Looks more like just a case of bad planning to me. I heard that a Great Root Bear perished in just this way in South Dakota a few years ago. Then there was the Ronald McDonald that went down in a drive-by shooting in Sacramento, and the giant inflatable Labatt's 50 Beer Can that got nailed by the Human Cannonball act at a country Fall Fair in London, Ontario. We need to establish better safety standards to protect our inflatable friends.
