Two young Ohio sisters were fatally crushed this weekend in a freak hammock accident at their home.

Scout Scaravilli, 14, and her 12-year-old sister Chasey, of Cleveland Heights — about 8 miles northeast of Cleveland — were lying in a hammock tied to a tree when a brick pillar collapsed onto them Sunday, Cleveland Heights Police Chief Annette Mecklenburg said, as reported by WJW Monday.

Around 7:45 p.m., officers and firefighters responded to the home after receiving a call about a girl who was trapped underneath bricks.

After they were freed, a rescue squad brought the sisters to a local hospital, where they died hours later.

More people 14 to 12 killed by hammocks than covid 19 this year in Ohio.

Article wasn't clear, so here is second article

Police said the sisters were in a hammock that was tied to a tree and brick pillar when the pillar collapsed onto the girls. Once the pillar was removed and the two girls were freed, they were taken to a local hospital where they died several hours later, according to police.

All jokes aside, I really feel for the parents. I don't know if they have other children, but I know if my two daughters were taken from me suddenly at the same time, I'd lose the will to live.

Brick has a of compressive strength, but lateral loads like that are its weakness. Truly sad.
