Trampoline injuries.

Abstract

We feel that there are dangers on the trampoline if it is poorly supervised. This is especially true in regards to the possibility of spinal cord injury and quadriplegia. We have presented documented cases of quadriplegia and safety suggestions have been given for the use of the teampoline. We hope that by presenting this problem, physicians, who are associated with the prevention and care of athletic injuries, will be made aware of the possibility of the dreaded quadriplegia associated with trampoline injuries and that this injury will be greatly decreased.
