Statistics of trampoline injuries

Children playing on trampolines in a recreational setting, with a focus on trampoline injuries and legal claims related to trampoline accidents.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there were more than 300,000 trampoline injuries that require medical treatment in 2018. Out of them, there were more than 110,000 trampoline accidents per year.

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons confesses that more than 90% of trampoline injuries happen to children at the age of 5 to 14.

A trampoline is a device used for gymnastic, recreational, and fitness activities. It is made with thick mesh fabric that is stretched over a circular frame and the fabric is attached by springs. Consequently, it allows you to jump and bounce on top.

Jumping on a trampoline is fun for kids and adults. Along with enjoyment, it also helps to increase your heart rate and involves muscle strength. This is why rebounding is all the rage these days.

However, it can be dangerous as it can lead to various trampoline injuries, such as:

  • Arms.
  • Head.
  • Legs.
  • Neck.

Moreover, it is particularly unsafe for younger children, who are more likely to get hurt while jumping. Still, if you choose to use a trampoline, it’s important to follow specific safety guidelines. After all, trampoline jumping can become safe if you follow certain rules.

Common causes of trampoline injuries

While most trampoline injuries occur on home trampolines, injuries sustained at jump parks are considered more severe. These types of injuries are caused by the less coordinated falls and high-flying maneuvers often seen at these facilities.

Overall, more than 90% of trampoline injuries are sustained by children, mostly between the ages of 5 and 14. In addition, more than three-quarters of trampoline injuries occur when two or more children are jumps at the same time and collide.

Other causes of trampoline injuries

Attempting somersaults, flips, and other risky stunts that go wrong.

Falling on the trampoline mat, frame, or springs.

Falling off the trampoline onto the ground or another hard surface.

How to sue them for defective products?

The trampoline you were using can be defective in 3 ways. It includes:

1. The product has a design defect:

it means that the trampoline that was built or created is inherently unsafe.

it means that the trampoline is safe but something happened during the manufacturing process that left it unsafe. For instance, even when used properly according to the manufacturer’s instructions, sometimes it leads to various side effects.

Most trampolines come with a set of instructions and warnings. However, if the manufacturer did not warn you regarding the risks of using the product, the manufacturer could be liable for an injury.

Who is liable for trampoline safety?

The owner or the operator of the trampoline park is responsible for the safety. In addition, anyone who has hired, rented, or purchased the trampoline for either personal usage, an event, an occasion, or a public place, has a duty of care to anyone using the trampoline.

To eliminate the risk of trampoline injury, you need to follow these things accurately.

  • Ensure they have correctly set up the trampoline.
  • Ensure that users are prepared for using the trampoline and are in an adequate mental and physical condition to use the trampoline.
  • Ensure they have provided correct training to use the trampoline.
  • Ensure they are adequately supervising anyone using the trampoline, especially children.
  • Ensure that the trampoline parks are adequate first-aid in place.
  • Ensure the safety netting is used wherever it is appropriate.

 

Nevertheless, the customers should ensure they are making use of proper equipment in the directed ways to avoid trampoline back injury. Park owners’ duty of care stipulates that they must show customers how to use equipment professionally, along with the health and safety risks of not doing so.

They also have a duty of care to regularly check and maintain the equipment in the correct way. Moreover, anyone with a home trampoline also has a duty of care to ensure it is safe to use. Whenever you breach this duty of care in some way, the injured party could be able to a personal injury claim for a trampoline knee injury.

Damages from a trampoline injury

If you’re injured in a trampoline accident, you can recover damages for:

Medical treatment:

including doctor or hospital visits, surgeries, medication, therapies, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or other expenses.

if the injury caused you to lose time from work or if you’re unable to return to work in the capacity you did before the trampoline accidents.

if you have the surviving family member of a person who died in a trampoline accident.

if the negligence was malicious or especially reckless.

20+ safety tips to ensure your family is aware of the rules

  1. Ask your child’s pediatrician if it is safe for your child to use a trampoline. Moreover, you should also consider the medical conditions of your child before allowing him/her to use the trampoline.
  2. Before you jump, remove the hats, jewelry, or items in your pockets.
  3. Cover your trampoline’s frame, spring, and hooks with protective safety pads.
  4. Ensure you remove all the leaves, debris, or water, from the trampoline before jumping.
  5. Set up the trampoline at ground level to reduce the risk of a trampoline accident. In addition, ensure the ground is even.

  18. Don’t allow children ages 6 and under to jump on a trampoline.
  19. Never let children do somersaults or flips as it increases the risk of trampoline injury.
