Two young boys were injured after a “bouncy house” was swept away by a gust of wind Monday afternoon. Three children were inside the play structure when the wind lifted the inflatable toy 50 feet into the air. The three kids, ages 5, 6, and 10, fell out of the toy. The two boys were seriously injured. The girl suffered minor scrapes and bruises Parents say one boy landed on a parked car, the other landed on asphalt. Glens Falls Police are not releasing the victim’s names or conditions but say the one boy who landed on pavement was conscious and talking at the scene.

who the hell thinks "let me take a picture of that?!"

I would be freaking out! Hope everyone is ok

So would I - but the article would indicate that the kids had already fallen out by this point. The "house" in the picture would be empty - and still flying.

Comments are priceless. Because if you watch the piece, they throw out the stat that 30 whole children are hurt in bouncy houses EVERY FREAKIN YEAR!!!!!!! Comments range from "OMG, my kids are never playing in a bouncy house again!!!!!, "And parents should remember, those things are never properly sanitized anyway" to "Get over it, stuff happens" and "Good, kids need to be more exposed to bacteria and such"

Sad to say in todays day and age, most everyone with a cell phone that takes pictures.....so, most everyone.
Also, the picture may be useful for insurance purposes. :shrug:


On a side note, this gave me a flashback of the Bubble Boy.

At that distance you wouldn't know if kids were inside or not. You just see a giant bouncy house flying away. Horrifying, nonetheless.
