In this security footage from a town fair near Shanghai on October 5, you can see a bouncy castle full of children lift up, up and ... over.

One child sustained a fractured skull while as many as 30 other sustained lighter injuries.

The owner of the bouncy castle operation agreed to pay for all the children’s medical expenses because they didn’t secure the structure to the ground in any way.
