The bouncy castle was lifted into the air by a gust of wind and dropped

Edit: watching a statement from police on TV RN and theyve confirmed four children have died.

Several children fell from a height of about 10 metres

WTF was it a tornado or what. That's high

Something about this seemed really familiar.... turns out it isn't the first time it's happened.

The link might not even be the first but it's the one I remember.

I would've expected the same, but thinking back to when I've actually used one, nope, they're not. Mind you, the people in charge were smart enough to put an un-tied one indoors at least.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to Trumble look more like?

It's a bouncy castle. Regardless of its actual mass, its net density is going to be pretty damn low, and there's a lot of surface area.

If its similar to the bounce house I got for my nieces a couple years ago, not bolted, but it should come with loops and stakes that youd hammer into the ground for this specific fly-away issue

That happened in my home town once but I don't think anyone died or anything.

These are the kids who lost their lives. Absolutely heartbreaking. I don't think anyone who was there will ever be the same. I feel so fucking bad for the parents and teachers too. All regretting a single decision to take those kids to school on the last day or organizing the day. It's just all so damn tragic.

Three more kids in critical condition. I hope they pull through.
