Danger of Trampoline Parks

7/17/2017

0 Comments

 
Of course kids love trampoline parks. What is not to love. You get to run. You get to bounce. Maybe you get to flip. A lot of parents love these indoor trampoline parks also because it is great for rainy days. Kids get to burn some of that pent up energy. Parents get to sit for a minute. Maybe the kid even takes a nap after. However, a lot of parents fail to realize the hidden danger in these places. At my son's preschool alone, there were two broken bones from two friends at the trampoline park. 

In the beginning, it appears innocent. You jump. What could happen. However, if you really take a close look, you realize that these trampolines are stacked next to each other. On the outer perimeter of each trampoline is a hard support beam, covered in foam most times, but hardly effective from injury. I have had numerous adults contact our firm because they were jumped and simply landed wrong. Nothing the trampoline park did in that situation to cause the injury. In other case, I have heard of kids jumping and bumping into each other, causing injury. In a recent article, one mom wanted to warn others of the dangers to toddler aged children. In her situation, her 2 year old broke his femur while jumping on the trampoline alongside his parents. They were not bouncing on the same square. It was just an awkward fall for the small boy and boom; the bone is broke. Now her child is in a hip cast for the next 6 weeks and then likely physical therapy.

No one ever intends to get hurt at these parks, but the danger is real. That is why the first thing you need to do is sign the waiver. The waiver that you likely do not read that gives up all of your rights to sue if there was something the park did. Of course some waivers are better then others.
