Do you let your child jump on a trampoline? The move they should NOT try...

Pediatricians have been warning parents about trampolines for decades now – to no avail for some...

If you’re going to throw caution to the wind, there are a few things you need to know about trampolines. In the U.S. alone, there are 100,000 trampoline injuries a year. 75% of those injuries occur when there are multiple jumpers on the tramp. If your child MUST bounce – have them bounce one at a time and skip the flip! The majority of head, back and neck injuries result from a misstep during a flip, somersault or fancy trick.

Don’t be fooled by mats and nets on a trampoline. A recent report in the journal Pediatrics suggests the so-called safety equipment just gives jumpers and parents a false sense of security.
