I used to be a supervisor at a trampoline park. While kids were rowdy, older teens, young adults, and parents were the worst offenders. We had very strict rules to prevent injuries like these, yet people thought we were ruining their fun or bullying them. I had to tell them that a bad sprain or broken bone would ruin their fun more than me. I saw plenty of sprains and called paramedics plenty of times. The worst case happened before I worked there, but someone dove head first into the foam pit and went all the way to the bottom. They didn't make it. Trampolines are fun, but I don't think they should be treated as carefree as they currently are.

[@norviidia3402]

I’m convinced too many injuries like that makes these type of places close down. Two different trampoline gyms popped up in my city and closed after 1-2 years.

[@irenegriffin3050]

It's crazy how adults who should know better are the worst offenders! I saw that the one time my son went to one of those places for a birthday party! He got slightly injured (knee) which might have been from landing right after someone else had jumped (that might be the "double bounce"?). Thankfully his knee ended up being OK but we didn't allow him to get back on and he never went back. That's so sad and horrible about the person who was killed in the foam pit! I wonder how these places are still open and active when injuries like that happen. 😞

9:48 "The spine has special curves in it that help you distribute weight while you're standing up" That's cool, I'd actually never learned that. It's also interesting how the curvatures alternate to make the spine more stable (the inward curves (lordotic) act like shock absorbers, while the outward curves (kyphotic) help to distribute weight and maintain balance), kinda like a Jenga tower.

I used to be in gymnastics and I went on the trampoline to practice flips and other tricks all the time, but because I am a cautious person and I was taught trampoline safety from a young age, I never got injured. Please be careful, don't overestimate your abilities, know what you are doing, and be aware of your surroundings.

[@D3WV]

Yea I do gymnastic trampolining and go to trampoline parks all the time. I would say their safe if you know how to use them. It’s always the little kids with no spacial awareness running below you when your doing a flip that get hurt. I think another problem is how unnatural it is to jump on a trampoline especially the Olympic/euro trampolines, they bounce you so high and one little misplacement can injure you

Another thing about Adriana Chechik, the Twitch streamer you mentioned, in the trampoline injury video from two Twitch Con's ago: Turns out, she was pregnant at the time, and suffered a miscarriage as a result. She clarified that she wouldn't have gone on the trampoline area in the first place if she had known that she was pregnant at the time; she only learned about it after she had already miscarried. iirc, she was very recently pregnant, though she did say it hurt emotionally since it had been difficult for her to get pregnant, and she wanted to keep the baby if she did find herself pregnant one day. So not only was she dealing with the emotional fallout of that, but she also had to suffer extreme back pains on the daily. I still wonder the chronic pains she has now as a result of what happened can hopefully someday be cured. I hope she's okay.

My great great uncle (George Nissen) invented the trampoline, and he was well aware of its dangers. Initially, he made it for tumbling but saw its uses as not only a sport but a fun and energetic activity. My grandma (his niece) toured with him all over the world (I recently translated some 60 year old German letters written to her), and she completely destroyed her knees on the thing. She was showing off a big flip, and her knees just gave out. Being that it was the 60s, the treatment at the time was to just take all of the cartlidge out, and she's still dealing with all of that in her 70s. Trampolines are dangerous, but 10/10 would recommend. And no, I don't get any money from trampolines.

Fun fact about Trampolines and Healthcare: they can actually be part of the non-pharmacological interventions for symptom management of Cystic Fibrosis! With smaller trampolines, jumping for a period of time will help patients clear out the mucus that accumulates in the lungs, reducing bacteria load and improving breathing. It's also great because kids tend to be more receptive to playing in the trampoline than other physical expecturation exercises, making a great addition to their daily regiment!

[@Wawagirl17]

Mmmm, interesting fact to learn in the wild like this. As a CF-er (32-years old now) who had a large trampoline in the backyard as a kid, my mom used to always emphasize to my dad how it was important for my lungs, but a part of me thought she may have been exaggerating so that he wouldn't take it down to avoid homeowner's insurance problems, lol.

Growing up on the autism spectrum in the 90s, my parents bought me a small trampoline that we kept indoors at all times and usually in the basement. I absolutely loved it because it allowed me to get much of my hyperactivity as a young child out of me. Unfortunately because it was small I wasn't able to use it for very long because I got bigger and the harder I jumped the easier it was for my head to hit the ceiling.

