Info from Licensor: I was standing outside my front door taking a video of the swings that were going crazy in the wind. My husband and daughter came out to see the commotion and my husband noticed the trampoline rolling and flying in the wind. The trampoline had been anchored down with 3 stakes and tied to a cemented wrought iron fence directly behind our house, which is close to our property line. The wind managed to pull it out of the ground, moved it to the side of the yard, then next to the house, then up, and over the 8-foot fence. We found it the next day near the other property line on the other side of our property. It had traveled 10 acres and ended up a tangled mess, broken into multiple pieces, and the springs were scattered throughout the pasture. My daughter was scared because she thought it was a tornado, but it was just 60mph straight-line winds.
