The Charles County 911 Public Safety Communications received reports Friday night that a bounce house became airborne at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, about 56 miles south of Baltimore, where the the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball team was playing.
Two children who were in the bounce house when it became airborne were transported to the hospital, according to a press release from Charles County:
“We extend our deepest empathy to the children and their families during this difficult time,” said Reuben B. Collins II Esq., the Charles County Government commissioner president, in a statement. “We thank our EMS team and the Maryland State Police for their swift actions to ensure the children received immediate care.”
The bounce house flew about 15 to 20 feet up in the air while children were inside of it. The children fell out of the bounce house midair before it landed onto the playing field, according to a press release from Charles County.
Emergency personnel who were stationed at the stadium for the game, trainers from the baseball team and volunteer first responders in attendance all began administering medical care.
