Water slides are a highlight of any Katy party or summer gathering, but safety must always come first. Following a few essential tips ensures every slide adventure is both fun and incident-free.
Choose reputable Katy companies that are licensed, fully insured, and state-inspected. Insist that the rental is clean, structurally sound, and set up per Texas safety rules.
Ask the provider to walk you through how the water slide will be anchored and what to do in case of weather emergencies.
Never leave children unsupervised. Assign a responsible adult to monitor the slide area at all times—especially for younger kids.
Only allow children of similar size/age to use the slide at once to minimize risk, and never permit rough play, flips, or jumping from the top.
Place the slide on a level, soft, obstruction-free surface, and keep it far from fences, trees, and power lines.
Make sure all stakes, sandbags, or weights are firmly attached as instructed by the rental company to prevent tipping or shifting.
No shoes, sharp objects, food, drinks, or gum allowed in or on the water slide.
Remove eyeglasses and jewelry before sliding, and never enter if you’ve consumed alcohol.
Limit riders to the manufacturer’s maximum capacity at one time.
Confirm with your Katy provider that every slide is sanitized before delivery. Dry any wet surfaces if using the slide dry, and do not use in rain or storms.
After heavy use or before meals, have children dry off and wash hands.
In high winds or rain, immediately get all users off the inflatable, turn off the blower, and unplug the power source.
Resume only when it’s completely safe and the equipment is dry and secure.
By following these safety measures, Katy families can focus on making great memories—confident that every slide experience will be joyful and secure for everyone involved.
