This bill establishes and clarifies safety requirements for inflatable rides in New Jersey, as regulated by the Department of Community Affairs under the Carnival-Amusement Rides Safety Act. Key provisions include the requirement for manufacturers to create a detailed manual for the operation, maintenance, and setup of inflatable rides, which must include illustrations, tie-down and anchorage requirements, and safe operation guidelines. Additionally, every inflatable ride must have an identification and data plate that includes essential information such as the manufacturer's name, date of manufacture, ride capacity, and inflation requirements.

Operators of inflatable rides are mandated to conduct thorough checks of the rides and their accessories before use, ensuring that all anchor points and ropes are undamaged. The bill specifies that each inflatable ride must come with a set of ground anchors, and operators must use appropriate stakes or ballast at every anchorage point. In the event of hazardous weather, operators are required to evacuate riders and deflate the ride, only allowing re-entry once it is deemed safe. Furthermore, the bill prohibits the operation of inflatable rides in wind conditions exceeding the manufacturer's recommended limits.
