Terrible and heartbreaking. Everyone likely just wanted the kids to have fun, and somehow it ended in tragedy. We should wait for the facts before judging what happened. My thoughts are with the family.

Generally the policy of this blog has not been to recklessly place blame. But there’s bound to be some coroner’s advice to tie or weight these things down, once a report is made.

Kate. I wasn’t criticizing your post, and I’m sorry if it came across that way.
I appreciate you sharing the facts as always. I was only reacting to the tragedy itself, and trying to express my gut feeling that everyone likely just wanted the kids to have a fun day.

The number of bouncy castle mishaps across the world isn’t saying major, high risk item that no one should ever use again. Not saying there shouldn’t be some further rules about safety, and this is a real tragedy, but it seems to be a fluke.
