Safety Mats

All too often we look at local competitors and realise they setup on hard surfaces and only supply one safety mat... Wizard Bouncy Castles do not cut corners because we care about your child's safety and because its the law!

Access/ egress 4.2.3

On any open side, the free height of fall shall be no greater than 630 mm from the ground in the unloaded condition, (600 mm in the loaded condition).

On any open side, the extent of the impact area shall be at least 1.2 m. The surface in the impact area shall meet the requirements for impact attenuation so that the critical fall height of the surfacing, according to EN 1177, is at least 630 mm. The impact areas of adjacent inflatables and/or other play equipment shall not overlap.

Materials such as soil, turf and sand have some impact attenuating properties. Impact absorbing mats may be used.

Grass has some impact attenuating properties, so therefore does not always require all open sides to be covered by absorbing/ safety mats. (The area should be assessed and not just assumed that it doesn't need them).

Concrete and Tarmac do not meet the requirements for impact attenuation, so therefore would be required to be safety matted of at least 1.2 m, on all open sides and not just the front of the inflatable.

Halls do not meet the requirements for impact attenuation, so therefore would be required to be safety matted of at least 1.2 m, on all open sides and not just the front of the inflatable.
