Warning over dangers of bouncy castle and trampolines
It comes as bounce related injury figures are released.
Parents are being warned about the potential dangers of trampolines and bouncy castles.
During the month of May last year VHI Swiftcare Clinics treated 63 patients for bounce related breaks and sprains.
60% of them happened while on a trampoline - 40% 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.
