   “At this hospital, we see about 150 to 200 children with trampoline injuries per year, split equally between boys and girls. These kids have fractures, spinal injuries, and sometimes serious head injuries. Most injuries occur not because kids fly off the trampoline, but because another child lands on them, or they do something inappropriate, such as riding a bike on the trampoline. If you do have a trampoline, only one person at a time should be on it–with supervision. As more people get on, the risk of injury increases exponentially. If one or two kids jump up, then the trampoline is like concrete for the child coming down. Kids can even break their arms or legs as they land.”–Howard Kadish, M.D., pediatric emergency medicine physician at the Primary Children’s Medical Center, Salt Lake City

   It will be as safe as the employees make it. If they hire a bunch of weekend baggers from Ingles then there is your safety answer.

   From what I know it will be tucked away between Glenbridge Road and Airport Road in a huge building. South Asheville is growing for the middle class once again and that’s a good thing.

      More like ‘LAUNCH Lawsuit Park!’ I wouldn’t be surprised if this “park” was founded by local ambulance chasers…
