Jersey's Accident and Emergency Department says it saw 91 children who had been injured on trampolines.

The Child Accident Prevention Group has written a leaflet for parents with guidelines to help prevent injuries.

The guide includes tips on how to set up a trampoline safely and how to bounce on it without hurting yourself.

Critical condition

Louise Hamilton from the group said extra precautions like safety nets on trampolines are good but do not negate the need for parental supervision.

She said: "They are a good idea. Basically they're invented to stop the child bouncing off the trampoline.

"It's a very good idea if you buy a trampoline to automatically get the safety net with it but it doesn't prevent parents supervising the child when they're on the trampoline and teaching them how to bounce safely."

The initiative comes just days after a Liverpool teenager was rushed to hospital with a severed spinal cord after falling from a friend's trampoline.

Kenny Beck, 19, remains in a critical condition in hospital.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) said such incidents were on the increase and urged people to think before buying a trampoline.
