Who Are Addison Stewart and Zane Gardam, and What Do They Do? Accident at the Jumping Castle
On Thursday morning, Addison Stewart and Zane Gardam were among the year 5 and year 6 pupils at Hillcrest Primary School who gathered to celebrate the end of the school year with a ‘Big Day In’.
Addison, who died in hospital, was remembered by friends and family as a kind and gentle old soul, while those who know Zane praised him for having a beautiful, caring, and sensitive disposition. Addison’s death was a shock to the community.
When a gust of wind swept a jumping castle into the air, a section of the inflatable became entangled in a nearby tree, endangering the safety of the youngsters who were on it.
A height of around 10 metres is estimated to have been reached by the two young people. Parents were urged to bring up their children from school as soon as the scale of the calamity became obvious.
Aside from that, various fundraisers have been organised to assist the families of the kids who perished as a result of this tragedy, as well as other members of the school community.
