Dangers of Trampolines at Home
A new study from an Indiana University School of Medicine documents the dangers of trampolines at home. The research study found that, from 2002 to 2011, accidents on backyard trampolines accounted for nearly 289,000 visits to emergency rooms for broken bones. Factor in all accidents, not just fractures, and the tally rises to more than 1 million emergency room visits, according to the study, published online in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics.
