澳大利亚周六发生两起充气城堡被强风吹起的事故，共造成5名儿童住院1。其中维州Geelong地区发生一起事故导致2名儿童上身受伤，悉尼地区另一起事故造成2名儿童和1名婴儿受伤1。据气象部门预报，Geelong地区当日风速预计达90公里/小时，而悉尼实测风速达80公里/小时1。
作为游乐设施安全专家，事件评论人士指出，充气城堡在符合安全规范并正确操作的条件下通常是安全的，但极端天气构成最大风险1。根据澳大利亚标准AS 3533.4.1:2018的规定，充气游乐设施应在风速超过40公里/小时时停止使用1。此外，进口不合规产品和监管执行的漏洞也构成了安全隐患1。专家建议运营商检查产品是否符合相关标准，并利用博福特风级等方法准确测定风速1。
2021年塔斯马尼亚Hillcrest小学曾发生风灾事件，造成6名儿童死亡、3人重伤1，这类事故并非孤例。
Two separate incidents involving inflatable jumping castles being swept up by strong winds occurred across Australia on Saturday, resulting in hospitalizations of five children.1 In Geelong, Victoria, two children sustained upper body injuries when a jumping castle was lifted by the wind, while in Sydney, two children and one infant were similarly injured in a second incident.1
Weather conditions at the time posed significant hazards, with wind speeds forecast to reach 90 kilometers per hour in Geelong and measured at 80 kilometers per hour in Sydney.1 According to safety standards, inflatable amusement rides should cease operations when wind speeds exceed 40 kilometers per hour.1 An amusement ride safety expert notes that while jumping castles are generally safe when they comply with safety regulations and are operated correctly, extreme weather represents the greatest risk to users.1 Australia's standard AS 3533.4.1:2018 establishes safety requirements for inflatable amusement devices.1
The incidents highlight ongoing safety concerns within the industry.1 Beyond extreme weather conditions, regulatory gaps and the circulation of non-compliant imported products pose additional hazards.1 These concerns are underscored by a previous tragedy: in 2021, a jumping castle accident at Hillcrest Primary School in Tasmania claimed six children's lives and left three others severely injured.1 Operators and consumers are advised to verify that products meet the AS 3533.4.1 standard and to use the Beaufort scale to assess wind conditions before allowing use.1
