Trampoline Liability Risk: Important Information

Questioner

Ls, We bought a trampoline together with our neighbors for our children and theirs. We placed it in a public area so other neighborhood children could also use it. Now I wonder, however, whether we run a liability risk if children other than our own play on it and an accident happens. Kind regards RH

Questioner

Yes, that's possible, because you own an item that you allow others to use. You can be held liable, in particular, if there's a defect in the trampoline. I recommend discussing the rules with the parents and children, and perhaps placing a sign next to them. If the rules have been followed and there is no defect in the trampoline, a parent cannot hold you liable for damage resulting from an accident. This is possible if the damage is provoked by your children during sports and games, but in such cases of sports and games, the requirements are higher. liability.
