Airborne jumping castle injures Vic teens

Four teenagers have been injured in a freak jumping castle accident in Victoria.

The inflatable castle had an inflatable slide attached to it at a property in Bannockburn, near Geelong, when it was hit with a wind gust just after 3pm.

"A gust of wind has come along and lifted the slide, and the whole jumping castle, up into the air," Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen told AAP.

"It has flicked the children out and they have landed on the ground - and then it landed on top of them."

A teenage girl was temporarily knocked unconscious and also suffered a back injury.

She was flown by air ambulance to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

Another girl and two boys were taken to Geelong Hospital with possible limb fractures.

"The girl taken to the Royal Children's Hospital was serious but stable," Mr Mullen said.
