Plain and simple the owner of this Kansas inflatable center was not following the industry standards, Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements or standard common sense. On top of that he allowed his own son to inspect and certify his inflatables. Why because the city allowed that.

Then comes a fellow safety consultant who suggest the extreme when it comes to inspection. As of my last information the testing and certification he speaks of does not have any questions regarding inflatables.

Here is what needs to be done.

1. Write a comprehensive law similar to Pennslyvania's or New Jersey's for Inflatables.

2. Train the owner and operators.

3. Staff each and every inflatable with a training operator. Two for the larger ones.

4. Educate the patron and let them know that they are responsible for following the rules and listening to the operator of the inflatable.
