Doctors highlight rising number of accidents on trampolines

Doctors are warning that the number of accidents involving childrens' trampolines has doubled in the last decade.

The Irish Association of Emergency Medicine says six out of 10 accidents happen when children are not being supervised.

The association recommends only one child at a time should use a trampoline.

It also says adults who consume alcohol before trampolining often "bounce" themselves into an accident.
