Bouncy castles must be included in recreational safety regulations

TWO CHILDREN WERE killed and 20 others, including 18 children, were injured, among whom one child is seriously injured, after strong winds flipped over and carried away an inflatable bouncer in Yucheng county, Central China's Henan province on Sunday. ThePaper.cn comments:

Video clips shot on smartphones capturing the havoc went viral on the internet. Although many have called the tragedy an accident, there have been similar fatal incidents involving bouncy castles in recent years in different places. It seems that the lessons are never learned.

In fact, there are no safety rules or regulations covering the bouncy castles, which can be as large as a big building.
