No, but I have known parents write on the invitation "we have no insurance, but you are welcome to stay with your child if you wish." Not sure how that would stand up in court, though.

God no I have never even thought about it. But, and I think this is important, I always always hire an adult sized one and all the grown ups like to stay and play too

Crikey I really had not thought about it - I am so rubbish

It is such a shame isn't it? All our bouncy castle parties have been amazing. Poor DD, what about a bit of shark cage diving? grin

ffs what is it coming to...

it is, anyone can buy it. I cannot believe anyone would have a leg to stand on though if you send your kid to a bouncy castle party it does, by definition include bouncing on a bouncy castle and sometimes falling off!

I am sure if you google it someone will sell it to you - people are so risk averse now that I cannot imagine it is not available (not having a pop at you btw I just think it is sad we have to be so bloody cautious)
