Other people are also injured in the incident. Coverage varies on exact counts, but outlets report that several children and adults were hurt, with one report citing 11 people injured overall and another citing injuries to three other children and six adults. The death and injuries prompt renewed attention to the safety risks associated with inflatable play structures during windy conditions and the need for appropriate precautions at outdoor events.
