If your child has been injured by a trampoline in New Jersey, you may need an attorney. A personal injury lawyer in NJ<\/a> will fight for you and make sure you\u2019re compensated for your child\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

Common Types of Injuries<\/h3>\n

The most common trampoline injuries among children are sprains and broken bones in the arms and legs, which occur from:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Falls onto the springs or frame of the trampoline<\/li>\n
  • Falling off the trampoline<\/li>\n
  • Landing acrobatic flips the wrong way<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    There are instances of serious injuries to the head and neck and rare occurrences of paralysis. There were 22 trampoline-related deaths in children from 2000-2010 across the US.<\/p>\n

    How to Prevent Trampoline Injuries<\/h3>\n

    You can take steps as a parent to limit the risk of injury to your child.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Carefully Supervise Children Using Trampolines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Only allow one child on the trampoline at all times. Roughly 75% of injuries happen when two or more children are using the trampoline simultaneously.<\/p>\n

      Children 6 and under account for 22-37% of all trampoline injuries. Consider limiting their time and never leave them unsupervised.<\/p>\n

      Don\u2019t let your children attempt summersaults or flips on the trampoline without an adult instructor. Your child could sustain a head or neck injury if they land the wrong way.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Check the Trampoline for Padding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Make sure the trampoline frame is completely covered with padding. This includes covering all springs and hooks. If your child falls, the padding prevents them from being seriously injured.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Prevent Falls From a Trampoline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Just under 40% of injuries are caused by falling off a trampoline. It\u2019s important to keep trampolines as close to ground level as possible. Trampolines should be surrounded with safety netting.<\/p>\n
