The bouncy castle may become more slippery when wet. During light rain a cover is to be placed over the fan/blower to prevent water being sucked into the inflatable (a small picnic table or similar), similarly any exposed power points/supplies /connections should be covered as well. During heavy rain/ downpour TURN OFF THE POWER at source IMMEDIATELY and cover power source, any junctions and fan/blower. Similarly, bouncy castles can be dangerous if exposed to high winds.
