I used to work at events - I never had anything to do with bouncy castles, but if there was any wind strength, they would either not be put up at all, or be closed down if it started to even mildly gust, beyond 30 km/hr sounds about right. I'm not sure if someone just wasn't on the ball with this one, or it was a freak wind that came out of nowhere.
