Safe bouncy castles: important training for clubs in Zeiskam!

On Tuesday, April 8, at 6 p.m., an important training of the Kreisjugendrings Germersheim e.V. . This event is held in the parking lot in front of the Fuchsbachhalle in Zeiskam and is aimed at associations, clubs and institutions who want to borrow bouncy castles. The training will deal with the proper use of assembly and dismantling as well as with insurance law aspects.

There is special attention to security and the legal requirements that must be observed when using bouncy castles. Lending a bouncy castle is only possible if the training has been successfully completed. Participants receive a user certificate that is valid for three years.

training details and registration

Participation in the training is free. However, registration is required in advance, whereby the interested parties have to specify their names, their email address and their telephone number (ideally the cell phone). This is important because the training can be canceled or laid due to weather conditions.

For registrations, interested people can contact the Kreisjugendamt Germersheim . There is available as contact person Lara Anslinger on 07274/53 3900 or by email to Kreisjugendpflege@kreis-germersheim.de. After the training, a general assembly of the district youth ring will also take place at 7:30 p.m., to which all interested people are invited.

safety aspects of bouncy castles

Security when using bouncy castles is a decisive topic. Accidents can occur if the bouncy castle is not sufficiently filled with air or overturns in strong winds. A concise example provides a case treated by the Koblenz Higher Regional Court, in which a teacher was injured while relegating from a bouncy castle. It was decided that the operator is responsible for monitoring the air filling.

bouncy castles must also be able to carry the weight of adults, since parents may enter the bouncy castle. It is important here that both operators and assistants are regularly responsible for the security and control of the bouncy castle. If an employee who is responsible for the controls neglects his duties and an incident occurs, this can raise significant liability issues.

A careful selection and monitoring of assistants is, according to the Report on traffic safety for bouncy castles crucial to minimize the risk of liability. In one case, for example, an organizer was liable due to the defective surveillance of his employee, which underlines the importance of training and the proper supervision.
