Trampoline parks combine two favorite childhood activities – jumping and parks – into one enjoyable attraction for children of all ages. While they offer hours of fun, trampoline parks are associated with a range of injuries that could turn a good day into a medical emergency. If an accident does happen, Surepoint Emergency Center is prepared to treat any injury quickly, compassionately, and with expert care!

What Kind Of Injuries Can My Child Sustain From Trampoline Parks?

According to recent research from the Pediatrics academic journal, trampolines are a common injury in many childhoods, and in some cases, come with serious consequences. Injuries like these often occur due to a lack of proper safety measures or improper supervision. The most frequently reported trampoline park-related injuries include:

  • Musculoskeletal injuries: sprains, lacerations, strains, dislocations, and fractures, usually caused by falls or awkward landings.
  • Head Injuries: Concussions or other traumatic injuries to the cranium can come from falls or collisions.
  • Spinal Injuries: While not as common as the others, these are more severe and can potentially lead to paralysis, or in extreme cases, death. 

How Can My Child Get Hurt At a Trampoline Park?

Trampoline parks aren’t inherently dangerous places, but without proper precautions, the risk of injury could increase. Parents should not only monitor their children while they jump, but also ensure they know safety rules and procedures before jumping. Some common injuries that occur at the trampoline park include:

  • Falls
  • Multiple jumpers on one trampoline
  • Improper technique
  • Lack of proper supervision
  • Neglecting park rules
  • Differences in age and skill level
  • Collisions
  • Performing risky jumps or stunts
  • Falling onto the springs of a trampoline
