Trampolining as an activity brings enjoyment and many health benefits, but at the same time it carries an injury risk. Most domestic trampoline users are children who are developing in skill, cognition, risk perception, physical strength and resilience to injury. Several common patterns of child trampoline injuries have been identified and countermeasures outlined in standards have been taken to reduce higher risk injury mechanisms, such as entrapment and falls from the trampoline through design, product and point of sale labelling. In Australia, the first national trampoline standard was published in 2003 which introduced improvements in trampoline design and requirements for labelling and padding. This work investigated the potential impact of these and subsequent changes based on almost two decades of emergency department trampoline injury data collected in Queensland, Australia. These data describe the changing representative proportion and pattern of trampoline injuries in Queensland over time by age, mechanism, gender, severity and nature of injury of injured persons up to the age of 14 years. The interrelationships between different injury characteristics were also analysed to propose the main factors influencing injury occurrence and severity. These findings seem to indicate that safety evolution in the form of enclosure nets, frame impact attenuation and entrapment protection have likely improved domestic trampoline safety. Other factors, such as adult supervision, minimum age and avoidance of multiple users, could further reduce injury but are harder to influence in the domestic setting.
蹦床作为一项活动，带来了乐趣和许多健康益处，但同时也存在受伤的风险。大多数国内蹦床使用者是正在发展技能、认知、风险感知、体力和对伤害的恢复力的儿童。已经确定了几种常见的儿童蹦床受伤模式，并在标准中采取了对策，以通过设计、产品和销售点标签减少更高风险的受伤机制，例如被困和从蹦床上跌落。在澳大利亚，2003 年首次发布了国家蹦床标准，该标准改进了蹦床设计，并对标签和衬垫提出了要求。这项工作根据澳大利亚昆士兰州近 20 年收集的急诊科蹦床受伤数据，调查了这些标准和随后的变化的潜在影响。这些数据描述了随着时间的推移，昆士兰州不同年龄段、受伤机制、性别、受伤严重程度和受伤性质的蹦床受伤比例和模式的变化。还分析了不同损伤特征之间的相互关系，以提出影响损伤发生和严重程度的主要因素。这些发现似乎表明，以围网、框架冲击衰减和防夹保护形式出现的安全演变可能提高了国内蹦床的安全性。其他因素，如成人监督、最低年龄和避免多个使用者，也可以进一步减少受伤，但在国内环境中更难影响。
