A six-year-old girl has died after a bouncy castle exploded and catapulted her more than 45 foot into the air.
Half a dozen other children were injured, three of them seriously, after the incident in a restaurant garden in Girona, Spain, on Sunday afternoon.
It is understood a valve failed on the inflatable and pressure built up causing the explosion which sent children high into the air before crashing down onto tarmac or grass.
Three youngsters most seriously hurt were rushed to hospital in a helicopter, and the girl, six, died overnight of her severe injuries.
The emergency services say the six other boys and girls suffered various injuries when they were flung off the bouncy castle, parts of which reached the roof of the restaurant.
Debris was found more than 120ft away from the original site, including in the branches of trees. The children are aged between three and eleven.
The accident happened in Caldes de Malavella, a town in Girona, Spain at about 3.45pm yesterday afternoon.
An investigation is already underway to find out what happened but it is believed one of the air valves failed and exploded when the pressure inside built up.
