Trampoline Park Injuries Increase as More Trampoline Parks Are Built

Nationwide, trampoline parks are becoming more popular.  While these facilities are a fun way for children and adults to get exercise, millions have been injured.

While trampoline parks are a new novelty, they are an unregulated but quickly growing industry.  Many of the injuries that occur on trampolines result from collisions, landing the wrong way, or landing on the frame.  Many of these injuries are preventable by following basic safety precautions.

While trampoline parks are a new novelty, they are an unregulated but quickly growing industry.  Many of the injuries that occur on trampolines result from collisions, landing the wrong way, or landing on the frame.  Many of these injuries are preventable by following basic safety precautions.

Some safety tips for the trampoline:

• Do not allow children under 6 on the trampolines
• Always make sure that children are supervised by an adult
• Do not attempt to do tricks on the trampoline
• Wear proper clothing and shoes for the trampoline
• Do not engage in horseplay on the trampoline
• No more than one jumper should be on the trampoline at a time

Notwithstanding a waiver or release the park may have you sign upon arrival, a trampoline park can be held liable for injuries if the trampoline was damaged in some way; the park failed to maintain the trampolines; or the facility allowed jumpers to engage in dangerous activity on the trampolines.
