Six killed in Tasmania incident
In December 2021, six children were killed, when a dust devil lifted a jumping castle into the air in Devonport, Tasmania.
About 40 students from years 5/6 were taking part in the end-of-year activities at the school.
A gust of wind picked up a jumping castle, as well as several zorb balls - inflatable balls that people stand inside - and hurled them into the air.
Rosemary Anne Gamble, who set up the jumping castle at Hillcrest Primary School, was found not guilty in June of failing to comply with a health and safety duty.
The families of the children who were killed and injured launched a class action against the state of Tasmania and the jumping castle operator.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing in Saturday's incident in Bradfield.
