The children were taken to Sydney Children\u2019s Hospital after being treated by paramedics at the scene.<\/p>\n A preschool-aged boy and girl suffered head injuries while a baby was treated for minor injuries. A woman was also taken to hospital with minor injuries, the spokeswoman said. All three children were in a stable condition.<\/p>\n This was the second incident involving an airborne jumping castle<\/a> recorded in a matter of hours on Saturday. Two children were injured at a party near Geelong in Victoria that morning. Both children were taken to hospital with injuries to their upper bodies and were in a stable condition.<\/p>\n The temperature in Sydney hovered about 30 degrees, accompanied by strong north-westerly winds, with recorded peak gusts surpassing 60km\/h on Saturday afternoon. The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds, with peak gusts of up to 100km\/h expected across parts of NSW.<\/p>\n The injuries came five years after the Hillcrest Primary School tragedy<\/a>, in which six children died after a jumping castle at the primary school fete was lifted into the air and thrown 75 metres by a \u201cmini tornado\u201d during a freak weather event in Tasmania.<\/p>\n Be the first to know when major news happens.
