Trampoline Park Injuries

According to an article in June of 2015 from ABC News there are almost 100,000 trampoline injuries every year & 22 trampoline-related deaths between 2000 - 2009. The article however did not make it clear how many of these trampoline related injuries were at trampoline parks or on home trampolines. However in an article by medical daily they reported that the Utah Valley Regional Medical center had 52 trampoline park injuries during a one year period. 22 year Stephen Merrill of Utah did not follow the rules while jumping at an indoor trampoline park & ended up breaking the vertebrae in his neck, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. He had jumped into the foam pit head first & landed on his head at the bottom of the pit onto the hard ground. Having participants sign a waiver is an important step, but it will not entirely protect you in cases such as this. If your company is sued could you afford the cost of legal representation? Or the cost of the medical bills in a case such of this? This is just one example of why having insurance & strict safety standards is so important for a trampoline park or any type of activity where there is a risk of injury. Don't risk your business! Make sure you are covered.

Preventing Injuries in your Trampoline Park

There are several steps that a trampoline park owner can take to help prevent injuries inside of the facility. Having a professional inspector inspect your trampoline courts once a year can help to spot potential safety hazards before they become a problem. Employees should also do a daily inspection of the equipment to be sure that there are no tears, gaps in the padding, broken springs etc. Participants should also be verbally informed of the safety rules before they jump. Some safety rules include: Only one person on a trampoline at a time, no flips, no jumping on top of people etc. Of course, the way the trampoline park is set-up & installed can also have an impact on safety. In 2013, ASTM came out with a set of standards for installing, operating & inspecting trampoline courts. Only a few states require these standards at this time, but if you want to lessen your chance of injuries it may be worth taking a look at and implementing in your park.
