Trampoline Injuries Surge in Alberta | Canada News

Trampolines may look like fun, but Alberta ERs are seeing over 12,000 injury visits since 2021—with more than 2,000 kids and teens last year alone. Broken bones, sprains, and head wounds are common, but skull fractures and spinal injuries have also occurred. Most accidents happen when multiple kids jump together or attempt flips. The Canadian Paediatric Society advises against backyard trampolines, but if you have one, safety nets and solo bouncing are non-negotiable. Over five kids visit Alberta ERs daily due to trampoline use, with ages five to nine most at risk. Whether at home or in a park, stay alert—safety isn’t optional.
