PyroKinesis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just saw this on the news. Sometimes people are so fascinated with waterspouts that they forget that these things can easily become tornadoes if they come ashore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureThrills Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm just glad the kids were not killed. My prayers for the little ones that were injured. That is one flight I would not want to take. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A beach is not the proper place for a bounce house anyway - it should only be used when anchored to the ground (which they usually are when seen at fairs, etc.). Hopefully the kids will make a full recovery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A bounce house that is anchored to the ground can, in fact, be uprooted if you try hard enough. I had one in my backyard for my high school graduation party. Turns out they aren't really designed to accommodate 10-15 teenagers at a time. Nobody was hurt, so we had a good laugh about it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I agree that they're still not completely safe even when anchored to the ground, but it certainly helps. I don't know if this one was anchored or not, but sand isn't going to be strong enough to hold one of those down in most cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
