My son%26#039;s party is in a few days but it looks like it may rain on his birthday. I rented an inflatable moonwalk for him and all of of his friends. Normally the kids bounce around in these in socks, so no one gets a sneaker kick to the head. If it rains that day, should I make everyone keep their shoes on instead? Make them go barefoot? It seems socks would get wet in the yard. What do other parents do for safety?
I am getting an inflatable moonwalk for my kid%26#039;s birthday party. What footwear is best if it rains?
Barefoot would be best.
Socks will get dirty and wet. Shoes can hurt others (kick in the head) and the moonwalk. If it is just light rain, jumping is not a problem.
Kids love going barefoot in these things anyway. You should not get any resistance if you make going barefoot the rule.
Reply:Thanks!
I%26#039;ll tell everyone to remove their shoes and socks at the front door when they arrive. I think it will just be safer and easier if everyone at the party stays in bare feet from the start. Report It
Reply:If it rains hard or if there is lightning, you should shut the moonwalk off (the delivery person will show you how). If it%26#039;s just sprinkling, you can let the kids keep on jumping.
No shoes in the jump - it could damage it. Barefoot is OK, but it could be unsanitary. Best to just let them take their shoes off when they get to the moonwalk, right before going in (and bring some dry socks to change into once they%26#039;re done jumping for the day).
Reply:barefoot would be okay, but not shoes.
Reply:why not dry the unit off and they can still wear socks
no one needs to wear shoes in that unit.
or just cancel the unit if it rains period
as it can get messy depending on how hard a rain comes
Reply:If it rains, I%26#039;d say it%26#039;s too dangerous for any jumping - sneakers, socks or bare feet. Dangerous.
Reply:If there is thunder and lightening, they shouldn%26#039;t be playing outside. If it%26#039;s just light rain, I would let them continue to jump. Buy some slipper socks for each kid to wear-the grips on the bottom will keep them from slipping and sliding or buy cheap socks so they arent ruining their own socks. I think sneakers are too dangerous. Also, with sneakers--if there%26#039;s a rock in the sole of the shoe and it could puncture the moonwalk--EXPENSIVE. You might tell the parents to bring a dry change of clothes so you don%26#039;t have a bunch of wet, muddy kids in your living room. Kids love the rain. They%26#039;ll have a blast.
Reply:In my experiences working with companies who rent out moonwalks...usually if it looks like it may rain or begins to drizzle, they will take it down due to company regulations. It is a hazard for the children to be on there and it is wet. And the wetter the moonwalk gets makes them not be able to put it back up so fast. They have to wait until it dries.
