On April 6, at the downstairs of the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital of Ziyang City, Ms. Yang looked tired. In the morning, her daughter Xiaoya had just finished her fracture reduction operation.
Recalling the accident three days ago, she was still a little scared.

Acknowledge that there is a certain responsibility to prepare for insurance claims
Regarding the two girls who fell into fractures after playing on the trampoline, the reporter went to Ziyang Wanda Baby King Store on the afternoon of April 6. The trampoline was located in the innermost area on the right side of the playground.
The reporter saw at the scene that no children were playing in the trampoline at this time.
The trampoline area is divided into 12 blocks, surrounded by grid lines. There is a simple rock climbing facility on the inner side and two small basketball hoops on the other side.
"It is currently operating normally." The person in charge of Ziyang Wanda Baby King Store said that after the incident, the company has been actively dealing with the matter. "The staff must have been negligent, but the parents have not fulfilled their guardianship obligations."
The reporter noticed that at the entrance of the trampoline there is a notice for entering the kindergarten, which says "Due to the limited number of teachers, we cannot provide one-on-one care for the baby. Please take care of your baby and take good care of your valuables. , Be optimistic about the elderly and children, avoid excessive exercise, which may cause injuries to yourself and others, please parents to do their duty of guardianship" and other prompts.
"We will not evade responsibilities, and we will definitely bear them." The person in charge said that although soft materials are used in the trampoline area, this form of bounce (play mode) cannot completely avoid risks.
"We have all purchased insurance in advance, and we are currently going to go through the insurance claims procedures." He said.
Regarding the unclear payment standards questioned by the parents, the person in charge said that the payment standards are determined by the insurance company and based on the responsibilities of both parties. “The responsibilities of each party will ultimately need to be negotiated. If the parents do not accept it, they can go through legal procedures.”

Trampoline "injury" incidents occur frequently, children are advised to wear protective gear when playing
Reporters searched the Internet and found that there are many safety accidents caused by children playing trampoline.
In July 2019, a 10-year-old girl broke her right leg while playing on a trampoline in an elastic park in Jinan, Shandong.
In December of the same year, an 8-year-old girl in Fujian suddenly fell into a coma while playing on a trampoline.
The doctor said that the child may have a misalignment of the spine during the trampoline, and the probability of lower body paralysis in the future is very high.
In August 2020, Xiaoqin, a 5-year-old child in Jianyang City, accidentally fell while playing on a trampoline in a playground, causing multiple fractures to his right ankle and phalanx, and a minor brain concussion. He was eventually identified as a grade 9 disability.
Behind these trampoline safety accidents, how to divide responsibilities and how to define compensation standards are often the focus of disputes between the two parties.
It is reported that the 5-year-old Jianyang, Xiaoqin, was injured when playing on the trampoline. After mediation by the court, the parents were ultimately responsible for 30%, and the playground was responsible for 70% of the compensation.
Trampoline accidents happen frequently. Are children suitable for trampoline?
According to Jia Xufeng, the chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics at Jianyang People's Hospital, jumping trampoline is good and bad for children.
First of all, in the process of jumping, elasticity will stimulate the bones and joints and promote the child's physical development.
At the same time, during the jumping process, it can exercise the coordination of the children's limbs and strengthen the muscles.
"In addition, it may also improve cardiopulmonary function and bowel motility to some extent." Jia Xufeng said.
"But the impact that children’s joints can withstand is limited." Jia Xufeng said, children are not easy to control the gravity generated when jumping on a trampoline. If they do not control the location during the fall, they will fall easily and may be affected. The bones and spine are damaged, and in severe cases, it can even lead to paralysis. “When children play on the trampoline, it is best to be accompanied by their parents. It is recommended to wear protective gear, etc.”
