Tennessee Trampoline Accidents
Though trampolines provide exercise and fun for children and adults, they also cause a significant number of serious personal injuries in Tennessee. In fact, a study reported in Science Daily showed that almost 250,000 trampoline-related injuries were treated in hospital emergency departments in the United States. About two-thirds of these victims were children aged 14 or younger.
In addition to reckless use of a trampoline, serious personal injuries on trampolines frequently occur as a result of some defect in the product giving rise to products liability in Tennessee.
In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Skywalker Holdings LLC recently issued a recall for Skywalker’s “13-foot Square Trampolines” due to several reports of straps breaking, creating a potential fall hazard. Sixty thousand of these trampolines have been sold from major retailers nation-wide from January 2007 through February 2009 at a cost between 400 and 500 dollars.
Some common trampoline accident injuries include:
• Muscle damage
• Broken bones
• Dislocations
• Severe head trauma
• Spinal cord injury
