512Jump, an inflatable party rental provider serving Central Texas, has released the Greater Austin Party Rental Safety Guide—a new online resource designed to help parents, schools, churches, and community organizers host safer events with inflatable rentals. The guide is free to access and offers practical advice rooted in real-world experience and nationally recognized safety practices.
With inflatable rentals continuing to grow in popularity at backyard birthdays, school field days, and church festivals throughout the region, the need for clear, local safety information has become increasingly important. 512Jump’s safety guide addresses common concerns around space requirements, ground surfaces, power access, weather, supervision, and cleanliness.
“We’ve served thousands of events and noticed that safety questions come up at nearly every rental,” said Jack, owner of 512Jump. “People want to do the right thing—they just need a little guidance. This guide brings together the most important things we’ve learned on the job and puts them in one place so our customers can plan with more confidence.”
The guide was developed by 512Jump’s operations team using a combination of internal protocols, customer feedback, and guidelines adapted from ASTM International standards. To enhance its accuracy and reliability, the content was reviewed by a certified event safety coordinator and will be updated annually to reflect any changes in equipment, local regulations, or best practices.
The Greater Austin Party Rental Safety Guide includes details on proper anchoring, spacing, power sources, and monitoring usage by age group. It also walks readers through how to make decisions about weather—such as how to respond to high wind warnings or rain—and when to pause or cancel inflatable use for safety.
Independent safety professionals have noted that the recommendations in the guide align with widely accepted risk prevention practices for both public and private events. The guide reflects a proactive approach to inflatable safety that is increasingly encouraged across the industry and could serve as a model for other rental providers.
The guide is written in clear, accessible language and is intended to serve a wide range of event hosts—from first-time renters to school officials and HOA event planners. It is particularly valuable for organizers who must meet insurance or city permitting requirements, as it helps clarify expectations around equipment layout, adult supervision, and terrain suitability.
According to Jack, many accidents and last-minute issues can be avoided with better preparation. “Our delivery team gets great questions on-site like, ‘Can this go on concrete?’ or ‘What happens if it rains?’ We realized if we put that information into a resource, we could help people feel better prepared before the event even starts.”
The guide is part of a broader effort by 512Jump to improve transparency and support within the event rental industry. By sharing safety information publicly, the company hopes to promote a culture of planning, communication, and guest protection—especially during high-traffic seasons like spring festivals and summer parties.
While the guide includes examples drawn from 512Jump’s experience, the content is designed to benefit anyone hosting events with inflatable rentals in the Greater Austin area, regardless of which provider they choose. It can also serve as a resource for event insurance applications, volunteer safety training, or municipal permitting reviews.
To ensure the guide stays current, 512Jump plans to review and revise the content annually. Input from safety professionals, customers, and school administrators will inform each new edition. Readers are encouraged to check the guide regularly or contact the company with questions or topic suggestions.
