That headline was not stolen from The Onion. This really happened, just yesterday in fact. Two of the three kids were hospitalized as a result. This is the pic floating around the web today.

Some details have emerged from the incident and HOLY HELL, it sounds like a complete nightmare.
Two young boys were seriously hurt late Monday afternoon when a gust of wind blew an inflatable “bounce house” structure into the air with three children inside, tossing two to asphalt from at least 15 feet above ground.
The boys, ages 5 and 6, were taken to Albany Medical Center, where they were admitted for serious injuries. One suffered a traumatic head injury, officials said. A 10-year-old girl who was inside suffered minor scrapes when she fell, according to her mother.
One of the boys landed on a parked car after he was tossed out of the toy, while the other landed on asphalt when the incident happened around 3:20 p.m. off Ferry Boulevard.
Is the end of the world nigh? I ask this sincerely. We just had the worst winter in like 100 years. It rains all the time. There’s tornadoes virtually every day. And now we have a real life Wizard of Oz moment.
Mother Nature and Jesus need to get together and start playing nice.
