Waco Bounce House Rentals, a full-service party and event rental company serving the greater Central Texas region, has published a dedicated Safety Standards page on its website at wacobouncehouserentals.com. The page documents the company’s compliance with Texas state requirements governing commercial inflatable and amusement ride operators and provides guidance to help consumers evaluate any party rental vendor before booking.

“We wanted to put it all in one place and be direct about it,” said Bill Gann, owner of Waco Bounce House Rentals. “People are trusting us to bring equipment to their kids’ parties. They should know exactly what we do to earn that trust.”

Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 2151, known as the Amusement Ride Safety Inspection and Insurance Act, governs all commercial inflatable and amusement ride operators in Texas. The law is administered by the Texas Department of Insurance under rules set out in 28 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 5, Subchapter J. Under those requirements, operators must carry minimum liability insurance, have each ride inspected annually by the insurance carrier or its contracted inspector, obtain a TDI compliance sticker for each unit, and file a schedule of operations with TDI for each six-month period. Failure to comply is a Class B misdemeanor under Texas law.

Waco Bounce House Rentals operates under those requirements. The company’s Safety Standards page describes how each unit in its inventory is presented for annual inspection by an inspector contracted through the company’s insurer, as required under the Act. The inspection covers seams, anchor points, blower connections, netting, and structural integrity of each piece of equipment. Upon passing, each unit receives a TDI compliance sticker valid for one year. The company’s current insurance policy and sticker status are on file with TDI and available for public verification through the TDI website.

Beyond state minimums, Gann said the company conducts its own internal review of each unit after every rental, independent of the annual insurance inspection cycle.

The Safety Standards page also covers the company’s insurance coverage in detail. Continuous air-flow inflatables such as bounce houses and inflatable slides are classified as Class B rides under Texas Occupations Code Section 2151.101, which requires a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence in liability coverage. The company carries that coverage and provides a certificate of insurance upon request to venues, schools, churches, homeowners associations, and corporate facilities that require documentation before permitting equipment on their property.

The page separately addresses workers’ compensation, noting that Texas law does not require most private employers to carry workers’ compensation coverage, and that whether a property owner faces any exposure in connection with an injury to an uninsured worker on their property depends on the specific facts and applicable law. The company states that it does carry workers’ compensation coverage for its delivery and setup crew, and advises consumers to ask any rental vendor about their coverage before booking.

Equipment cleaning is covered in a five-step protocol detailed on the page: post-rental inspection and debris removal, cleaning with commercial-grade agents, sanitization, a complete drying cycle, and a final pre-delivery inspection. The company states that no unit is stored wet and that every unit is inspected before going to a customer event.

The page’s weather and wind guidance references the manufacturer-specified operating limits applicable to each unit, which vary by product and anchor method. As a general framework, the page notes that equipment anchored with sandbags on hard surfaces carries lower wind tolerances than equipment staked into grass, and that both setups require riders to exit and the blower to be shut off when sustained winds exceed the applicable manufacturer threshold. The lightning protocol on the page follows the widely recognized 30-minute rule: clear the unit at the first sound of thunder or sight of lightning, and wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before resuming outdoor use, consistent with guidance from the National Lightning Safety Institute and standard event safety practice.

A section of the page titled “How to Verify Any Party Rental Company’s Safety” presents questions consumers can use to evaluate any operator in the market. Those questions address insurance documentation, workers’ compensation and commercial auto coverage, TDI compliance sticker status, cleaning procedures, who physically sets up the equipment, wind shutdown procedures, and whether written safety rules are provided before the event. Consumers can verify whether a specific operator holds a current TDI compliance sticker directly through the TDI website at tdi.texas.gov.
