A quick glance at the statistics may cause you to jump out of your seat. According to reports, more than 100,000 trampoline accidents occur each year, injuring both children and adults. Between 2002 and 2011, approximately a million people visited emergency rooms with minor to severe injuries.
At-home trampoline accidents are common. Accidents in trampoline parks, on the other hand, result in more severe injuries because larger children and a greater number of children are involved in jumping at the same time. The graph clearly shows how common fracture and dislocation injuries are in trampoline parks.
When children of different ages jump on the same trampoline, younger children may be crushed under the weight of older children. Even children standing nearby the trampoline can be affected by those bouncing on it.
More serious injuries to the head, neck, spine, or upper extremities cannot be avoided if the landing is performed upside down. Death or paralysis can occur in extreme cases. Though we cannot prevent injuries, using safety equipment such as a helmet, knee pads, or elbow pads can help to reduce the severity of injuries.
Manufacturers may face product liability claims if they sell defective trampolines. Before marketing a product, it is their responsibility to include adequate warnings and 'how to use' instructions to ensure customer safety.
When an adult is nearby, he or she can respond to the unfortunate incident as soon as it occurs. Many lives can be saved by prompt response and medical assistance.
While more fractures occur at home, trampoline parks have more severe and life-altering injuries such as spinal cord injuries, head traumas, paralysis, or death. The only good news is that only about two trampoline park deaths are reported each year.
When trampoline accidents happen at home, most lawsuits are filed against product defects, and premises liability lawsuits are rare. However, when trampoline parks cause injuries, liability is determined by the facts of the case.

To avoid injuries and liabilities, it is preferable to avoid having or using this bouncing nuisance. If you have one in your yard, never leave a ladder nearby for the kids to use while you are away.
