Bouncy castle horror as 2 kids thrown 40ft in the air at school fundraiser
Terrifying footage captures the moment two children cheat death after falling from a bouncy castle blown 40 feet into the air by strong winds.
The horror happened during a fund-raising day at a school in South Africa when an unexpected gust caused the seemingly-untethered inflatable to take flight.
Witnesses at the Laerskool Protearif school can be heard screaming in terror as the multi-coloured castle spiralled high into the sky.
A shocked worker watches helplessly as one of the children trapped on the inflatable is unable to hold on and plummets to the ground below.
Just moments later, a second youngster also loses their grip and plunges off the side of the castle.

Quick-thinking parents at the event formed a human crash pad to break the pupils' fall, but despite their efforts, both children were still seriously injured.
They were rushed to hospital where one was said to have a fractured skull and the other a broken arm.
It is not known how many or if any other children were on board and managed to cling on inside the bouncy castle which landed about 50 feet from where it took off.
