— A five-year-old Prince Edward Island girl is in hospital after a trampoline she was playing on was carried about 40 metres by wind gusts and landed on top of her. Ella Hurry was jumping on a trampoline Sunday in Wheatley River, P.E.I., when high winds carried the trampoline across the yard, tearing the clothesline off a pole and landing on her. “It’s a big trampoline and it landed right on her.”The girl regained consciousness after about five minutes and then started to cry, McNeill said. Environment Canada recorded wind gusts of up to 81 km/hr in the area on Sunday. Libby said an unstable low pressure weather system may have contributed to the trampoline accident, as a gust of warmer air could have hit the ground and bounced back up.
