Bouncy Castle kills -Avery Yoss 4th
This Sunday at an Easter party, there was a bouncy that children were playing in. One specific girl, Summer Grant, happened to be in the bouncy castle when a gust of wind hit and started blowing it around. The girl was tossed around inside and had to immediately go to the hospital afterwards and then later died of her injuries. The article mentions that two people who were charged for manslaughter after this event.
The article doesn't mention how they are related to the situation, maybe they ordered the bouncy house or maybe they set it up. This is such a sad story, especially since she was at such a young age.

That's so sad, and I always wondered how those things are supposed to stand still in high winds. I've seen trampolines in the air before.
