Safe play

Two stories in the news this morning bothered me somewhat. Firstly, this one about a bouncy castle that took off and injured two children in Arizona - why was it not tethered? It's standard practice that all inflatables should be anchored! Even worse is this story of a 3-year-old boy who died after falling out of a rollercoaster in Chicago. Awful. Apparently he "got under the safety bar" - how was this possible?
