At Cowboy Party Rentals, our top priority is to provide every family, school, and event planner with a memorable and safe experience. Bounce houses are a staple in the party scene here in Dallas, TX. They bring vibrant color, excitement, and joy to birthdays, school events, church gatherings, city festivals, and backyard parties. But behind every inflatable we deliver is a detailed and proven safety protocol designed to ensure a safe bounce house experience in Dallas, every single time.
We believe that fun and safety should never be mutually exclusive. From when our inflatables leave our Midlothian warehouse to when they’re packed up after your event, our team is trained to uphold the highest standards in bounce house rental safety. If you're searching for peace of mind with your party planning, here's everything you need to know about the safety measures that Cowboy Party Rentals has in place—and what makes us the trusted choice for thousands of customers across Dallas and the DFW area.
Why Bounce House Safety Matters More Than Ever
Bounce houses are incredibly popular in Dallas, especially in neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Cedar Hill, and Grand Prairie, where community events and family parties are frequent. While these inflatables offer hours of active fun, they also present risks when mishandled. According to the CDC and CPSC, bounce house injuries are often the result of poor setup, overcrowding, or weather-related incidents.
That’s why we approach every rental as if our children will play in it. We don’t just drop off a bounce house—we deliver a fully prepped, anchored, and inspected inflatable with clear safety instructions to give families confidence and control. Every parent wants their child to have fun and be protected while doing it.
State-Inspected, Insured, and Compliant Inflatables
The State of Texas requires all amusement rentals—including bounce houses—to undergo annual inspections and carry proper insurance. At Cowboy Party Rentals, we meet and exceed those requirements. Every inflatable in our inventory has been inspected and registered with the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). This ensures it is structurally sound, free from defects, and safe for public use.
We also carry $1 million in liability insurance coverage, so you can rent from us knowing that you and your guests are protected. Whether your event is at a home, school, church, or public park, choosing a licensed and insured provider is the first step in ensuring safety.
Premium Quality Commercial Inflatables with Built-in Safety Features
Not all bounce houses are created equal. We exclusively rent commercial-grade inflatables built with reinforced vinyl, double-stitched seams, and integrated safety features. These include mesh windows for visibility and ventilation, cushioned safety ramps for easier entry and exit, and no-jump netting at the top of slides to prevent dangerous leaps.
In areas like Dallas where summer temperatures can rise quickly, our water slide combos also include shaded areas to help keep kids cool and protected from heat exhaustion. We aim to offer bounce houses that combine fun with thoughtful safety enhancements designed for kids aged 2 to 12.
Cleaning and Sanitization: More Than Just a Spray
Cleanliness is a foundational part of safety. We follow a strict sanitation process after every rental. Each bounce house is deep-cleaned with child-safe disinfectants, scrubbed for dirt and residue, rinsed, dried thoroughly, and inspected before rolling and storing.
In today’s world, parents and schools are more concerned about germs than ever. That’s why we document and follow consistent, visible sanitizing practices. Customers regularly compliment us on how fresh and clean our units arrive—because we treat your event like ours.
Expert Setup and Professional Anchoring Every Time
Anchoring is one of the most critical steps in ensuring bounce house safety, especially in areas with unpredictable Texas wind gusts. Our delivery crews are trained to secure every bounce house using heavy-duty stakes on grass or weighted sandbags on hard surfaces. We never cut corners. We never leave until every point is secure, the blower system is thoroughly tested, and the inflatable has passed our checklist.
We also assess environmental factors such as proximity to power lines, slopes, sprinkler heads, and overhead tree branches. We bring additional anchoring supplies and generator power if needed for parks or larger venues. It's all part of our commitment to setup safety and operational integrity.
Power Safety and Blower Operation
Bounce houses depend on blowers for constant air pressure. The unit can quickly deflate if power fails or a blower becomes unplugged. To prevent this, we plug all blowers into GFCI outlets—ground fault circuit interrupters—designed to shut off power in milliseconds if a fault is detected.
We also use thick, outdoor-grade extension cords, and we cover or tape down cords to prevent tripping hazards. If your event location lacks reliable power access, we’ll provide an appropriately sized generator to power the unit safely. These details might seem small, but they make a big difference in creating a secure experience.
Supervision and Capacity Guidelines for Safer Play
Supervision is non-negotiable. Cowboy Party Rentals provides detailed supervision guidelines with every rental, and we always recommend assigning at least one adult per inflatable to monitor play. Our team also informs you of the maximum number of children per age group that each bounce house can safely accommodate at once.
For instance, a 15x15 standard bounce house may safely hold up to 6 younger children or 4 older kids at once, while a larger combo unit may handle more with rotating turns. Overcrowding leads to collisions and accidents, so we encourage parents to create a rotation system during large parties to keep play organized and safe.
Age-Appropriate Inflatables for Different Groups
Every age group has different physical needs and limits. We offer toddler units designed explicitly with low walls, minimal climb zones, and more manageable bounce surfaces for children under age five. Our obstacle courses and slide combos provide more adventurous play options for school-age kids with features that accommodate their size and stamina.
Choosing the right inflatable based on age ensures kids enjoy themselves while staying within their physical abilities. Our booking team helps each client select the perfect match to avoid safety risks related to age or size mismatch.
Weather Monitoring and Event Flexibility
As any Texan knows, weather can change in an instant. High winds and lightning are two of the biggest threats to inflatable safety. If wind speeds exceed 20 mph or storms are forecasted, we will proactively contact you to delay, reschedule, or cancel your rental with no penalty. We’ve built our weather policies around customer safety, not profit.
Before setup, we use mobile apps and real-time radar to assess conditions. If winds rise during an event, we advise deflation and temporary closure until the threat passes. If your party is in an open area like a park or athletic field, we just bring extra stakes and reinforcement gear.
Clear Instructions and Support Before, During, and After the Event
We provide written and verbal instructions on proper usage for every bounce house rental, including what is and isn’t allowed inside the unit. This includes no flips, no food or drink, no sharp objects, no climbing on the walls, and no use by adults unless specifically stated as an all-ages unit.
Our support doesn’t stop once setup is complete. We’re available by phone throughout your event if you have questions or concerns. From late arrivals to wind alerts to post-event pickup, our customer service team is responsive and ready to assist.
