12) NEVER, EVER HIRE OUT TOY INFLATABLES. They are only suitable for light domestic use, and it’s a criminal offence under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 to hire them out for commercial purposes. In other words, if you hire out cheap, toy bouncy castles (the type that you can buy in supermarkets) and you get caught, then you could be prosecuted. Aside from that, it is virtually impossible to get PL insurance on toy inflatables.