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

[@lfleia]

We have one for our little too! When she got too big for it recently, we bought a bigger one with a full enclosed net, ensured it was in a secure area free of any materials or items that could get under it and secured to the ground. We know we might need to get an outdoor one at some point, because it's just her way of stimming, nothing seems to give her the same satisfaction as bouncing, so we're investigating how to go about that in the safest way possible. I noticed in a large amount of the videos that there was more than one person on it, and even with my minimal knowledge I know that's a huge no-no and increases injury risk exponentially.

[@envymordecai4429]

Mom had to go to the ER for chest pains recently and in the X-ray waiting room was a dad with his 10 year old. I asked what happened and dad rolled his eyes simply stating the name of the local trampoline park 😂 “Oh yeah. We’ve been through that a handful of times with my brother.” Never heard of somebody being permanently injured at our local place but my god now I’m terrified. Also in regards to the Twitch incident, Adrianna “crushed” her spine when she jumped into the foam pit. She didn’t realize how shallow the pit was. The injury resulted in the termination of a pregnancy she didn’t know about (she was under a month along I believe) as well as permanent nerve damage to her bladder. She wasn’t the only one who was hurt.

[@ChickItsAwesome]

This video makes me realize just how much effort my parents put into choosing a trampoline when I was little. It had nets, room for me, my brother, and multiple guests to be on there safely, it was strong, etc, etc… and I’m pretty sure they supervised us when we played on it.

Keep in mind a child isn’t capable of always making the right choices even with the right knowledge. The best way to prevent injury is to make to make them more safer for children, if a kid can touch a metal spring in any way, it’s impossible for them to remain safe.

[@joshuably2456]

I agree. I think trampoline parks having a little trampoline safety demonstration prior to you entering would do a lot of good. Not just stuff like don’t land on your head, but teach how to control bounces a little and stop the bounce would help so much with many of the injuries. Trampolines really aren’t that dangerous if you can use them right.

[@Kitsune1989]

6:00 Thank you Dr Mike! The absence of being able to feel pain at all is not the good thing a lot of people seem to think it is. I have several spots where I've fucked myself so hard I can't feel pain sensation in that area at all. Yeah, nobody enjoys a broken rib. But you know what else people don't enjoy? Having their coworker bend over to pick something up and see a sudden emergence of a dorsal fin from where the rib broke initially, then shifted through the skin when the body moved much later. I had no reason to bend over until then so it never shifted outside until I did. Oh when I walked into the ER when I went to do laundry and realized my pants were soaked with blood. Turns out that harmless fall I though I had? I had actually split my leg to the bone from knee to ankle and didn't realize until I was popping the clothes in the washer so all I'd have to do after showering is press start. Turned out I also had a puddle in my car to clean up and a trail all to my house as well. If I could feel pain then I could have called a paramedic as soon as I got kicked instead of going on an hour long ride, half hour of untacking in a definitely sterile horse stal, another half hour of driving and whatever time it took to coral the dogs and laundry. Because I couldn't feel pain not only did I need stitches, but my continued exposure to non sterile environments left me with a raging infection and fever, bone and other leg stuff damage from walking on a leg I shouldn't rightfully been able to stand on otherwise and ages of bedrest. Not to mention having to hire a cleaning company to deal with the multiple blood stains. Pretty sure they thought I had murdered someone lol. It's not just yay, no painkillers necessary. Pain is the body telling you you done fucked up. And if you can't feel pain you won't move to fix the situation. I have a friend who lost fingers because she didn't realize her hand was on a hot burner and they had to amputate one finger and partially another after the burns got necrotic infectioned.

But I still had a major fight because the doctors couldn't decide if they should do the surgery at the hospital I was taken to or fly me out. Once everything was decided, the surgery done, and I was home, I still had to work for weeks to keep gang green from setting in. I still do not trust trampolines.

My husband got a knee injury from a double bounce. I mean he was a full grown adult on a kid's trampoline, with another full grown adult and kids. It was a bad situation to begin with. The other adult double bounced him and since it was a double bounce the mat didn't give at all when he landed so it was like landing on hard ground. His knee locked up when he came down, tearing his meniscus. He can walk but his mobility is limited and he still deals with pain from the injury pretty often.

[@ToastCoast_VerboseBread]

When I was younger, I had spontaneous dislocations of my kneecaps for several years until I was taken to an orthopedist, and not too long after (although it was almost cancelled for being "an elective surgery" during covid) I had artificial ligaments in my right knee. This was December of 2019. Then, in October of 2022, I had the same surgery done on my left knee after my left kneecap dislocated while I was volunteering at my local library during the summer. The first surgery went well, and I recovered without much issue. But after the second surgery, recovery was significantly more difficult and I can no longer run. You really do miss what you used to have once it's gone. Keep in mind that I'm still really young, too; I'm only 17. Please be careful and always listen to doctor mike he's right by default :)

The trampoline in our back garden had netting, stones to prevent it being moved during strong winds and my grandparents limited the amount of people who could go on at the same time to 2-3 people.

