In the area where I live these castles are very popular, parents rent them for birthday parties, neighbors go together to rent them for block parties.indeed, it seems quite small. It's been years since my children went on jumping castles but when they did they were at a big market with a side show, and the inflatables were way bigger than this with big engine things and the operators were scrupulous about clearing them out or even deflating them in windy weather.
if it was hired as a 'self operation' kind of deal rather than coming with an experienced operator, then I'd imagine the trauma and guilt of the school staff would be compounded many times over. I've read nothing about who the operator is, or if they had staff on site.
There are several “bounce house” rental companies here, they deliver, set up, and return to take down but supervision is left up to the parents.
