A man screamed "there's a boy in the sky" as he witnessed an inflatable "zorb" ball being catapulted 20ft in the air.
Paul Holmes rushed to help the boy after watching the freak accident unfold at Southport Food and Drink Festival in Victoria Park on Sunday. The 43-year-old from Southport, who had visited the festival with family, ripped the ball open to free the boy before running into a marquee to ask for help.
Paul told the ECHO: "We were just stood next to the zorb pit looking for something to eat. There was a breeze quite quick and I just said 'oh that breeze is nice'.
