While trampoline centers have been growing in popularity in recent years, it’s not all been fun and games. A new study by Australian Researchers delves into the seriousness and frequency of emergency room (ER) hospitalizations of children injured at trampoline parks across Australia.

The study looks at cases from 2005 through to 2017 of children and adolescents sent to ERs in Australia due to trampoline park injuries. It used three injury surveillance databases to analyze the scale and nature of the injuries.
