Terrifying incident with a trampoline in Russia

According to The Sun: The terrifying moment when the trampoline was lifted into the air due to strong winds resulted in injuries to at least four children.

In recordings from the scene, cries of children can be heard as the trampoline detaches from the ground and flips over in front of horrified parents.

Ultimately, the trampoline landed hard on the playground.

The video shows it flying in the air, getting stuck on top of the stair structure, while worried parents try to save the children.

Debris from the scene hovered over the Cion neighborhood in the Russian city of Ufa, as the strong wind showed no signs of subsiding.

Several injured individuals received medical assistance on-site. Among them, a seven-year-old child was urgently transported to the hospital.

“The roar of the wind could not drown out the screams of terrified children,” a witness recalled.

'Some were crying when the trampoline with the slide landed on a nearby playground.'

Witnesses watched as the trampoline soared into the air and fell to the ground.

One child who witnessed this terrifying incident held their hands on their head as the trampoline hit the ground, trying to reach their father.
