A research paper published today concludes that in New Zealand, the October spring-forward transition is associated with increased incidence of hospital admissions for trampoline-related injuries for children aged 0-15. The most common injuries are fracture of the radius and/or ulna, and humeral fracture. Children aged 5-9 were responsible for almost half the studied injuries, followed by children aged 0-4.
