Four injured after inflatable castle goes airborne

Safety / Attractions / Play / Entertainment

Four teenagers have been hospitalised as a result of injuries sustained when strong winds flipped over a jumping castle near Geelong last Saturday (1st November).

Wind lifted the inflatable jumping castle with an attached slide four metres off the ground while it was in use at a birthday party at The Grange in Bannockburn.

The incident was widely reported in the media.

For information on the safe operation of inflatable jumping castles go to the Australian Amusement Association website at www.aaarides.org.au
