A study reveals that children injure themselves more often and more seriously in a dedicated park than on a personal trampoline.During the big holidays, many children will have fun jumping on a trampoline.Depending on the space available, two options are possible: an individual model (with or without a net) or going to the Trampoline Park.These indoor playgrounds offer large trampolines over several hundred square meters.If children and adults can let off steam in them, these indoor amusement parks cause more injuries than personal trampolines.In any case, this is revealed by an American study published in June 2022 in the specialized journal Injury Prevention.The study in question was conducted in the United States, where the Trampoline Park was born in 2004. If the standards in force have evolved, jumping on this object causes approximately 100,000 injuries each year in the country.And dedicated parks would be more involved in these figures than accidents caused at home.To reach this conclusion, the researchers analyzed 11 studies carried out in 7 different countries.All focused on childhood injuries related to trampoline use.Then several criteria were taken into account: age of the children, type of injury, location of the accident, etc.It appears that older children injured themselves more easily in dedicated parks than on a personal trampoline.If no cause is given, the authors refer to a desire to take risks and leap higher.The authors also specify that the risks of surgery were twice as high in an accident in a trampoline park.The reason given for this statistic is the presence in these parks of larger and more powerful equipment.Other factors are also highlighted.Several children can jump at the same time without having control over their jump.In addition, supervision is sometimes too weak and the youngest do not always pay attention.Mother and son getting some “air” at Airhouse Kelowna 😀 #kelowna #airhouse #trampolinepark #trampolinefun #trampoline #okanagan #okanaganlife #blu #leah #leahwest #jumping #explorecanada #explorekelowna #explorebc pic.twitter.com/kkxkE4Uv0a— Leah West (@LeahWestMusic) June 28, 2022In order to jump safely, recommendations can be put in place.Whatever the playing space, make sure there is only one person per trampoline at a time.Also check that there are no uncovered springs sticking out.Children's legs can easily slip nearby and be broken by these items.Also instruct children not to perform any flips, twists or flips.And finally, make sure the trampoline is used under adult supervision.Keep up to date with the latest health-related news, information and advice through our free and association-free magazine.The information available through our site in no way replaces the advice of a health professional following consultation of your specific case.
