Bouncy Castle Accident in South Africa Leaves Two Children Injured

A sudden gust of wind turned a school event in South Africa into a scene of terror. A bouncy castle, lifted 12 meters into the air, sent two children plummeting to the ground. One child suffered a skull fracture, the other a broken arm. "It happened so fast," said one parent who witnessed the event. "I just reacted instinctively and tried to catch the child." The quick actions of several parents, forming a human 'landing pad,' likely prevented even more serious injuries. The school confirmed both children were released from the hospital and are receiving trauma care. This incident echoes a similar tragedy in Tasmania in 2021, where six children died in a bouncy castle accident. This event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety precautions at events involving inflatable structures.
