Some people, including an MP, are calling for a ban on bouncy castles. There was a tragic accident yesterday due to the misuse of a bouncy castle...

Why not cut to the chase and just ban fun instead?

Apparently yes it was tethered to the ground but broke away, until a full investigation is completed I just think folk jumping on the ban this ban that because of an incident is just over the top.

Not forgetting the tragic loss of a child's life, in the scheme of things how many bouncy castles are in use against how many fatalities occur, the percentage must be negligible.

It's a tragic freak accident

I'm glad there's someone like the M.P. to make a fuss.

His fussing will at least help toward thorough investigations.

This is NOT an isolated incident. Although there have not been an enormous amount of deaths on inflatables there have been more than there should be.

There was an accident with one last year in the same fair.

We might get tighter controls out of this and that would be a good thing.

What should people say to the family ? Oh bad luck about your dead daughter but that's life ?

NO! A huge investigation please and changes to safety procedures.

It is NOT a freak accident.

High winds were forecast for that day.

There had been an incident the previous year.

The castle should not have been inflated.

I don't think it could have had sufficient 'grounding' if it broke free and took off in a strong gust.

Negligence.

Someone without due regard made a mistake in which a child died.

Stupid mistakes/incompetence sadly cause death and injury all the time.

We scoff at health and safety, but this is what happens when there are no checks. Theme parks stop rides in high winds, someone should have thought this a bad idea, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Those poor parents and the owner of the bouncy castle too. A fun day ending so tragically.

Ban them? No, just ensure they are securely tethered, inflated and monitored.

An friend of mine hired these things bouncy castles etc out for a while. I seem to recall on private hire he arrived, inflated it, tethered it etc then cam back later to collect it.

What happened in between I assume was covered by a disclaimer. The only time he would be there throughout was when they we're hired for public events.

Sad situation regardless of the whats, hows & buts.

Yup.

In my line of work, I find the people who drone on about "health and safety gone mad" are the ones who go mad if something goes awry because not enough care was taken.

i might be wrong but this appears to have happened at a public event in which case there would have been an elf n safety officer there. People would also have been required to do risk assesments and the bouncy castle should have been checked by the safety officer.

More importantly a risk assessment would have been submitted and approved. That should/would have included emergency action plans which should have described defined actions under specific climate conditions.

No significant stormy conditions ground anchors would be ineffectual and as such there should have been a decision made by a person of suitable responsibility to deflate and evacuate.

Sadly tho mistakes and freak weather happen. You can't legislate for everything

The right action in this case is investigate, find root causes, and put countermeasures in place to prevent it/

them happening again. Banning bouncy castles is an overreaction and prevents people from learning the appropriate lessons from a tragic incident.

Big companies don't get prosecuted because they follow h&s legislation. They employ people to look at this . Unfortunately small business owners don't or can't afford to take h&s seriously. Then end result is the loss of a very young life.

I'm on the fence until the investigation has been completed.

Given the history of the event I would be very surprised if the manufacturers and sites safety instructions hadn't been complied with.

The issue is it was a freak gust.

If the wind had been at a constant high speed it is very likely that the castle would have been deflated or not in use.

If a branch was blown of a council owned tree onto a car, causing a death would we be crying out for a negligence charge to be raised against the council for failing to remove the branch?

The people that hired out the castle may still have a duty of care to their customers. No different to a hire company hiring a chain saw to an un-qualified person. OK you may not need a ticket to put a bouncy castle up but perhaps with the weather forecast like it is perhaps it shouldn`t have gone out for hire in the first place!

It was an accident. Do we ban bicycles ? Skateboards ? Scooters ? Children must be allowed too be children. Laugh , sing and play. Yes take precautions but never take away a child's childhood. We cannot wrap children up in cotton wall. By the sound of it in some way an adult is at blame. I do feel sorry for the parents , they must be heartbroken. Children need to be allowed to run , jump and enjoy life. Remember thousands of children in this country are in the care system because of bad parenting or because of some kind of abuse. We should focus our attention on that rather than banning play equipment. I'm sure if health and safety were followed this accident might never of happened. Keep bouncing on the castles and ban people who cannot follow simple Health and safety guidelines.

This is an emotive subject, I live near to where the incident occurred and whilst not directly affected, I know people who were at the fair when this tragic incident happened. End of the day, no one for certain knows what caused it, but the result is tragic and it shouldn't be forgotten that a life has been lost far far too soon.

I'm all for some forum banter, but on this thread, respect should be shown, maybe I'm biased but it's my view.

Regarding banning bouncy castles, I understand why it's being said, but until a thorough investigation is carried out it's nothing more than the media shouting.

Yes people have been arrested, doesn't mean anything until they are charged. When a serious incident occurs it's not uncommon for someone to be arrested in the first instance.

Thoughts go out to the family and friends of the little girl. RIP Summer.

I meant the trampoline. I had a golf practice net in my garden I took down one year when it was forecast high winds. I didn't want it blown into someone's garden. My tree however did fall over,that was something I couldn't have predicted.

Ps. He does. Read the profile. I can live with being bollocked for being crass, but to be quite frank that level of unverified and unwarranted tosh is far worse. Tactless flippancy is subjective and I've accepted that I misjudged the discussion and have apologised.

I can understand all the things said about the owners of the bouncy castle, but what about the parents? Did they really think it was a good idea to let their daughter on a bouncy castle in those high winds?

We have stopped our grandchildren using them in the past because of the wet and/or windy conditions, because of the dangers. This is not the first time it has happened and parents need to learn to say no to their children

But they have paid the price for that. They have lost a daughter who was probably their little princess. Yes, they should have been able to trust the judgment of the owners of the castle, but parents are responsible for making the decisions to use it or not.

Won't be a popular post, but that is how I feel!

Sorry... You are now on that particular banned list.

More importantly, we need to remember a child died. Our hearts go out to her parents, family and friends.

We also feel for the owners and operators of the attraction who had to go to bed that night wondering if a decision they made brought Summer's life to an early and tragic end.

"I'd personally guess no one was actually calling for them to be banned until the Daily Mail ran a front page story that there were growing calls to ban bouncy castles and nicely whipped up some hysteria.

The BBC reported:

Conservative MP for Harlow Robert Halfon said in a statement he would be asking for an "urgent inquiry" and to consider whether bouncy castles "should be banned from Harlow town fairs, until we can be sure that they are completely safe, so such a horrific tragedy never happens again".

That sounds far more sensible that bouncy castles should be banned completely and for evermore.

My thoughts are with the family, friends and the emergency workers involved.

Ads sent me a couple of pictures from the town park earlier, the distance the bouncy castle went was horrendous!! I can't help but feel so sad for her in their all alone. He also sent me pictures of all the lovely flowers and cards, it was heartwarming to see so many people cared (although they didn't know her obviously) and they have raised over £5000 to see the little girl off properly. My heart really does go out to her family
