“IS THE PERSON SETTING THIS UP ACTUALLY TRAINED TO DO IT?”
Here’s the uncomfortable truth about this industry: Georgia has no state requirement for inflatable operator training. Anyone with a trailer, a blower, and a Facebook page can call themselves a rental company tomorrow.
Most are good people. But good intentions don’t anchor a 22-foot slide against a wind gust. Training does. Knowing the weight limits, the wind thresholds, and the emergency shutdown sequence — that’s what keeps kids safe.
That’s why we got certified before we ever delivered a single unit. Not because Georgia made us. Because your guests deserve an operator who treats safety as a discipline.

State-required training hours for inflatable operators in Georgia. Zero. The standard you get depends entirely on who you hire.
The Training
WHAT ADVANCED CERTIFICATION ACTUALLY COVERS
01
Anchoring & Wind Load
Proper staking, ballast, and how wind forces act on inflatables — the #1 cause of serious inflatable accidents nationwide.
02
Safe Setup & Site Assessment
Surface evaluation, clearance, electrical safety, and spotting hazards before a unit comes off the truck.
03
Occupancy & Supervision
Rider limits, age and size grouping, and the supervision standards that prevent the most common injuries.
04
Weather Response
Wind thresholds, lightning protocol, and when to shut down — decisions made by procedure, not gut feeling.
05
Emergency Procedures
Evacuation sequence, deflation response, and incident management — trained before they’re ever needed.
06
Annual Renewal
This certification expires every year. We retrain and recertify annually — the standard never goes stale.
SEE IT FOR YOURSELF
We don’t just claim it — here’s the actual certificate, issued by SIOTO, the national standard-setter for commercial inflatable safety training.

What It Means For You
THE PART THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS TO YOUR EVENT
01
Your guests are in trained hands
The person anchoring the unit at your event has been trained and tested on the exact procedures that prevent the accidents you read about. Not guessing — trained.
02
You get a real safety briefing — every time
Before we leave, we walk you through the rules, the shutdown procedure, and the weather thresholds. You sign off on a safety card. Five minutes, never skipped.
03
Schools, churches & venues — we have your paperwork
Hosting somewhere that requires proof of insurance or operator credentials? Certificate of insurance and certification available on request. We make approval easy.
04
It’s a standard, not a sales pitch
We’d rather lose a booking to weather than run a unit in unsafe conditions. That’s a written policy in every rental agreement — not a vibe.
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE
Every Event Edge rental comes with the same trained operator, the same briefing, and the same standard. No shortcuts.
If you are taking measurements for a structure such as a building or fence, please provide the height of the structure here. If height does not apply to the wash, for instance for a gutter wash, leave this field empty. Please note if you enter a value here after taking measurements, you will need to take measurements again.
