A 13-year-old girl from Des Moines, Iowa, died in a “freak” hammock accident, reports say.
Peri Sagun died on Saturday after a brick pillar collapsed onto the hammock as she and her sister were sharing it outside their home, a police report said.
The Des Moines Register reported that she had set up the hammock with her 16-year-old sibling, tying one end to a tree and the other end to a 5-foot-tall brick post.
Peri jumped into the hammock as her sister was sitting on it. The brick post then collapsed onto her head. Her sister then ran into the home, yelling for her father, who came out and performed CPR and first aid on her until EMT workers arrived on the scene, the Register reported.
