Can I Sue If I Signed a Waiver?

It’s possible that the waiver you or your loved one signed is invalid and unenforceable. For instance, certain states prohibit the use of liability waivers for minors. Further, a waiver cannot excuse a facility from exposing people to negligent care and supervision, enhanced risks, or hidden dangers that have a high probability of causing injury.

Sky Zone Trampoline Park Facing Suit Over “Ultimate Dodgeball” Accident

In New Jersey, a lawsuit was filed against Sky Zone on behalf of a nine-year-old boy who allegedly sustained a compound fracture of his right ankle while engaging in a game of “ultimate dodgeball.”

Sky Zone, however, breached this duty and “created an inherently unsafe and ultra hazardous and dangerous game” in which the minor participated and was injured, according to the suit.

The lawsuit alleges, specifically, that Sky Zone failed to place pictorials, warnings or instructions near the dodgeball area and failed to properly supervise and regulate the conduct of those participating in the game. Sky Zone broke its own rules, the suit claims, and allowed “much older, larger and heavier male[s]” to participate in “ultimate dodgeball” alongside the nine-year-old plaintiff.

Is This a Class Action Lawsuit?

No. Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating these cases on an individual basis. This is because individuals’ injuries – and therefore the damages they suffered – will all be different.

What Injuries Are Being Looked At?

Dangers of Trampoline Parks: AAP Advises Against Recreational Use

In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) cautioned against trampoline use at home and issued precautions that the organization said also applied to commercial “jump” parks. In its news release, the AAP said that the smallest and youngest trampoline users are “usually at a greater risk for significant injury, specifically children 5 years of age or younger.”

Several years later, the AAP announced that the growth in popularity of trampoline parks had led to “a soaring number of emergency room visits for injuries sustained at these recreational venues.” The statement referenced a study titled “Trampoline Park and Home Trampoline Injuries” that found emergency room visits for park-related injuries grew from 581 in 2010 to nearly 7,000 in 2014. Males were more likely than females to be injured, according to the study, and the average age of injured patients was 13. The most common injuries reported were lower extremity sprains and fractures; more serious injuries included compound fractures and spinal cord injuries.
