Trampoline Safety
Outdoor trampolines are great fun for young children and are also great for exercise. However accidents on trampolines are common compared to other garden toys and games. Recent research has shown that 11,500 people in the United Kingdom went to the hospital for trampoline related incidents in 2002. It’s a sad fact that over 75% of trampoline incidents occur when 2 or more children use the trampoline at once, and the person on the trampoline who weighs less is much more likely to be injured.
