Ensuring Bouncy Castle Safety: Secure and Fun Entertainment with Sundorne Bouncy Castles
Bouncy castles have delighted people of all ages for decades, offering an exciting and safe environment for jumping, bouncing, and playing. At Sundorne Bouncy Castles, safety is at the core of everything we do. In this article, we’ll delve into the origins of bouncy castles, explain why UK inflatables are among the safest globally, and highlight how the design and construction of these inflatables continue to evolve to keep safety at the forefront.
The Origins of Bouncy Castles
The journey of bouncy castles began in the late 1950s when American engineer John Scurlock created an inflatable cover for tennis courts. Observing the joy his employees found in jumping on the inflatables, he conceived the idea of a "space walk," the precursor to today’s bouncy castles. Over the years, these inflatables have become a popular attraction at children’s parties, community events, and more, providing endless entertainment.
