Five children dead in Tasmanian jumping castle tragedy.
Five children have died in a freak jumping castle accident at a primary school in northwest Tasmania.
Tasmanian Police Commissioner Darren Hine confirmed two boys and two girls died in the incident on Thursday morning, and another five children were in hospital, four in a critical condition and one with serious injuries.
In a statement on Thursday evening police later confirmed a fifth child had died in hospital.
Tasmania Police said the children fell from a height of about 10 metres after the wind picked up the jumping castle and several inflatable Zorb balls.
