Prince William and Princess Kate warn to prepare for potential safety hazard at family
home.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are getting ready to move out of Adelaide Cottage and
into Forest Lodge later this year, with exciting preparations already underway at their new
property.
When they move home, something they will be taking with them for their new garden will
be their children's trampoline.
In a new interview with Schitt's Creek actor, Eugene Levy for the Apple TV Plus show The
Despite it being a good sport for their kids, the trampoline itself could pose a risk.
Garden expert, Matt Stewart at Sun Aggregates has branded trampolines the number one most
dangerous garden item when it comes to stormy weather.
Unsecured trampolines are dangerous in a storm because strong winds can lift and hurl them
across gardens or into nearby properties, causing serious damage, explains Matt.
Their large, lightweight frames act like sails, making them particularly prone to being blown
away.
This not only risks property damage but also poses a significant safety hazard to people
and pets, he adds.
Dave Thompson, director of claims at Tesco Insurance, advises securing any garden furniture.
He says, in strong winds, outdoor furniture can be blown away and cause damage to your
home.
If possible, find a way to secure any garden furniture or objects that you think could
cause damage.
For example, large flowerpots or trampolines have been known to roll and smash into windows.
If you can't lock them away in a shed, secure them in the most sheltered part of the garden,
away from your home and bolt them down.
You should also put any garden tools and equipment inside a garage, a shed, or in the house if
needs be.
The UK was recently hit with Storm Amy, even causing King Charles's Balmoral home to close
due to the adverse weather.
Thousands of people were left without power amid the storm and one man lost his life due
to a falling tree in Yorkshire.
Despite Met Office warnings, Network Rail said the high winds hit, much harder and more
quickly, than it expected, so a lot of disruption was caused.
