Increase in injuries at trampoline parks calls for regulations

The numbers of children suffering injuries on trampolines is increasing according to ambulance statistics.

In 2017, an ambulance was called out to 1,181 incidents at trampoline parks in England which equates to more than three every day.

The severity of the injuries are worsening especially at public trampoline parks which are becoming very popular across the country.

One hospital's audit found children hurt at such parks required more treatment than those injured on home equipment.

The increase in injury has caused industry bodies to consider regulation of the sector as there are currently no safety regulations specifically aimed at trampoline parks.

Potter Rees Dolan, serious injury solicitors, have dealt with similar cases and said:

Trampolining is an activity which can give a great deal of enjoyment to children and adults alike and is great for general fitness and developing co-ordination. However, I believe it is also one of the most dangerous sports and it is essential for organisers to educate, instruct and supervise participants (particularly children) who will be unaware of the risks, and ensure proper equipment is used at all times under proper supervision.

We have conducted cases for children and adults over the years who suffered catastrophic injuries due to failures by organisers and supervisors to provide for their reasonable safety resulting in huge awards of damages and consequent life changing injuries affecting them and their families.

There are guidelines to be followed published by British Gymnastics and the RSPA but there should also be enforceable regulations to ensure the activity is conducted in a safe environment with minimum risk to members of the public.

If you or your child have suffered an injury due to an accident on a trampoline then please get in touch. Should you have any queries about personal injury issues or indeed any other aspect of this article and wish to speak to any member of the team please contact us on 0161 237 5888.

  • Thank you. Excellent help and I got an outcome I didn't expect, so a big thank you to Peter Renshaw.

    Lisa Hathaway

  • TRUSTWORTHY FIRM I found Potter Rees Dolan through google search, and while I didn’t have much hope, it all turned out to believe there are still good people who help others. Peter Renshaw assisted me with my appeal. If he wasn’t there I probably never came this far and just lived my difficult life. However with all his professionalism and caring manner he encouraged me to appeal the decision, patiently explained the procedure and advised me all through the way. The appeal was allowed by the judge and this could not happened if Peter Renshaw did not support me with my case. I highly recommend PRD and specifically Peter Renshaw and his team.

  • Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to you and your team for the support you have given me over the past years to achieve this unexpected outcome. It has been such an emotionally draining process that, were it not for that support, I may have abandoned it... Once again, many thanks to all at Potter Rees Dolan. I couldn't have been in safer hands.

    GM, Manchester

  • I am completely blown away after the success your input has done for me. Now, instead of life not being worth living, I can take time to make a life with a difference. I will forever be grateful to you! I am very grateful to your firm and especially Mr. Renshaw for his simple instructions, patience and understanding. Having him as an advocate was everything and more than I could have ask for. Many thanks for what you do.

    Wendy Williams, Shropshire

  • One aspect which I value highly is that a promise to call will always be honoured. This may seem a small point but it is absolutely critical to peace of mind for the client. Communications, written and verbal, are always timeous, appropriate and well explained. As I develop below, each one of the team is invariably compassionate, understanding and empathic.This is of great importance to clinical negligence clients, who may well be facing life changing events, and not for the better. The Practice has a substantial and impressive array of medico legal contacts whose expertise they can call upon.  We have been impressed with their thorough work and pleased with their achievements so far in dealing with our claim.
