How very sad.

It was a freak accident- very tragic indeed. The bouncy castles are light and big. So this kind of a tragedy was waiting to happen on a windy day. So how can they be prevented? New legislations are required, especially because childrens lives are in danger.

🥺🥺🥺 RIP

May they all rest in peace with the Lord such a sad tragedy 🙏💙

Horrible

Crazy to think falling 30 feet is enough to kill you.

Prayers for all the families of these children🙏🙏

They deserve it for unleashing Rubert Murdoch to the world!

Wtf

Horrible my sincere condolences to the families. SIP Lil babies. So sad

What a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the families.💔

At least the weren’t run over by a African American criminal in a SUV during a parade

Heartbreaking...

How did a large balloon/bouncy castle explode and catapult 30 feet into the sky, with just Air in side...? That just does not happen without a serious form of internal pressure.. Was this bouncy castle over filled with Air..? Without a doubt, the owner is responsible..

So very sad.

My condolence and prays for all involved, may God hold you through these hardest times.

That's awful. Next thing u know they will be out clawing bouncy castle. Seems to me they could figure out a way to anchor them better.

Need to ban these and...duckboats.

😭😭😭

Morrison, don't act like you care of those kids !

Praying for the families 🙏

My heart is breaking at the thought. I am so 😢

💔

Wow, there are no words.. 😥

So sad Rip

Heartbreaking! My Prayers n thoughts with the family

Why the hell wasn't it tethered down? We had a similar accident in the UK 😪

So sad and painful our Prayers goes out to the families and Australia.

The bouncy houses and other inflatables are safe when done professionally. But many who get in the business do not follow the proper rules of securing them because of either lack of knowledge, surface they are set up on being hard to secure to or just laziness.

Ужасс.

😢🙏💙

jaketapper This has been such a heartbreaking time here. To happen at all is horrific. To happen at Christmas time makes it infinitely sadder. The whole country is crying over this.

Don't you have to fasten them down

Sending condolences to the families 🙏🏾

Heartbreaking news... No child should die under such circumstances! My prayers and thoughts with their families!

6th child dies after bouncy castle accidentA sixth child has died from his injuries following Thursday's bouncy castle tragedy at an Australian school. It's not an 'unthinkable' tragedy. Wind gust blowing away children's playhouse happened several times in the past. Wizard of Oz even mentioned it. The part that's unthinkable is the grossly inadequate preventive measures. This just breaks my heart. Bouncy castles are more dangerous than people think. First of all they need to be staked intro the ground. I've heard of several incidents where wind has lifted the darn things. 💔💔 This is just absolutely heartbreaking 💔 for so many reasons.
