Summary

Trampoline injuries increased nationally from 2002-2011, especially in children aged 5-9. Safety standards and netted enclosures did not reduce injury rates, suggesting a need for better risk communication.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Injury Prevention
  • Consumer Product Safety

Background:

  • Trampoline use has increased in popularity.
  • Product safety standards and design modifications have been implemented to reduce trampoline-related injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze national trampoline injury patterns and trends.
  • To evaluate the impact of safety standards and design changes on injury rates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized National Hospital Morbidity data for analysis.
  • Examined injury data from 2002 to 2011.

Main Results:

  • An average of 1,737 trampoline injuries were reported annually.
  • Both injury frequency and rate increased significantly across all age groups, peaking in children aged 5-9.
  • Falls constituted the majority of injuries, with 81% resulting in fractures.

Conclusions:

  • Voluntary Australian Standards for trampoline safety showed no observable effect on population injury rates.
  • Netted enclosures may create a false sense of security, potentially increasing injury risk.
