What to Consider when Purchasing a Commercial Bounce House

What to consider when purchasing a commercial bounce house.

Purchasing a commercial bounce house can be beneficial financially, health-wise, and great for any party event. Whether you are buying a bounce house for residential use or commercial use, there might be questions on the purchase of a commercial bounce house. At Magic Jump Inc., we want to make sure you feel comfortable with your purchase. We know what it takes to make a safe, creative bounce house that everyone will love. Here are a couple of things to consider when purchasing your commercial bounce house.

Safety is Always First 

When purchasing a bounce house, safety is a priority. At Magic Jump Inc., we pride ourselves on the fact that we pay close attention to safety and being up to date with any new safety regulations. The bounce house should display all safety rules for participants to read before entering to play.

Is it for commercial use or residential? 

Commercial or residential use determines the price, size, and how long the bounce house will last. A bounce house for residential will be a lot smaller than a commercial bounce house and is for fewer participants. The lifespan of a bounce house for residential use is a lot less compared to a commercial bounce house that is several years. The main factor is the material used in manufacturing.

What is the Bounce House made of? 

It’s essential to educate yourself on the materials that make up the bounce house. When buying your bounce, make sure to ask questions about how it was made and what material was used to make the bounce house. The material the bounce house is made of will determine the safety and durability of the inflatable. 

How much are you willing to spend? 

Think about how much money you are willing to spend. Consider whether you want to buy a used bounce house or a brand new one. Depending on the price, look at the pros and cons of buying a used bounce house or a new one.

If you are looking into buying a brand new one, compare prices but take into account quality, material, and safety. These factors can also reflect on the price, which is sometimes a good thing.

Am I willing to pay a reasonable amount for a jumper that is well made with good quality from a well-rated company? The decision is ultimately yours.

Good Warranty 

A good warranty is crucial when purchasing a bounce house. At least 1-3 years warranty is recommended for a commercial bounce house. Magic Jump Inc. offers a 1.5-year warranty for our wet units and a three-year warranty for our dry units. 

Magic Jump, Inc. 

Magic Jump offers a wide selection of bounce houses and inflatables. Since 2018 Magic Jump Inc. has become home to the licensed inflatables offering great bounce houses with the newest characters, shows, and movies in today’s pop culture.

New ASTM standards: A Work In Progress

Magic Jump is dedicated to delivering safe high-quality inflatables. All of our inflatables adhere to safety measures set forth by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and comply with standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International. As for the state laws in the inflatables industry, the majority of our inflatables conform to the standards of New Jersey, which has pioneered strict, mandatory production and safety guidelines for manufacturers of inflatable games.

There are no mandatory national safety standards for U.S. amusement rides, but the amusement ride industry has developed an extensive suite of consensus safety standards through the ASTM International Committee F24 on Amusement Rides and Devices, which is responsible for standards related to amusement rides and devices including inflatables. In an effort to toughen safety standards and reduce injury rates, a group of manufacturers, operators and regulators in the amusement industry are updating industry guidelines to be more specific and to reinforce the importance of proper setup, supervision and training. The guidelines will be finalized by ASTM International.

ASTM International Committee F24 on Amusement Rides and Devices is revising an important standard on inflatable amusement rides. The responsible subcommittee, F24.61 on Adventure Attractions, invites all interested parties to contribute to the revision of standard F2374, Practice for Design, Manufacture, Operation and Maintenance of Inflatable Amusement Rides. Within the subcommittee, three task groups have been formed to develop requirements and test methods for key areas: design and manufacturing group; operations and patron education; and testing and inflatable impact requirements.

Revisions include:

  • Drafting manufacturing requirements to mitigate fall hazards;
  • Adding a section on anchoring, including diagrams showing correct positioning and depth of anchor stakes;
  • Creating a provision for professional certification of wind load calculations; and
  • Expanding sections on procedures and rules for installation of air inflatables, supervision by trained attendants and safe use by patrons.

At Magic Jump, we’ll always make sure that your customers bounce around on the best — and safest — inflatable equipment available. We love inflatables™

New DuraBounce Is The Most Durable Fabric in the Inflatable Industry

At IAAPA Expo 2017, Magic Jump just announced the launch of their all-new “super premium” fabric called DuraBounce. It’s the “most durable” fabric in the inflatable industry.

Since a typical Family Entertainment Center (FEC) is open 5 to 7 days per week for 10 hours per day, their inflatables undergo very heavy traffic which reduces their product life expectancy considerably.

Magic Jump offers two FEC Solutions to this problem:
1. Magic Jump developed their own line of Indoor Party Center (IPC) Inflatables, specially made for high-traffic use in FECs. These IPC inflatables are reinforced with double-layered vinyl in high areas of wear & tear.

2. Magic Jump is introducing DuraBounce, a new “super premium” fabric that will add a higher level of durability to Magic Jump’s IPC inflatables and further extend their product life expectancy.

Screen Shot 2017-11-20 at 3.20.59 PMStarting December 1, 2017, FECs can order Magic Jump’s IPC Inflatables with DuraBounce fabric either on our website (www.MagicJump.com) or over the phone (toll free) at 877.847.1313.
