StuSie Nachricht: The Week's Most Ridiculous Fatality

In the spirit of the Phat Phree's 50 Most Embarrasing Ways To Die, the StuSie would like to highlight this week's most off-the-wall deaths. I'm talking about the two women aged 68 and 38, who were killed in what amounts to a giant bouncy castle in Durham, England. British inflatable residences (BIR) come in three sizes: Wee, Naut-so-Wee, and Frrrrriggin' Huuuuge. The blow-up edifice in question was of the latter variety. It was actually an inflatable sculpture with a number of interconnected rooms that people could wander around, and it measured 2,500 sq metres. Like I said, this was one serious airbed. Anyway, long story short, the wind caught it while there were lots of people inside, the whole thing was tossed ass-over-eyebrows about 40 m in the air and when it reaquainted itself with terra firma, two were dead and dozens injured. Now that's a bad day at the park.
