NATIONALINFLATABLESAFETY DAY
Raising inflatable safety awareness across the entire country.
Presented by SIOTO — the Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization.
What is National Inflatable Safety Day?
National Inflatable Safety Day, celebrated every July 1st, is an essential step toward raising public awareness about the importance of safety when using inflatables such as bounce houses, slides, and obstacle courses.
These attractions are enjoyed by millions of children and families across the country, yet many are unaware of the potential risks that come with improper setup, lack of supervision, or failure to follow safety guidelines.
By dedicating a day to inflatable safety, we educate parents, operators, event planners, and communities on best practices that prevent injuries and create safer environments for everyone.
Created by SIOTO (Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization ), this national awareness day serves as a powerful reminder of the shared responsibility between rental companies, event organizers, and families to prioritize safety.
Through public events, safety demonstrations, and social media campaigns, National Inflatable Safety Day empowers people with the knowledge they need to make smart, safe choices — ultimately reducing accidents and making inflatable fun a safer experience for all.
The 3 Safety Pillars
Every inflatable event should follow these three essential safety practices. Learn them. Live them. Share them.
Wind/Weather Check
Wind & Weather Monitoring
Weather conditions can change rapidly, and operators must continuously monitor wind speeds and forecasts throughout the event. Inflatables should be deflated and secured when sustained winds exceed 15-20 mph.
Proper Anchoring
Proper Anchoring & Staking
Every inflatable must be properly anchored to the ground using heavy-duty stakes or sandbags. Unsecured inflatables can become airborne in even moderate winds, posing serious risks.
Adult Supervision
Always Have Adult Supervision
Adult supervision is the single most important safety measure. An attentive adult should be stationed at every inflatable unit at all times during operation.
