Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan
trampoline
Is there any liability release form that would protect me if I let friends use our trampoline?
Even if it would not protect me completely, would it be worth having them sign something?

Re: trampoline
A properly worded form can release adults but not their children. Since the trampoline is used mostly by young people, you really cannot do a lot to protect yourself. I must point out that trampolines are some of the most dangerous devices because when an injury occurs, it can be devastating. Bill Stern
Re: trampoline
A release is never ironclad. Anyone can sue anybody for anything, the facts will determine the outcome. A well drafted release can significantly reduce the likelihood that you will be sued. Trampolines are notoriously dangerous and are liability magnets. I applaud you that you have taken the time to consider the liability angle of owning a trampoline. Allow nonfamily members to use the trampoline at your risk. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
