Tornado hits trampoline in Bognor Regis

A 15ft trampoline was picked up and tossed into the next door garden by a tornado that hit Bognor Regis. 
Onlooker Emma Brooks, 40, told how the twister lifted the heavy 15ft trampoline as if it were a 'frisbee' and dumped it in her next door neighbour's garden.   The cyclone caused damage to over 100 homes in exactly the same area that a freak twister had occurred in 2000.






 This is an example of what can happen if a trampoline is not properly anchored to the ground.  Atlantic Trampolines sell a tailor made trampoline anchor kit that is designed to prevent the trampoline taking off in high winds which could have prevented this happening.   We recommend a trampoline anchor kit is used to teather all trampolines to the ground whatever the time of year as you never know when a storm will strike.
