Health experts: Dangers of trampolines underestimated\nJune 26, 1998\nWeb posted at: 2:37 p.m. EDT (1837 GMT)\n\n(CNN) Kids playing on trampolines- it looks so innocent. So what's to worry about? Here's a mental checklist: Is there adult supervision? Is there more than one person on the trampoline? Are any of its springs exposed? How sturdy is it? Of course, none of this matters to children - they just care that it's fun.\n\n"You can jump higher than you usually do on the ground. Because you can do flips and stuff."\n\nBut trampolines can be dangerous.\n\n"I did a flip and hit right here, hit the side of the trampoline and I jumped one time and accidentally fell off into some bushes."\n\nFor most kids, that's no deterrent. But, health experts say parents should be concerned. A study published in the journal "Pediatrics" shows the number of trampoline injuries doubled during a six-year period, resulting in more than sixty-thousand visits each year to hospital emergency rooms.\n\n"Unlike other products, the number of injuries due to trampolines is doubling over a very short period of time. That's a dramatic increase and unlike other consumer products," says Dr. Gary Smith of Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.\n\nAlmost all of the injuries occurred on backyard trampolines. The inuries were usually sprains, strains or fractures. Younger children tended to hurt their arms, older children their legs. But some of the injuries were much more serious. There have been six deaths since 1990.\n\nFifteen-year-old Dane Bruner knows the danger. He broke his leg while jumping on a trampoline with his friend Michael.\n\n"I went up and he came down, the trampoline was just like concrete. He landed and I looked down and his face was as white as a ghost and I was just filled with terror you know, it just scared me to death and I looked down and his foot was sideways and I just took off running."\n\nAs a result the rules at Dane's house have changed.\n\n"The big rule before was take your shoes off before you get on the trampoline, now it's we don't care about the shoes, only one person at a time on the trampoline."\nNew recommendations on safety\n\nIn fact, the study shows 75 percent of the injuries happened when more than one person was on a trampoline. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking the industry to put that statistic on its warning labels.\n\n"CPSC [also] recommends that kids under the age of 6 should never be allowed on a trampoline, period. We're also telling the industry they need to make sure that the shock absorbing pads are put on the springs all the way around the trampoline," says the CPSC's Russ Rader.\n\nThe American Society for Testing and Material told CNN it plans to vote on the recommendations soon. But Dr. Smith goes a step further. He says trampolines should not be used for play at all -- only for supervised training in gymnastics.\n\n"My advice to parents is, if you're considering buying a trampoline: don't. If you have one, get rid of it." \n\n\nPEDIATRICS Vol. 103 No. 5 May 1999, pp. 1053-1056\nAMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:\nTrampolines at Home, School, and Recreational Centers \n\nThe latest available data indicate that an estimated 83 400 trampoline-related injuries occurred in 1996 in the United States. This represents an annual rate 140% higher than was reported in 1990. Most injuries were sustained on home trampolines. In addition, 30% of trampoline-related injuries treated in an emergency department were fractures often resulting in hospitalization and surgery. These data support the American Academy of Pediatrics' reaffirmation of its recommendation that trampolines should never be used in the home environment, in routine physical education classes, or in outdoor playgrounds. Design and behavioral recommendations are made for the limited use of trampolines in sup

Call the doctor, cover the wound with a 4X4.

I'd say you hit it just right.  Yes, it can happen. I've punched a guy in a parking lot trying to break into my car.  His eye popped out and dangled there.  I was more shocked than he. Luckily for him we where across the street from a clinic.  I pointed him in the direction and hopped in my car and left.

Damn this is annoying..it's happened to me twice! The first time the guys I was with got a knife & opened it, but it broke the case. You cant open them without breaking the case...it's annoying but you should take it back to blockbuster and get them to remove it & demand a free hire for all your troubles! :)

How about pretty much all of the bones in my right hand?   \n\nYears ago I was changing a flat tire on my International Truck out in the parking lot where I worked.  A buncha guys were talking to me as I was doing it.  When I was putting the new tire on, my right hand was on the top of the tire, right below the wheel well...and then the jack slipped and the truck came down crushing my hand between the tire and the truck.\n\nI don't think I've ever cursed as much in my whole life, and thank god those guys were there because they were able to lift the truck up enough to get my hand out and take me to the hospital.

I think so, the last injury is not that serious, but they said that if first operation won't be successful, he will have at least five or six operations in a period of six months....... but sooner or later he will get injured again!!!!

"don't THINK it was broken" Get it looked at by someone who can help know for sure and make sure everything else is OK- minor medical clinic, school nurse, ER, whatever.\n\nMost minor crush injuries (no bone damage, minimal tissue damage) can be dealt with with asprain or other pain reliever, a basic ice program (a few minutes on, longer time off to 'rest', a few minutes on...) to relieve pain and swelling, and not using the injured part.\n\nThe catch to this is that there certainly may be some other issues involved that should be looked at. Do a doctor visit soon and avoid furture problems.

It can take up to a few months. It's an injury that can get better faster if you take care not to aggrevate it.

Yeah, nothing like watching non stop injury faking.  What a great sport.  Sure would love to see you Euros take a hit from Ray Lewis or Ronnie Lott without any padding.  Feel free to attempt to tackle Barry Sanders or Jerome Bettis.  Or for that matter, wear some pillows, it'll still hurt like a SOB.  By the way, when Ronnie Lott played, he had half of his pinky finger cut off during a game so he could continue playing.  You know, playing through a legitimate injury.  Oh wait, you dont know about that.

I don't have statistics for you, but this is a known complication.\n\nSpeaking very, very roughly, I'd guess that in the facility where I work, it occurs to fewer than one person out of a hundred.  I realize that's no consolation when it happens to you.\n\nIn my experience, it usually doesn't require surgical repair.  The monitoring you describe sounds more typical.\n\nFor what little it's worth, I'm sorry this happened to you.

If there's any question about how badly hurt the\nemployee is, then call for medical advice.  It's\nthe right thing to do from both a moral perspective\n(ie. you don't want to permanently damage someone\nby moving them if they have a spinal injury) as\nwell as from a legal perspective (ie. you don't\nwant to end up with a lawsuit).  \n\nIt's my opinion that if someone doesn't immediately\njust "get back up" on their own, then they *ought*\nto be checked out by a doctor (because the injury\nis obviously more serious than just a normal trip-and-fall).

2445\n\nTotal wounded:  17,650\n\nBTW, have you noticed that the media no longer says "wounded"?  They say "injured".  Makes it sound nicer.

it really all depends on the natyre of the injury i beleive.  A lot of times it is done in a settlement...but it may vary from palce to place so take a look at some government web sites to get more informed.

It's possible if you have an injury in your mouth or throat.
