Photos: 7-year-old Girl killed After Bouncy Castle she was Playing on is Blown 150 Metres

 A seven-year-old girl identified as Summer Grant by Essex Police, was Saturday killed when a bouncy castle was blown across a park in heavy winds.

A man and a woman, understood to be from the family-run bouncy castle firm, have been arrested by police on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.

East of England Ambulance Service said crews were called to Harlow Town Park shortly after 4pm to reports that a girl had been seriously injured when the bouncy castle she was on was blown around 150 metres.
The girl from Norwich was treated by ambulance crews and the Herts and Essex air ambulance and taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital, where she later died.

Families had gathered at Harlow Town Park in Essex on Saturday for the third day of the event organised by Thurston fun fairs over the holiday weekend.
Tributes have been laid at the scene of the fair, which is now closed as police and the Health and Safety Executive investigate.
Ray Smith, a representative of the Showmans Guild of Great Britain, said: ‘It was a sudden gust. Had it been a consistent wind they would have closed down all the inflatables.’

Asked about how the inflatables were set up he said: ‘I know the (Thurston) family and I am very confident they had staked it out properly.
‘Obviously there is a full investigation to be held into how this could have happened and to make sure it can never ever happen again.’
Last year a bouncy castle collapsed while children were playing on it during a funfair in the same park. It was reported at the time that three children had to be treated by paramedics when the inflatable castle collapsed on them.

Harlow Council officers visited the site following the incident last May and suggested a number of health and safety improvements, including better stewarding of the event.
