Ontario’s public safety regulator says it was not told a zipline was operating at an indoor trampoline park in Scarborough, where an 11-year-old boy fell over the weekend.
The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) said the zipline at Aerosports Trampoline Park falls under its rules, but it did not know it was being used. The regulator has since shut the zipline down.
The boy, Ramin Azizi, was about to ride the zipline when his harness failed, causing him to fall several metres onto a concrete floor. He was taken to the Hospital for Sick Children with internal bruising and has since been released.
His family is asking how the accident happened, saying there were no safety nets or padding below the zipline.
Aerosports Trampoline Park said it is reviewing the incident with its insurers and lawyers and would not comment further. The Ministry of Labour is also investigating.
