It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt -- and a new study shows trampolines are responsible for a lot of hurt. More than 1 million people went to emergency departments for trampoline-related injuries between 2002 and 2011, with nearly 300,000 of those injuries involving broken bones, according to a new study. And these injuries don't come cheap -- the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics study showed that the total emergency department expenses for them was $1 billion, and more than $400 million for fractures specifically.
