A father died and his three-year-old child was injured in southern France after an inflatable structure they were playing in at a water park took off during high winds, Report informs, citing RTL Today.
The 35-year-old man had been taken to hospital with his child after the accident on Sunday at the water park in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in France's southern Var region, hugely popular with tourists in the summer. He died later that day.
The structure, some 20 meters long, lifted 50 meters off the ground at the Wonderland Waterpark, with both victims trapped inside, the prosecutor for the nearby town of Draguignan said in a statement.
The daughter's life remains in danger, the prosecutor's office added. It said the bouncy castle had taken off due to "strong gusts of wind" that were buffeting the area at the time after a spell of hot weather.
An investigation has been opened into involuntary homicide.