I don’t think trampolines should be illegal however trampoline parks and backyard trampolines maybe should be. Trampoline is a real competitive sport (that I compete) and is even in the Olympics! However if you are a trampoline athlete you train in a competitive gym with coaches who can spot skills and know what they are doing. Most of the bad rep trampolines get are from dumbasses who try and do double or even triple flips in their backyard without any formal training, or kids at trampoline parks.

I'm 41, I grew up using trampolines. Dude I can remember being launched through a wooden fence, into the side of a pool, into the pool, I can't tell you how many times I fell off one... Good times

[@azores15]

No other material thing has given me as much joy as my old trampoline did when I was a kid. I ought to get a new one.

[@duma227]

Same for me. I almost lived on the trampoline as a kid - I loved it so much. I used to do flips off a shed roof onto the trampoline and back! I didn’t get injured once amazingly.

[@Voice_of_Adam]

Doctors HATE trampolines... because they beat diabetes using this one weird trick! [Insert stock photo of angry man with stethoscope]

[@JSTheAnonymousOne]

I've been on trampolines tons of times growing up and never really had an issue. If I did get hurt at all, it was so minor that other stuff caused me more issues... like simply riding my bicycle home from middle school one day or going skiing I stayed away from the edges of the trampoline and kept in mind how close others are+how we land so we don't collide or send the other one flying off. Some of it has to do with a design that could probably need some improvement, others is people not being careful enough. If people are careful and make an attempt to be safe, that really does help a lot

[@rebeccamontague9811]

Dr Red Duke, famous trauma surgeon and Professor at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, TX, completely agreed with you. He hated them as well. It's because of him that I never let my children have or play on one. A neighbor of mine's teen suffered a serious break of one of her ankles shortly after they purchased one.

No amount of warnings will discourage my love of trampolines

[@PsychicSploob]

I was a gymnast as a kid and we had a trampoline at home. I spent almost all of my free time on that thing by myself doing flips and practicing. That said, I would never want to play with other kids on it because I knew how dangerous it was and how often other kids got hurt on it. Of course, I still played with the other kids on it, but I was very careful and tried to make sure things weren't so rough that people could get hurt. I was a boring kid lol

4:04 yeah, that's about right.

[@EvanGray-kl7op]

This is a video i was waiting for. Is it possible that you could do a video reacting to funny videos or AFV which is technically people just getting hurt. I think that would be a good video, some laughs, some good medical info, some pain. you know, the good stuff. :D

[@abbysworld05]

I remember having a trampoline, and one thing when you grow up in the early 2000s or before, you know people will come to your house just to go on your trampoline, and a lot of the kids on my street went to my school and were in my grade and we were on the same bus, they were jerks but still, one thing I remember is my dad and someone’s dad that lived across the street had to help my dad to get the trampoline cuz multiple times a gust of wind would put it over the fence 😂 luckily we didn’t go on it while that was happening to we never got hurt by getting flown across the fence

[@bluebloxen9941]

0:40 And this is why they’re is a rule cannot be more than one person on a trampoline at one time on indoor trampoline parks and they had to separate the areas for high bounce trampoline versus a low bounce trampoline

[@tripsupstairs]

The one I go to also requires grippy socks to reduce slipping

just watching this made my knees hurt... growing up with trampolines I would hurt my right ankle repetitively, then going into volleyball I injured it twice so I am sensitive to hearing about joint issues...

[@sophierender5736]

I’m so glad the one we had in our garden had a net around it and I was glad it was there as I lent and fell into it all the time, so it saved me from countless injuries! Also, after high winds, we chained it to a tree as it was trying to make an escape 😂

I have a displace spiral fracture still healing from trying to spin on a trampoline and planted my leg and it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced

A guy I went to school with is wheelchair-bound due to a trampoline accident. They tried doing a flip, landed wrong, and can no longer walk anymore.

[@NintCondition]

Rebounder are great for lymphatic system and overall health. To make it safer you can use it with a handle and just do it for health and not for all the crazy jumps.

