Jump in trampoline injuries

IT’S springtime – and that means an increase in trampoline accidents. Trampolining is one of the fastest-growing recreational activities, but its popularity has been associated with a rise in injuries, particularly during warmer months, with the majority being fractures to the lower or upper arms of children. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says 60 per cent of injuries are caused by more than one person bouncing on the trampoline at the same time.
