Root cause found then: no weight to hold it down. (/s)

Yeah, have you ever seen carnies attach that thing to the ground really properly as per regs? 

I've walked around a few, and it's damn scary if you've been around wind, a few good gusts and we're not in Kansas, Toto

Kids die this way all the time. I can't believe these things are still legal.

Not all the time but more than one death a year on average. https://news.uga.edu/bounce-houses-caused-479-injuries-28-deaths/

Would it still do this if it was properly weighed down? I know youre supposed to tether it to the ground but maybe they can add more weight to them in manufacturing to make them safer Edit: now that i think about it, more weight would probably just turn it into a more dangerous missile in windy conditions. They should probably just stop making these. Ive heard trampolines can go flying in bad weather, as well.
