freaks76 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sounds to me like they don't need to have inflatables there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A 50mph wind gust shouldn't be enough to pull stakes out of the ground or rip the bouncy house from the loops that the stakes go through. Definitely sounds like someone just set it up and didn't bother anchoring it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 This reminds me of when I would go on RideAccidents.com and see a new story like this every other week. http://www.rideaccidents.com/inflatables.html I read that site, too. It was the day before this that I had mentioned to my niece that in my mind, the most dangerous amusement rides were inflatables. They didn't believe me at first. There are so many documented accidents with these attractions, and so many documented, I'm chagrined that the same accidents keep happening over and over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
