Oliver Lambert
Owner, Bounce World — New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner and the Northshore.
Oliver Lambert owns and runs Bounce World, trading as The Big Fun Amusements & Events Co, DBA Bounce World, out of Kenner, Louisiana. Bounce World has 25 years in the inflatable business. He is the person behind the safety, certification and park-rules pages on this site, and the one who answers the phone when a question is harder than a booking.
What stands behind the work
- 25 years in the inflatable business, and six years running mobile rock climbing walls.
- SIOTO certified operation — Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization, the inflatable industry's operator training and certification program. What that covers.
- Inflatable Operators Association safety training completed. The IOA requires members to operate to ASTM F2374. About the IOA.
- $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability, with certificates naming your school, church, park or venue as additional insured. How certificates work.
- Jefferson Parish Recreation approved vendor — one of only ten companies cleared to set up in JPRD parks. The JPRD rules.
Why this site is written the way it is
Most rental websites publish a phone number and a photo gallery. This one publishes the rules — because in this business the rules are what separate a party that goes well from one that does not, and almost nobody puts them where a customer can read them before booking.
Every safety and park page here is written from primary sources and cites them: ASTM F2374, the standard governing design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of inflatable amusement devices; SIOTO operator training; published Jefferson Parish Recreation Department vendor rules; venue requirements taken from the venues themselves; and Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 40 on inflatable amusement devices. Where a rule is uncertain or a venue has to be asked, the page says so rather than guessing.
How the operation runs
Bounce World runs three roles — office, warehouse, and delivery and pickup. Office and delivery staff are the ones you deal with. Delivery drivers are 25 or older with a clean driving record, because they are driving a truck full of equipment to your house on a schedule that has to hold.
Anchoring, blower placement, clearance and rider supervision are not improvised on the day. They follow the manufacturer specification for the unit and the training the crew has done. The full safety and certifications hub lays out all of it.
What I get asked most
Who owns Bounce World?
I do. Bounce World operates as The Big Fun Amusements & Events Co, DBA Bounce World, based in Kenner.
Can I talk to the owner?
Yes. Call (504) 467-9424 and ask. For park rules, insurance certificates or a setup on an unusual site, that is usually the fastest route.
Who writes the safety guidance here?
I do, from the sources listed above. If you find something on these pages that contradicts a rule your venue gives you, tell me — the venue is right and I want the page fixed.
What areas do you personally cover?
Metro New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, the Westbank, the River Parishes and the Northshore. Full delivery area.
Ask me something hard
Park rules, insurance wording, whether a unit fits your yard. I would rather answer it before you book than at your gate.
