Are indoor trampoline parks dangerous?
As the popularity of indoor trampoline parks around the world soars, so does the number of people injured.
The NBC Bay Area investigation department has investigated medical dispatch records in the past two years and found at least 73 emergency 911 emergency responses to more than a dozen local trampoline parks. Injuries occur mainly in children and are usually severe, ranging from neck injuries, broken ankles to sudden ejection of the knee, and dislocation of the elbow joint.
A 2016 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) showed that from 2010 to 2014, the number of emergency department visits due to trampoline park injuries increased by almost 1,100%. The study also found that trampoline parks produce more serious injuries than home trampolines.
Part of the problem, some experts warn, is a design flaw: So many trampolines should not be interconnected. They say jumpers are often unable to control how they bounce, and they end up landing on the padding that covers the trampoline springs or on harder areas near the edges of the trampolines.
