And visitors to Sky High are being rushed to local hospitals in alarming numbers.The pictures and the x-rays tell the story.The right leg of a 21-year old Kirkland man broke last November while he was jumping on a trampoline at the Bellevue center. His mother was so concerned about the injury and what she calls a lack of safety at Sky High.Julie Brand said shortly after the injury, “thank goodness they had already started him on morphine, but I was just completely shocked. I mean, you saw the images, his leg was blown-up. The bones had come out of the skin. It was bleeding, I mean, it was truly,” Brand’s voice trailed-off, then she continued “the nurse looked at me and said, you aren’t going to faint are you?”According to documents obtained by KIRO 7 Consumer Investigators, both the man’s tibia and fibula had snapped right above the ankle. Emergency responders wrote in their report, the young man was, “jumping on (a) trampoline, landed, and felt (a) snap in (his) lower leg.”Brand says it happened when her son was jumping from trampoline to trampoline as Sky High’s Web site video advertises is possible.
