Make sure there is no Portadown people anywhere near it then.

Good craic they may well be,but I have to throw a spanner in the works. What happens if say a neighbour`s child gets injured in your back garden, on one of these?  In these days of claims etc. who pays up?

Any time we get one for a birthday we police it from start to finish to ensure noone gets hurt - in fairness there are some of my kids mates I don't allow them to bring because they are pure nuts and I refuse to take any chances.

The insurance/lack of element is an issue, it'd be a barrier to setting up a bouncy castle hire company anyway.
Safest thing would be to only allow childer on her, whose parents have signed a waiver absolving you from any responsibility should their young un suffer any damage.  I'm sure teachers have plenty of templates that could be used for this type of thing.

True but you have almost the same issue if the kids are round for a run around or a game of football and trip over a rogue toy or something

No you don't a bouncy castle is a piece of equipment which comes with guildlines on how it should be used and managed.

So do swings and slides and trampolines. Whats the difference?

I have a simple solution that has worked for me. I don't allow the neighbour's children on it. Bought the same kind as DB's.
