The following are excerpts from a Wikipedia entry on the company Sky Zone that operates trampoline parks.
“In 2017, a three-year-old suffered a broken bone at a "toddler time" jump activity offered by a Florida Sky Zone after an impact with a mat, despite a 2015 statement by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons that children under six should not be allowed to use trampolines, due to safety concerns.”
“A news investigation revealed a pattern of recurring injuries at Sky Zone parks, including broken bones. These injuries, the investigation found, were caused by people getting their feet caught in the trampolines' metal frame or by being fallen on by others. A lawsuit connected to this investigation alleges dangerous design flaws, and points to internal Sky Zone worker manuals that warn about the pads, a warning reportedly not given to customers.”
“Adults have also been part of these patterns of injuries. Joba Chamberlain, former New York Yankees pitcher, suffered from extreme blood loss after breaking his ankle at a Sky Zone park in 2012.”

“Investigative Reporter Eric Rasmussen uncovered videos and internal records from Sky Zone that lawyers say reveal hidden dangers and raise questions about whether the company is doing enough to keep customers safe.
“The attitude toward the injuries prior to our [client’s] accident shows me a cavalier disregard for the danger,” said Marty Rosenthal, lawyer for 17-year old Owen Mooney who broke his tibia and fibula while jumping at Sky Zone Boston in 2011. “From our point of view, it's more than a broken leg case. It's four surgeries, a year out of his life, it's some permanent impairment and it's pretty willful or reckless indifference to this hazardous design.”
“Sky Zone’s own incident reports highlight the problem. In report after report, customersdescribe injuries involving either trampoline mats or the protective pads around the metalframe. Mats and pads appear to be of concern for Sky Zone too. An employee manual obtained by 25 Investigates warns workers to “BE AWARE OF THE PADS.”
