Holy cow! Even those things you expect to be completely safe for
children to romp around in, can be dangerous. o_O

At least this article didn't mislead. I saw this on NBC nightly news
last night. While talking about it, they were saying how the kids
fell 15 ft, but were showing a video of the thing a couple hundred
feet up in the air. I had to play it back a few times, until I figured
out that the kids must have fallen out long before what they were
showing. It's still amazing. I wonder if there was any warning, ie
pick-up in the wind leading up to this, where parents should have
gotten the kids out, or if it just came up very quickly....

Heck, whenever I've put something down outside that I thought might blow
away, I had weights that would counteract the lift of any wind short of
a tornado. Ya know, those concrete traffic barriers that the highway
dept uses with the lift points on top would be a great safety
measure to tie to the inflatable bounce house. That would keep them from
flying away. ^__^

Really, the owner or manager of this "ride" would be liable for any harm to the kids in it. If he was aware that it was going to be windy that day, he could have envisioned the wind blowing that "ride" away while there were still kids inside it.

A couple of dog anchors from any pet shop would have held the bounce house down in just about any wind for only about $5 each.
