Children Injured Or Killed in Bounce House Accidents
Memorial Day, 2015
In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a sudden weather change sent a waterspout ashore rapidly and without warning, bringing forceful winds that have been estimated at between 65 and 85 miles per hour. After it came ashore on the Florida beach, it hit an inflated bouncy castle, tossing it into the air and sending three children to the hospital.
All 3 children were under 8 years old, and each fell from the bouncy house onto the sand as it lifted into the air. The Bouncy house was said to be properly inflated and tethered.
