This article will combine the hot discussions in the past 10 days and analyze the safe carrying capacity and related precautions of the inflatable castle for you through structured data.
1. Safety carrying capacity standards for inflatable castles
The children's carrying capacity of the inflatable castle needs to be comprehensively judged based on its size, material and design structure. The following is a reference table for the load capacity of inflatable castles with common specifications:
| Inflatable castle size (length × width) | Recommended maximum number of children | Applicable age range |
|---|---|---|
| 5m×5m | 6-8 people | 3-12 years old |
| 8m×6m | 10-12 people | 3-15 years old |
| 10m×8m | 15-20 people | 5-15 years old |
Note:The actual carrying capacity also needs to consider the average weight of children (it is recommended not to exceed 50kg/person) and the fixed conditions on site (such as wind level).
2. Recent hot events and security controversies
1.Inflatable castle accidents occur frequently during the May Day holiday:There have been reports in many places that inflatable castles have overturned due to overloading or unstable fixation, causing parents to question the qualifications of the operators.
2.Material safety issues:Some consumers have complained that low-priced inflatable castles use low-quality PVC, are prone to breakage and lack fire-proof certification.
3.Regulatory gaps:At present, there is no unified mandatory standard for inflatable castle production in China, and some areas only rely on temporary inspections.
3. How to judge whether the inflatable castle is safe?
The following are the inspection items that parents and operators need to focus on:
| Check items | safety standards |
|---|---|
| fixed anchor point | At least 4 anchor points, additional counterweight is required when the wind strength is ≥ level 3 |
| Material thickness | PVC thickness ≥0.3mm, double reinforcement at seams |
| On-site management | Special personnel are on duty, and sharp objects are prohibited. |

2. Children must take off their shoes when playing and avoid wearing metal jewelry;
3. Evacuate immediately in case of strong winds, thunderstorms and other weather conditions;
