Hearing into Hillcrest Primary School jumping castle tragedy underway

In Devonport, Tasmania, witnesses described a “mini tornado” carrying a jumping castle into the air, resulting in the tragic deaths of six children and serious injuries to three others. Rosemary Anne Gamble, operator of Taz-Zorb, is facing charges of failing to comply with safety standards, as the prosecution alleges that the pegs used to secure the castle did not meet Australian standards and only four were used instead of the required eight.
