Trampoline use in homes and playgrounds

Injuries resulting from the use of trampolines have been well documented in the medical literature for the past 50 years.[1]-[16] Trampoline injuries continue to increase over time.[1][15][17]-[19] One study [1] showed a 98% increase in trampoline injuries between 1990 and 1995. Many of these injuries require hospitalization with or without surgery, and result in permanent morbidity.[1][2][4]-[19] The vast majority of injuries are in the paediatric age group.[18]-[22]
