Warning over dangers of some play equipment

During the month of May last year VHI Swiftcare Clinics treated 63 patients for bounce related breaks and sprains.

60 per cent of them happened while on a trampoline – 40 per cent while on a bouncy castle.

The youngest person injured was just under 3 years of age while the oldest was 53.

Girls were slightly more likely to injure themselves than boys.
