There are a number of different ways that injuries at trampoline parks can occur, but the two major categories are those caused by patron interaction with equipment, and patrons interacting with other patrons.In the case of patron vs equipment, proper supervision and coaching of patrons on safe equipment use and jumping methods is critically important for injury prevention. The following is the safety advice provided by Kira.

Park operators are responsible for maintaining and regularly inspecting these areas to check for any popped springs or compromised components.Following the manufacturer’s recommendations is the first step for trampoline park owners to ensure that all equipment is in good repair and functioning safely.

Daily inspections should also be carried out, following a checklist. Documentation and proper record keeping will allow owners and staff to know what maintenance has been done. Inspection should be performed daily before the park opens, and at least once a week beneath the trampoline beds, depending on manufacturer recommendations. Further specific inspections should be implemented at varying times as specified by the manufacturers.

When patrons are injured through interaction with another patron, the supervision practices of the facility may be called into question. Aside from interceding when a mishap occurs, attendants are responsible for observing the safe use of all areas and obstacles by patrons and taking appropriate preventative action if behavior between patrons or with the equipment becomes hazardous. Factors that should be considered are the number of people using the equipment in relation to the size of the space, and the ages of the patrons. In child-only zones, the supervising attendant must ensure that no parents or adolescents enter the area as this can create an unsafe and dangerous condition for both the older patron and the young children.

Successful trampoline park operation depends upon thorough hiring, employee orientation, and training practices. Properly orientating employees will not only assist in risk management, but also in injury reduction. Supervision of a trampoline park facility requires qualified personnel to oversee all activity areas and ensure the proper use of equipment.
