The Inflatable Operators Association is a national 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association representing the inflatable amusement industry. Its mission is to provide the resources, representation, and education that establish real safety and risk-management standards for bounce houses, water slides, and other inflatable amusement devices.
Membership isn’t automatic. It’s granted to operators who run their business in compliance with the industry’s recognized ASTM F2374 standard for the design, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of inflatable amusement devices. In plain terms: IOA members commit to operating safely, by the book, on every setup.
For you, that means the company setting up in your backyard isn’t guessing. We’re plugged into a national network focused on safety, ongoing education, and doing this the right way.
