A bouncy castle with children flew up 12 meters

The incident occurred during a charity event at Laerskool Protearif Primary School in Krugersdorp. Due to a strong gust of wind, the unsecured ride lifted off the ground and into the air. At that moment, there were children inside.

One child lost his grip on the flying castle and fell to the ground. The second one fell after him. Although bystanders tried to soften the fall by lining up at the bottom, both were seriously injured. The victims were taken to hospital. One was diagnosed with a cracked skull, and the other with a broken arm.
