The Reality of Trampoline Accidents

Trampoline accidents can result in serious injuries or even fatalities. Individuals or family members who are injured on a trampoline may consider filing a lawsuit against the parties they believe are responsible for the accident.

Causes of Trampoline Accidents

Trampoline accidents can occur for different reasons, and understanding these causes is important for preventing future and severe injuries. 

Some of these injuries occur for different reasons, including:

  • Inappropriate usage 
  • Collisions 
  • Lack of supervision 
  • Trampoline damage 
  • Lack of safety nets 
  • Insufficient padding 
  • Bad weather 
  • Falls from the trampoline

Due to a lack of awareness of trampoline accidents, people do not recognize the risks that come with using a trampoline. This leads people to believe that accidents are uncommon and has increased trampoline usage, which has amplified the number of accidents occurring.

High Risk-Activity

While recreational, trampolines present a significant potential for injury. When an activity has a high likelihood of accidents, it is known as a high-risk activity. Most people are unaware that trampolines are a high-risk activity, but there are roughly 100,000 trampoline accidents annually in the US.

Frequency of Trampoline Accidents

The frequency of trampoline accidents depends on the usage of trampolines and the awareness of the risks associated with trampolines. About 500 of them have resulted in permanent neurological damage. 

Types of injuries related to trampolines include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Dislocations
  • Head and neck injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Internal injuries
  • Sprained ankles and feet

Safety Guidelines

Trampoline safety guidelines are essential to help reduce the risk of injuries and accidents during trampoline use.

It’s essential to raise awareness about trampoline safety for users of all ages. By being informed of the risks and following safety guidelines, individuals can take preemptive measures to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on trampolines.

Trampoline Accident Liability

Trampoline accidents can lead to long legal battles, with injured individuals seeking compensation for their injuries. These battles usually involve various people, depending on the situation. It can involve trampoline owners, manufacturers, or even other individuals who were in the accident.

Some liability factors for trampoline accidents include:

  •  Products Liability: When a trampoline manufacturer produces a defective product that leads to an injury, a product liability lawsuit may be filed against that manufacturer.
  •  Negligence: Trampoline owners can be considered negligent for failing to maintain the trampoline. They will be held liable if they fail to provide adequate safety measures or do not properly supervise people on it.
  •  Premises Liability: Depending on where the accident occurred, such as someone else’s property, the property owner may be liable if there was not a safe environment.

Attractive Nuisance

An attractive nuisance is a significant factor in premises liability cases. Children are naturally drawn to trampolines and pools, making it more likely for them to unknowingly enter someone’s property.

As a property owner, it is necessary to take specific precautions, such as enclosing the area with a fence and ensuring proper supervision, to prevent children from accessing the trampoline unsupervised. Taking these kinds of precautions will reduce injuries and limit liability.
