US Edition‘I Hope It Haunts You’: Mum Lashes Out After Jumping Castle Tragedy Verdict
- In December 2021, a dust devil lifted a jumping castle at Hillcrest Primary School in Tasmania, killing six children and injuring three.
- Rosemary Gamble, owner of Taz-Zorb, was charged with not meeting workplace health and safety obligations related to the setup of the jumping castle but entered a plea of not guilty.
- Magistrate Robert Webster dismissed the charge on June 6, 2025, ruling the dust devil was unforeseeable and anchoring failures were not a significant cause.
- Families conveyed their sorrow and frustration, with one mother shouting that she hopes Gamble is haunted by each occasion her children miss, such as birthdays and holidays, while Gamble’s representative expressed remorse, stating they never intended for such a tragedy to occur.
- After the verdict, the families initiated a group lawsuit targeting Gamble and the Tasmanian government, seeking justice amid ongoing legal and emotional challenges.
