Young children are especially vulnerable to trampoline injuries, commonly from falling off the trampoline to colliding with another person.

The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these safety suggestions:

• Children on a trampoline should be supervised by adults at all times.
• Only one child at a time should be allowed on the trampoline, and somersaults should never be allowed.
• Trampoline springs and frame should be covered in thick padding.
• Equipment should be inspected regularly.
• Any worn or non-working part of the trampoline should be promptly replaced.
