Arizona girl hurt when bounce house blows away

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

Two girls at a birthday party in Arizona were playing in a bounce house, when a “microburst” of wind picked up the bounce house, dumping one girl in the yard but carrying the other 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.

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

About two dozen roof tiles were shattered by the impact.
