You might want to think twice before taking your children to a trampoline park. According a study by the British Medical Journal, kids were more than twice as likely to sustain "musculoskeletal and/or orthopedic injuries" using a trampoline at a trampoline park than kids using a trampoline at home.
"The higher tensile strength used in commercial trampoline centers may produce a harder bounce which amplifies the loading in bones and ligaments," the study says.
Amber Worden, a 33-year-old mother of two, told CBS News correspondent Meg Oliver she shattered her lower leg bones while jumping at Defy Trampoline Park in Flint, Michigan, in May.
