Recently, a lawsuit was filed against Flight Deck Trampoline Park near White Settlement. This, after a four-year old boy was injured in April of 2017.
The lawsuit claims that while the boy was jumping on a trampoline, other jumpers – who were bigger – joined him on the same trampoline. The alleged recoil effect sent the boy into the air and when he landed on his right leg, he was severely injured.
The boy had Salter-Harris fractures to the growth plates of the tibia and fibula. He has undergone several surgeries, and will need to see an orthopedic specialist every six months until he’s 18 years old.
The lawsuit contends that according to Flight Deck rules, only one person is allowed on a trampoline at a time. When the other jumpers joined the young boy, an employee should blown a whistle indicating a rule was broken.
Flight Deck Trampoline has a waiver that all parents and guests must sign. Some of the items in the waiver include the understanding that there are risks when it comes to trampolines – including injury, emotional injury, paralysis and death. The waiver also states Flight Deck will not pay for any costs to treat injuries, and releases the company from all claims for personal injuries.
