My kids always want to go in these things.
Who knew..
Thats a bouncy house that got picked up by the wind and went over 50 feet into the air.
The kids were thrown out of it before it got that high but several were hurt pretty bad.

SOUTH GLENS FALLS -- Two young boys were seriously hurt late Monday afternoon when a gust of wind blew an inflatable "bounce house" structure into the air with three children inside, tossing two to asphalt from at least 15 feet above ground.
The boys, ages 5 and 6, were taken to Albany Medical Center, where they were admitted for serious injuries. One suffered a traumatic head injury, officials said. A 10-year-old girl who was inside suffered minor scrapes when she fell, according to her mother.

Yeah mate there was a nasty in England a few years ago...people died.... :(
Wow, I hadn't heard of this sort of thing before. Seems logical enough that you'd need pretty sturdy anchors. I mean, no offense to carnies, but they've been doing it without (apparent?) incident for years. Fuckin amateurs must be running this show. That pic is gonna be Exhibit A in a lawsuit from Hell...not that money is really the point. But, you know, money is gonna be the point for somebody.
