5 children die - jumping castle

That is what I was thinking.

Who erected it? Was it secured well?
Did they have forecasts of windy gusts?
Was it located in a local wind tunnel zone?

People vastly underestimated the lift force of winds.
Especially school teachers.

I can't find any comments on how the castle was secured to the ground.

Five children died in Australia on Thursday after wind lifted the bouncy castle they were in about 32 feet into the air, local police said.

Nine children were in the castle at about 10 a.m. local time when it fell to the ground, Tasmania Police said in a statement. The students at Hillcrest Primary School had been celebrating the end of the school year, the statement said.

This is the sort of news I wish I hadn't been told.

Which is a sad indictment of the teachers tertiary education.
