A TWO-year-old girl died and three other children were injured – after they were electrocuted while bouncing on a fairground trampoline.

The horror accident unfolded when the toddler, an eight-year-old girl and two boys aged 11 and 12 reportedly touched a metal fence surrounding the giant trampoline.

Paramedics rushed to the scene in Alquerias, near the city of Murcia in southern Spain, before trying to resuscitate the youngster for an hour.

But the tragic girl was declared dead in the early hours of June 15, after the children touched the fence around midnight.

The group of children are understood to have touched a metal mesh fence around the trampoline which had an unearthed electric current running through it.

Witnesses said the girl, who has not been named, was knocked unconscious and was bleeding from her nose following the freak accident.

The three other children also suffered electric shocks and were taken to hospital but they are said to be recovering.

One 29-year-old woman was also treated for an anxiety attack, reportedly after witnessing the girl’s harrowing death.

Spain‘s Civil Guard police sealed off the fairground and have launched a probe into negligence and involuntary manslaughter.

Investigators are now trying to determine whether the attraction was safe to use or was connected to the electrical network in a dangerous manner.

Murcia City Council expressed its condolences and declared three days of mourning.

The fairground is located nearby a local health centre and also features bumper cars and a children’s train.

The horrifying ordeal occurred inside a temporary setup for the town’s summer festivities, where around 6,000 residents live.

The death has sparked concern over the safety of temporary fairground rides across Spain, especially during festival season.

While the probe continues, locals are calling for stricter inspections and clearer regulations around electrical setups at these events.

In April, horrifying footage showed the moment a girl was electrocuted in a massive shower of sparks and catapulted backwards in front of her family.

The distressing video showed Nikolly Gabriela de Sousa, 7, suffering a nearly-fatal electric shock in Brazil while playing with a young boy during a family dinner.

And last February, a ten-year-old boy died four days after being electrocuted at a hotel, an inquest has heard.

The youngster had been enjoying the getaway with his mum Kelly, his aunt Katie and nan when tragedy struck.
