List of State Regulations and Amusement Safety Officials
When starting a jump center you’ll need to consider safety regulations. These regulations may be set on a city, county or state level. Most states have safety regulations that cover amusement rides and outdoor rental companies, however not all cities or states may have safety regulations specific to indoor jump centers. It’s your job to find out and make sure you adhere to these regulations.
Below you’ll find a list of State Amusement Ride Safety Agencies and Contacts. Be sure to contact the official in charge to get detailed information regarding safety regulation of indoor jump centers in your city or state as most of these agencies primarily deal with amusement parts or carnival rides. In some states regulation and inspections are done by your local city, not state.

They may use their own certified inspectors or alternatively they may authorize the use of an approved third party agency. Each locality obtains the amusement device inspection stickers directly from DHCD for distribution.
