Five-Year-Old Dies in Maryland Bounce House Incident

A tragic incident occurred at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, Maryland, where a bouncy castle was lifted 15 to 20 feet into the air by strong winds during a baseball game, resulting in the death of a five-year-old boy and injuries to another child. The children were inside the inflatable when it became airborne, causing them to fall to the ground before it landed on the field. Emergency responders were on-site and provided immediate care, but the boy was later pronounced dead at a local children's hospital, while the second child sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball team expressed condolences and postponed their following game, offering support to affected families. Weather reports indicated strong storm conditions were expected that evening, which may have contributed to the incident. This heart-wrenching event has prompted a community outpouring of sympathy and support for the families involved.
