Bouncy House Plot Bunny

[3113]

In case you're not familiar with such things, this is a bounce house:

Kiddies go inside and bounce around on the inflated flooring. One would think this wasn't dangerous, and usually it's not. Unless....

A gust of wind picked up a bounce house with two girls playing inside Saturday, dumping one girl in the yard but carrying the other girl two houses away and dropping her onto a roof.

The incident in the town of Marana left a 10-year-old with serious head lacerations and other injuries. She was taken to a trauma center in Tucson after firefighters got her off the roof.

Northwest Fire District spokesman Adam Goldberg says the two girls were at birthday party when what family members called a microburst" picked up the bounce house.

The 10-year-old was carried more than 100 feet before falling out onto the house. Her 7-year-old friend had minor injuries.

I see an interesting, modern-day Wizard of Oz story here....

At least the bounce house was equipped with air bags.
