocols at setup and are available by phone throughout your rental. Refund and reschedule policies apply for weather cancellations.
Do bounce houses need to be supervised?
Yes. An adult should always supervise children in a bounce house. Our delivery crew provides a safety briefing, but ongoing supervision is the responsibility of the renter. Never leave children unattended in an inflatable.
Are bounce houses safe on concrete or asphalt?
Yes, with proper setup. We use sandbags instead of stakes on hard surfaces to anchor the unit securely. We also recommend placing a tarp or ground cover under the inflatable to protect both the unit and the surface.
