I suspect the 200 mph gust might have had some influence, however short a time that was. For a moment the child likely resembled the car lot inflatables with their arms flailing in the air.

So, someone on the ground gets: A door. An inner panel. A child's shirt. A seat cover. And, per the BBC, a cellular phone.

Amazingly the nearby tray table remained in place.

I picture a rural location where someone, looking up into a tree, says "Bob? What the hell did you get up to last night?"
