Magistrates in Tasmania said the inflatable was lifted into the air by an ‘unprecedented weather system’ and dismissed the charges against Rosemary Gamble
An Australian woman whose bouncy castle was blown into the air by a freak wind event, killing six children, was found not guilty on Friday of failing to meet her health and safety duties.
In December 2021, a gust of wind lifted the inflatable castle about 10 metres (33 feet) into the air while children were celebrating the end of their year at a primary school in Devonport, northern Tasmania.
Six children died and three were seriously injured.
Rosemary Gamble, owner of party equipment company Taz-Zorb that operated the bouncy castle, was charged with failing to comply with a workplace health and safety duty.
