Playing on a trampoline can be a lot of fun for children, but did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of injuries reported each year resulting from trampolines? A large number of them are the result of several children being on the trampoline at once and bumping into each other, but there are many other dangers that parents should keep in mind when deciding whether or not to let their children play on a trampoline in the first place.
It is important that your children understand the dangers and are instructed as to what they can and cannot do on a trampoline. For example, jumping onto the trampoline from an elevated location such as a roof or a tree can be deadly. They run the risk of breaking the trampoline and falling through it, or they could bounce off in a different location and get hurt landing.
You also need to take steps to protect them by installing sturdy netting around the trampoline and making sure that the surface where it is located doesn’t have rocks that someone could get hurt on if they were to fall off the trampoline.
