Why is it not a state amusement law that outdoor bounce houses be sufficiently tied down at numerous points where the bounce house contacts the ground ?

Like a tent is tied down with rope and pegs banged into the soil to hold it in place. So if a strong wind happens by the tent or the fun bounce house does not go airborne like a kite ?
