It’s important to know that many trampoline injuries arise even when the victim uses the trampoline correctly. Collisions between multiple people on the trampoline and falls can cause serious injuries. Injuries can also occur due to dangerous product defects, such as a trampoline mat that rips while in use. In these cases, parents of injured children may be able to file product liability claims against the item’s manufacturer for damages. e Safety This Summer N FROM SERIOUS INJURIES