[@SheWhoWalksSilently]

I’ll tell you what, I too have been hurt at a trampoline park, but it was the foam blocks we were “parkouring” over and I faceplanted and my legs carried over my head scorpion style with the inertia and I heard a very bad pop up my lower back. Initially I thought I had just misaligned my back or something, but as the adrenaline faded, I realized that I had sprained my back. Quite a few years later, I had an x-ray of my neck and found I had also damaged the discs in the lower half of my neck. So I have permanently “wavy” discs, and my one of my other vertebrae grew longer to compensate, and so now I have permanent neck pain. So that’s great 😑 I don’t necessarily blame the trampoline park, they just gave me the opportunity to injure myself. Respect inertia kids, and also don’t go sledding on ice.

[@cashmoonan4568]

I literally take notes during your videos

[@silverchan9999]

I went to skyzone when I was a kid and they would have like a time limit for when you can go on and jump around on the trampoline, there were usually a few other people jumping around far away and had a section in the main trampoline for kids on one side of the large trampoline to the other side for adults, and then this mix in the middle, which barely anyone went on. It was a fun place, and looking back on this method they use, although disappointing to kid me, did help prevent any bad concussions like accidentally hitting your head into another kid, I still have some socks they give you to wear at the place and I still have them and wear them sometimes (don't know why but yeah that's basically it in what I have to say about Trampoline park safety methods especially ones I remember, Sky Zone was keen on Safety with that one).

[@georgiapotter2018]

When I was 8 I was on the trampoline and I underestimated where the trampoline was… I landed head first on rock hard dirt and couldn’t feel my entire body. I was rushed to hospital and it was the scariest week of my life. I ended up having a pinched nerve and now I’m turning 19, the nerve is still pinched and I can still feel the pain. After that day my my got me a spring free netted trampoline and it’s so much safer!

[@TorutheRedFox]

here in Ireland when you go to a trampoline park there are very strict rules that you have to follow to avoid things like double bounces from happening

[@CreateBellaART]

you are a good dr

[@wingerwc]

Great story, I once was at a kids party at a gymnastics club, I jumped on the trampoline, landed on the very edge, and catapulted myself into the foam pit, and jarring my neck in the process. I could barely move the next day.

[@momma_bat]

Man, I never had a trampoline, but my best friend growing up did. We are so lucky we never got hurt on it. Being from the southern US we would put a sprinkler on under it during the summer time.

[@SashikuChan]

I went to the Oklahoma school for the blind, and at one point, they had a trampoline with a harness so we couldn't get hurt or fall off. I wish that was a thing! I miss it so much. I almost miss my old trampoline in my back yard when I was 35. It had netting around it and pads on the springs since my depth perception is quite bad and I was prone to losing my balance. Still, it was very fun.

[@AshleyTheFighter]

When I think about how scary trampolines are, I funny enough think about the episode in community where pierce demands to be double bounced and pays the price, compared to real life injuries though, looks like he was on the luckier side

[@mslackadaisical7989]

There was a trampoline park i used to go to, they had the full thing, main floor, foam pit, gladiator bat thing and some other stuff. im guessing something happened because they completely redid the place to be bouncy castles instead. not just a few scattered in a warehouse but they have a whole floor covered in bouncy castle flooring

[@Jaysorr]

I love this guy❤

[@michaelgerow3161]

Sometimes as a kid I would jump for the first time on out trampoline for the year and I didn't know any stretches so would pop and sprain my back and be out of commission for weeks.

[@timrenz6889]

I one time had a neck cramp on my trampoline, i literally thought i broke my neck even though i didn‘t even do a flip or something. Had the paramedics coming because i couldn‘t move my head and i was in great pain. They gave me strong painkillers and took me to the hospital where i got an infusion and it got better. Had a tilted head pisture for a while after that. Was scary

[@DJBLADE1745]

Hi so I’m new here and I was watching this and this is actually a good video because it shows kids that they can be careful on trampolines and my cousin has a trampoline and they have nets and of my cousins brok they skull😢😢 but ur videos are fun to watch

[@chanellkappedal8895]

Once I was on a trampoline and my friends house and one of the springs, That help you bounce flew off. It was scary

[@Chaos.45]

Working at a trampoline park for about a month I’ve seen a a couple bad injuries on the trampolines mostly due to people double jumping to get the extra height for tricks. There was this one time where a kid hit his head in the ceiling because him and his friends were trying to get him more height for a trick.

[@robotlaserman7578]

I remember two times i fell of my trampoline, keep in mind it does have a net around it. ok so the first time I was doing summer-saults around in a circle on it and the net wasn't closed enough so I slipped right through and landed head first. the second time I was getting off the trampoline and standing on the blue part outside of it and my sister pushed me, again I think I landed head first. weirdly enough, I stood right back up and went right back to the trampoline since I was completely un-injured and un-effected whatsoever.
