FAQ - Austin & San Antonio, TX Mechanical Bull Rentals | Sky High Party Rentals

Question 1

What safety features does the mechanical bull have?

Accepted Answer

Our mechanical bull is equipped with a soft head to minimize the risk of injury, making it safer than many other models.

Question 2

How do you control the mechanical bull during operation?

Accepted Answer

We provide an attendant for the mechanical bull to operate the mechanical bull controls. The bull can be controlled using six automatic programs of varying difficulty or through a manual joystick for more precise control. The speed dials adjust the manual ride speed, while the automatic programs are preset for ease of use.

Question 3

What should riders do to prepare before riding the mechanical bull?

Accepted Answer

Riders must remove footwear, eyewear, and any sharp objects. They should read the rules of play, sign a waiver, and be verbally warned about the possibility of being thrown off. Riders must adopt the correct riding position facing forward at all times.

Question 4

How many riders are allowed on the mechanical bull at once?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons, only ONE rider is allowed on the mechanical bull at any one time.

Question 5

Are there any restrictions on who can ride the mechanical bull?

Accepted Answer

Yes, riders must meet certain height and weight criteria—minimum 48 inches in height and a maximum weight of 300lbs. Additionally, individuals who are pregnant, under the influence, or have certain medical conditions should not ride.

Question 6

How does the Emergency Stop feature work?

Accepted Answer

In an emergency, we press the Emergency Stop button and remove the key, then switch off the main power. This will halt the ride immediately.

Question 7

Can the mechanical bull be used outdoors in any weather?

Accepted Answer

We often set up the mechanical bull inside and outside. The bull should not be operated in the rain or snow due to the risk of electrocution. In the event of sudden bad weather, riders should be evacuated, and the equipment should be covered and moved to a sheltered area.

Question 8

What are the power requirements for the mechanical bull?

Accepted Answer

The system operates on 110 volts single-phase electricity at 60htz, drawing 16 amps, and the blower requires 7 amps. A 5KVA diesel-powered generator with a power surge protector is recommended if a portable generator is used.

Question 9

What are the space and weight specifications for setting up the mechanical bull?

Accepted Answer

The recommended operating space is 20’ x 20’ with 10’ headroom.

Question 10

How does the soft head feature of the mechanical bull enhance safety?

Accepted Answer

The soft head, made from our unique Sofolex Soft Foam, significantly reduces the risk of injury upon contact. This innovation, introduced in 2005, has not only improved safety but also contributed to lowering insurance premiums by 65-75% worldwide.

Question 11

What is the process for setting up the mechanical bull at an event?

Accepted Answer

The setup is streamlined and efficient, typically taking an average of 20 minutes. It involves assembling the motion base, attaching the bull, setting up the inflatable cushion, and connecting the control console. We provide the complete setup for events.

Yes, for kids or riders under 48 inches we recommend our kids mechanical bull.
