<abstract>
<p>Trampoline-related injuries are a common type of injury among children. Their incidence has been rising significantly over the years. These injuries may occur due to structural factors or behavioral factors, such as collisions, resulting in various injuries, such as soft tissue injuries, bony fractures, and cervical spine injuries. Trampolines can be designed in different shapes and sizes and with various dynamic properties to suit different uses. Although various industry safety standards have been developed globally to reduce the incidence of trampoline-related injuries, their incidence is still rising. This review aims to explore current emergency department trends in trampoline-related injuries among children. Typically, most trampoline-related injuries are mild, with soft tissue injuries and fractures being the most common type of injury. Extremities, particularly the ankle, are the most frequently injured body parts due to trampoline accidents, followed by head and neck injuries. Furthermore, falling off trampolines was associated with the most severe injuries. Trampolines should be placed on a flat, hazard-free surface, equipped with high-quality padding, used by only one person at a time, and supervised closely by informed adults. Somersaults and flips are prohibited, and children under 6 years should not use trampolines. Future studies should focus on developing universal strategies that involve strict measures, aiming to reduce the incidence of trampoline-related injuries among children.
