Five children have been injured after a jumping castle at a property in Sydney’s west flew into the air and was blown into a neighbouring fence.
Just after 9:30am on Saturday, emergency services responded to reports of injuries at Kelvin Park Drive in Bradfield.
A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance said they were told that up to six people were onboard.
“On arrival, we treated five patients, all males, ranging from nine to 13 years of age,” the spokesperson said.
Four of the children were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and taken to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a stable condition.
The other child did not need hospitalisation.
SafeWork NSW attended the scene and are investigating.
In December 2021, six children were killed when a dust devil lifted a jumping castle into the air in Devonport, Tasmania.
Rosemary Anne Gamble, who set up the jumping castle at Hillcrest Primary School, was found not guilty in June of failing to comply with a health and safety duty.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing in Saturday’s incident in Bradfield.
