Keeping your children safe might seem like a full time job at times. Often, being a parent involves considering everything dangerous that might happen and then thinking of ways to prevent it.
Having a trampoline in your backyard is very entertaining to your children, but there are many risks involved. Every year in the US alone, there are hundreds of thousands of accidents involving the use of trampolines. Even though it sometimes involves adults, the majority of those injured are children. What caused these accidents?
Many times it is because the equipment is used improperly. For example, whenever there are 2 or more people on the trampoline at once, you greatly increase the risk of hitting each other in some way. Children should not be allowed to be on the trampoline unsupervised; this might lead to them being injured and unable to get help for themselves.
It is also common that children get injured from falling off the trampoline. To prevent this from happening, install sturdy netting around it.
