5-year-old boy dies when wind gust sends bounce house airborne at Maryland baseball game

A 5-year-old boy died and a second child was injured when strong winds sent a bounce house airborne during a baseball game Friday night in Waldorf, Maryland, officials said.

The incident occurred at about 9:20 p.m. local time at Regency Furniture Stadium during a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs game, Charles County officials said in a news release.

Several children were playing inside the bounce house adjacent to the playing field when a wind gust sent it about 15 to 20 feet into the air, the county said. The children fell out of the bounce house before it landed on the playing field.
