I never rent out inflatables if winds are over 14mph because of situations like these. I’ll rather loose out on the $ then anybody getting hurt or worse. People can say “you need to secure them better or stakes weren’t deep enough†ect but in reality very secured units can still fly away it’s like a huge balloon once wind goes under the inflated bounce house and winds pick up BAD it’s going to bye bye 👋.
Isn’t it time we ban the rentals of these and only allow them to be in one place, tethered to the ground in some way? Or at the very least rent them with tie-downs? Then it’s the parents fault if this happens.
Didn't use anchor/sandbags to hold it down happens alot on windy days.
How many times does this have to happen before parents start being responsible and checking the weather BEFORE letting the kids play in bouncy houses?
Scary how dangerous these bouncy houses are in the wind. No matter how good you tie them down in a good wind it will pull right out of the ground. It is best not to have one up in a bad wind or children anywhere near one.

That kid almost got taken out…soooo close. Whew! 😳 Glad everyone is okay!
We have owned two jumping castles going on 16 years now. You always have to make sure that there is good weather and it is secured down properly. Parents do not take a shortcut.

Funny how the moms didn’t know where the kids were
You don't get to do the news anymore. Remind us how "everything" is Trump's fault losers! Russian Operative. You lost all credibility, and we are watching you FAIL. You would triple your viewership if you did real news like investigate lying cheating Hillary. Russian Operative. You didn't give the man a chance and said horrific and TRAITORIST lies. We won't just blow this off. Now Hunters Laptop!!!
Michael took off!!! Dude, my be young, but he knew the assignment.ðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Typical trump retards
This exact thing killed 6 Australian school kids last December. Need to anchor the thing down.
There's like 4 adults how does not a single one of them know where any of the small children are. Yikes
Good thing mom had such a swift reaction to her kids in danger lol

One look at the trees would tell you: not good day for bouncy house
There goes your inflatable house
Everyone has taken there eyes off the road at some point, maybe looked away while there kid was at a park, negligence does exist, but things and mistakes and poor judgments do happen, and the people in this comment threads are now experts on every aspect of these peoples lives from a 47 second video should maybe look deeper into there own lives…

Those spikes weren’t deep enough in the ground to protect the bounce house.

The bounce house should have been tied down better and the PARENTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT THERE SUPERVISING BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BOUNCE HOUSES CAN FLY OFF IN A WIND!!!
If only it said repeatedly in the instructions that it must be anchored to the ground ðŸ¤â€
