Three children were taken to the hospital over the weekend after a bounce house the children were in was lifted into the air by a nearby police helicopter, according to authorities.
The Rancho Cucamonga Police Department held its annual open house on Saturday, April 30. Among the many displays was a bounce house for children. Around 10:30 a.m., a county Sheriff's helicopter was trying to land on the rooftop helipad of the police station, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. According to the department, the downward draft from the landing chopper forced the bounce house and several other canopies at the event to lift off the ground.
