HONG KONG – Four children died in Australia on Thursday when 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 10:00 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.

Emergency services personnel work the scene of a deadly incident involving a bouncy castle at the Hillcrest Primary School in Devonport, Tasmania state, Australia, on Dec. 16th, 2021. Multiple children have died and others are in critical condition after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted 10 meters into the air by a gust of wind at the school.

“On a day where these children were meant to be celebrating their last day at primary school, instead we are all mourning their loss,” Police Commissioner Darren Hine said.

Two girls and two boys were killed, police said. Another five children were rushed to the hospital with serious injuries, police said. The students were in 5th and 6th grade, officials said.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the incident "unthinkably heartbreaking."

"Young children on a fun day out together with their families and it turns to such horrific tragedy, at this time of year, it just breaks your heart," Morrison said.

Police said a "significant local wind event" caused the castle to lift about 10 meters, or 32 feet, off the ground.

Two helicopters and other emergency vehicles rushed to the scene in Devonport within minutes of the incident, police said.

Police said they've launched an investigation with help from WorkSafe Tasmania, the country's workplace-safety regulator.

I'm guessing it wasn't secured to the ground and I dunno if they ever do such a thing.
They will now, probably.

I dunno about Oz but if this was America you bet there would be lawsuits.

Tragic and I don't think Oz will be seeing bouncing castles around for a while.

Someone's head is going to roll.

I believe it was 5 kids that died.
