W.A.T.C.H. OUT! This trampoline is sold in the toy aisle for children as young as 3-years-old.
Remarkably, the package insert instructs, in part, as follows:
“Never attempt any other functions or gymnastic functions or rough
play on the trampoline, this trampoline is designed for young children
ONLY. The only function on this trampoline should be a controlled
bounce (exercise), for young children. No other functions should
occur other then [sic] controlled bounce.”
The many hazards associated with trampoline use should make it apparent to manufacturers and retailers that such equipment should not be sold as a playtime activity for young children. |
