On 5/21/21 at 12:12 AM EDT
Four Arizona kids have been injured in the second incident this week of bounce houses being lifted by the wind.
The most recent incident occurred on Thursday afternoon. The bounce house was used in a birthday party at a neighborhood park in Mesa, Arizona. Several kids were playing inside when strong winds sent it flying into the air around 4 p.m. local time.
The wind sent the bounce house flying several feet, witnesses told KPHO-TV. Four children, ages 5 to 11, suffered moderate to severe injuries as a result. The children went to a nearby hospital, but their specific injuries and current conditions remain unclear.
