We're rated‘Excellent’Due to Coronavirus, many children are enjoying more time at home, and with leisure centres being closed, lots of parents will have bought trampolines and other garden play equipment for children.
But with this there is a bigger risk of injury, as children spend more time playing on items such as trampolines, slides and swings.
In the first few weeks of lockdown, the NHS saw a huge fall in the number of people going to A&E. But despite this drop, an orthopaedic surgeon at Hull University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust said that one morning, half of all the fractures they treated were because of children playing on trampolines.
Trampoline jumping poses a particularly high risk of injury to children, possibly causing head and neck injuries and arm and leg fractures. So it’s vital you make sure they’re well maintained and safe to be used by children, and that if you spot any damage, it’s repaired or replaced.
New equipment or recently erected equipment should also be checked regularly so you know none of the fixtures have become loose.
When you contact our Personal Injury Solicitors for a free consultation, we’ll ask for details on what steps you took to ensure your child’s safety, as it needs to be proven that the product itself posed a risk.

When using a trampoline at home, make sure it’s tied down before use and install safety nets, pads and place it at ground level.
