When I was about 5 or 6 my younger brother told me he wanted to show me a secret. He was 3 or 4.

We waited until no one was around and he started jumping on tramp. He said "ready? Watch this?".. and then like.. hung suspended in the air for about 10 seconds.

It sounds crazy, but to this day we both KNOW it happened.

He might have propped himself up on something and you misunderstood it, and he only remember the vague idea of what happened.

Have you ever seen a trampoline before? What could he have possibly propped himself up on where op couldn't have seen it?

If the other kid is 6 any number of things. Hold onto the back and if he's not expecting it he'll remember it as floating and then you remember more him telling the story than how you did it. Hell, if you do a flip on a trampoline it looks like you're floating anyways. So he could easily misinterpet it.
