A child in Ukraine died after she accidentally strangled herself inside an inflatable trampoline on May 13.
The incident happened when the child, just 4-years-old, was playing on an inflatable trampoline at a kids’ amusement park in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, and “became entangled” in the loops of the inflatable object, police said.
Serhii Shaikhet, chief of the regional police, said that the child died as a result of suffocation.
The 45-year-old owner of the inflatable trampoline was detained in connection with the incident.
