Trampolines
- According to
recommendations
from the American
Academy of Pediatrics,
trampolines
should not be
used in the
home or at outdoor
playgrounds.
- Know that an unsupervised trampoline is dangerous to children, and that serious injuries can result from the use of a trampoline. The majority of these are fractures, dislocations and sprains in the head and neck areas and upper and lower extremities. However, if you choose to use a trampoline, please keep the following tips in mind:
- Give children proper instruction on how to use a trampoline.
- Use a safety harness to help reduce injuries.
- Avoid somersaults, which have a high potential for serious injury.
- Allow only one person on the trampoline at a time.
