What Happened To This Little Boy Will Make You Reconsider Going To Trampoline Parks

One of the biggest crazes out there for keeping kids active is taking them to trampoline parks.

It can be a great place to have a birthday party or spend an afternoon in a way that keeps them moving. And to be perfectly honest, it can be a blast for adults as well. It’s a total workout, and staying active alongside children instills healthy habits.

One family who suffered a terrible accident wants to give a warning to others, however, noting that there should be age restrictions in order to protect children and keep them safe.

The Academy of American Pediatrics warns against the dangers of trampoline use for people of all ages.
