Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
OSHKOSH, Wis., July 15 (UPI) -- A teenage girl was killed in a bungee-jumping accident Saturday at a Christian rock festival in Wisconsin.
The teenager died after the Air Glory thrill ride malfunctioned at Lifest in Oshkosh, Wis.
A ripcord on the harness ride made a strange sound and then the girl plummeted about 100 feet onto the bare ground -- just feet away from protective mats -- witnesses told WTMY-TV in Milwaukee.
Organizers shut down the festival, one of the nation's largest, for two hours so attendees could pray for the victim, then continued as scheduled the remainder of the weekend.
Police were investigating the accident.
