I should be more respectful.

They should have played it safe and had the carnival inside one of these things:

I’ve been hearing more and more about these accidents. There should be a better way to stabilize and secure these bouncey houses.

What do they call it on the insurance claim? Act of God?

Is it time for another wave on non-anchored bouncy castles? We went through this like 10 years in Tucson, every other weekend one was going airborne because apparently the people who run those things don’t know what those ropes and anchors are for.

I love how the church is offering nothing more than “prayers”. Um, when you failed to anchor this thing safely, you’re now responsible for paying for any medical treatment these kids needed.

It’s a simple matter of anchoring the bounce house and checking the weather report, to see if there will be windy conditions that day. If they can’t take those simple precautions, maybe they should start praying for God to give them a little common sense.

Scary! We almost rented one for the grandkids. Now, no way. This isn’t the first one that flew off.

I was just thinking about the bounce house problem a couple days ago when we were having extremely fun winds. Really folks, tie em down, know how tie downs work, and if the wind is getting above a dozen miles an hour don’t even do them.
