Inflatable Gladiator

Inflatable Gladiator

The popular medieval sport of jousting, which found an audience in the 1500s, is now resurrected in a popular carnival game.

Inflatable jousting has taken the carnival and graduation party circuit by storm. It seems no one—children and adults alike—can get enough of beating each other up with these oversized padded Q-tips.

A popular method for determining strength, courage and athleticism in the Middle Ages, jousting had resurgence in the late 1980s with the popular television show American Gladiators. This version of the sport, featuring helmeted gladiators atop padded platforms, set the precedent for modern inflatable jousting matches.

Jousting lances, which were long pointed spears, have been replaced by pugil jousting sticks in this contemporary rendition of the sport. Pugil jousting sticks have been used as padded military training weapons since the early 1900s. Devised to help military men train to both attack and defend against bayonet assaults, these padded sticks have integrated hand guards.

Military men, contestants on American Gladiators and present-day inflatable joust participants must wear a variety of safety gear when participating in this sport. Competitors must wear protective helmets, hockey gloves, shin guards and chest protectors.

Though they are encouraged to beat their opponent relentlessly with their padded sticks, inflatable jousting participants are not allowed to kick, punch or otherwise hit their opponents.

They also are strongly advised against grappling on the ground and fighting once off the designated posts.

Much like its 15th century counterpart, inflatable jousting competitors perform to see who can win the best out of three matches. Each match includes participants attempting to knock their opponent off the small elevated post on which he is standing. Once a competitor is knocked off balance, he fights to stay atop his post. If he falls off, he loses the round. The competitor who can stay atop his elevated platform for the best out of three spars is crowned the champion, going home with blood on his chest, pride in his heart and perhaps a garland of leaves.

Inflatable jousting gear can be rented by a myriad of game providers. Typically, an unstaffed jousting ring costs approximately $325. Party hosts can rent the ring, safety equipment and regulation referees for $500. It generally takes four hours to deliver and set up the equipment.

For companies who host inflatable jousting matches frequently, it may be cost-effective to buy an inflatable jousting ring. Regulation-size inflatable jousting rings, which measure 21 X 24 feet, sell for around $3,500.

Jumping Inflatables

Jumping Inflatables

Entertainment is perhaps the most important element to consider when it comes to throwing an unforgettable event. Inflatable bouncers can spice up even the dullest church fundraiser, school carnival or graduation party.

Though the generic inflatable bouncer generally appeals to children, making its rounds at annual pee-wee football banquets, a variety of inflatable bouncers are created to appeal to the adult market.

Velcro stick walls, bungee runs and inflatable bungee jumping were created to attract teenagers and adults who grew up with inflatable castle moonwalks, but now require a physical rush while participating in time-honored inflatable games.

The bungee run is one such game created to appeal to competitive teenagers and adults. Designed for two participants at a time, competitors are strapped into a harness attached to a durable bungee cord. The bungee cord is inextricably connected to an inflatable wall behind the participants. Participants race along two side-by-side inflated running lanes in an attempt to outrun each other before the bungee cord snaps them back into the inflatable starting point. The bungee run is great for athletes looking to test their strength against the restrictive strain of the bungee cord.

Requiring a relatively flat set-up space, the bungee run is 35 feet long and 10 feet wide.

It needs to be located within 100 feet of an electrical outlet, with at least nine feet of overhead room. Grassy parks, asphalt parking lots and open gymnasiums are ideal locations for hosting the popular bungee run carnival game.

Bungee runs typically cost $250 for a four-hour rental period, $325 for an eight-hour event or $420 for a two-day weekend gala.

Similar to bungee runs, bungee trampolines are hosted at a variety of events. Popular retailer Maxi-Trampoline rents bungee trampolines in at least 60 countries across five continents. Widespread global support attests to this carnival sport's popularity.

Bungee trampolines work just how they sound: a participant is harnessed into a device connected to two bungee cords. The bungee cords are attached to two sturdy poles. As the person jumps on the trampoline, he or she gains heights up to a few hundred feet above ground.

Velcro fly walls are another game encouraging adult participants to let down their inhibitions. Strapped into absurd, full-body Velcro suits, participants climb obstacle courses laced with Velcro traps. They can also jump onto the Velcro wall, defying gravity and sticking to the sticky wall in a myriad of delightfully absurd positions.

Velcro walls, which have been a hit since they hit the market in the early 1990s, can be rented for $500. Without a supervision staff, however, these party treats cost just $325.

Inflatable Swimming Pools

Inflatable Swimming Pools
Inflatable pools are an inexpensive alternative to buying inground swimming pools. There are many different types of inflatable pools on the market including specific designs for particular age groups like infants, toddlers and children.

When choosing swimming pools for infants, it is important to remember the possibility of any human to drown in a few inches of water.

Keeping this in mind, search for an inflatable pool that will only hold no more than six inches of water. There are many different companies that offer such products that also incorporate bright colors and dangling objects to keep the attention of any infant.

Toddlers are a little larger and can be trusted a little more with staying above the water, nevertheless, they should not be left alone. These inflatable pools are generally larger than the infant pools and require more water and more inflation. Fortunately they come with a drain for emptying and fold up quite nicely for storage purposes.

Children pools can be much larger and usually can be considered an adult pool as well. Toys R Us offers numerous amounts of different swimming pools to choose from, ranging in a 12’ x 36’ round pool to a gigantic 45’ x 18’ x 52’’ oval pool. These types of pools generally need a skimmer, a ladder and a filter. Routine maintenance and cleaning are required. Prices range from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand.

An inflatable pool may sound like a good choice, but Consumer Reports warns of safety hazards. They estimate that one out of every five inflatable pool sold in the U.S. every year poses risks unknown to the purchaser or manufacturer. 250 children under the age of five drown in pools each year, and another 1,800 are treated for submersion injuries. This may be because of the fact that most people do not put a fence around their inflatable pools. When thinking about purchasing swimming pools, remember that without a fence, it's an accident waiting to happen.

For smaller boats, the floor and hull beneath it is often flexible. On boats longer than 3 metres/10 feet, the floor often consists of three to five rigid plywood or aluminium sheets fixed between the tubes but not joined rigidly together. Often the transom is rigid, providing a location and structure for mounting an outboard motor.
4. Inflatable games.Strictly,bounce house belongs to inflatable games.I think inflatable games is inflatables that could give fun to people.Some people think the following list all belong to inflatable games.

The original inflatable game was the Moonwalk (bounce house). Today there are a wide variety of inflatable games that come in all shapes and sizes. Many inflatable games put people in head to head competition with other people such as the bungee run and gladiator joust. There are also several inflatable obstacle courses available. Because of their large size, most obstacle courses consist of two or more inflatables connected together.

There are also several variations on sports games which are made portable thanks to inflatables. A sports cage is an inflatable cage that holds up a backdrop that resembles a sport (e.g. baseball, football, soccer, golf) in which you throw, toss, hit or kick a ball at a marked spot on the backdrop. The cage not only holds the backdrop but keeps balls from flying everywhere. Some sports cages come with a radar gun that will tell you the speed of your throw or kick.
