A Saturday afternoon at a trampoline park in Midland should be defined by the sound of laughter and the energy of a birthday party. Whether you are at the Urban Air on North Midkiff Road, Legacy Extreme on Starboard Drive, or the Altitude just down the road in Odessa, you expect that the wristbands you purchased and the waiver you signed at the kiosk come with an implicit promise of safety. But for many families in the Permian Basin, that afternoon ends with "the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child," as Kati Hill described to ABC News when her three-year-old son’s femur snapped during a "Toddler Time" session. At The Manginello Law Firm, we know that when your child is rushed from a Midland facility to a trauma bay, your world stops. You are likely being told it was a "freak accident" or that "accidents happen." We are here to tell you that in our 25-plus years of experience, a trampoline injury is almost never an accident—it is the predictable output of a business decision. For over two decades, our founder Ralph Manginello has stood toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 corporations like BP, Walmart, and Amazon. We bring that same fearlessness to the national trampoline park conglomerates and insurance carriers that currently hope you believe the waiver you signed is an absolute shield. It is not. We represent families in Midland and throughout Midland County who are facing the life-altering consequences of catastrophic pediatric fractures, traumatic…

Town of Crawford Trampoline Park Injury and Pediatric Catastrophic Accident Attorneys Attorney911 of Houston TX: 25-Year Federal Trial Veteran Ralph Manginello and Former Recreational-Industry Defense Insider Lupe Peña Defeating Sky Zone Urban Air and Altitude Waivers with Mastery of ASTM F2970 AAP 2019 and EN ISO 23659:2022 Standards to Win Pediatric TBI Cervical SCIWORA and Salter-Harris Growth Plate Settlements Like the $11.485M Cosmic Jump Harris County Verdict and $15.6M Damion Collins Urban Air Arbitration for Town of Crawford Families Holding Corporate Parents Palladium Equity and Seidler-Backed Unleashed Brands Accountable for All Sky Rider Go-Kart Foam Pit and Backyard Jumpking Skywalker or Springfree Manufacturer Defects — Hablamos Español 1-888-ATTY-911 No Fee Unless We Win

In the Town of Crawford, the weekend rhythm often centers around youth sports, family gatherings, and the search for high-energy recreation. Whether families are heading toward the high-traffic corridors of Waco or Temple to visit a commercial adventure park or watching children play on a residential trampoline in a backyard here in the Town of Crawford, the assumption is always the same: that the equipment is safe, the staff is trained, and the risks are manageable. But the reality of the trampoline industry is far removed from the "safe family fun" advertised on glossy websites. One bounce on a poorly maintained mat or one landing in a compacted foam pit can change a life in two seconds. When your child is injured, you aren't just dealing with a medical emergency; you are entering a complex legal and insurance landscape designed to protect corporate margins at the expense of injured families. At Attorney911, led by managing partner Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of courtroom experience, we recognize that what happened in that park or backyard wasn't an accident—it was the predictable output of a system. From our offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, we represent families across Texas and the Town of Crawford to ensure that multi-billion dollar conglomerates are held accountable for the catastrophic injuries they cause. The Worst Scream: When the System Fails Crawford Families Imagine a Saturday afternoon for a family from the Town of Crawford. You’ve driven into Waco for a birthday party at a national…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." That was the account given by Kaitlin "Kati" Hill to ABC News after her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared over 240,000 times on social media, ended with five words that haunt every parent at a hospital bedside in Golinda: "We had no idea." We hear that phrase from families in Falls County and across Texas constantly. You took your child to a facility like Urban Air in Waco or the Xtreme Jump flagship in Temple because you were told it was a safe place for a birthday party or an afternoon of "family fun." You signed a waiver at a kiosk because the line was long and the attendant was rushing you through. You assumed that if a business opens its doors to the public in Texas, it must be following a strict set of safety rules. The truth we have uncovered over 25 years of catastrophic injury practice is that trampoline parks are essentially a self-regulated industry operating in a legal and safety vacuum. In Golinda, the person standing at the edge of that court responsible for your child’s life is often a 17-year-old making minimum wage with less than four hours of training and no CPR certification. The park may have a rules sign posted, but if they decide to…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." That was Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother who told ABC News about the nightmare she lived when her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared over 240,000 times, is a story we hear often at our firm. Families in Woodway and across McLennan County visit these facilities believing they are safe environments for "Toddler Time" or weekend birthday parties. We see the reality behind the foam pits and the neon lights. We see the Salter-Harris fractures, the traumatic brain injuries, and the medical bills that outpace a family’s savings in a single afternoon. If you are reading this from a hospital bed at a facility like Baylor Scott & White in Waco or after a long drive back to Woodway, you need to know one thing: what happened to your child was not a "freak accident." It was the predictable output of a system. For over 25 years, Ralph Manginello and our team have fought catastrophic injury cases against the largest corporations in the world. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and brings federal court experience that the park’s corporate lawyers understand. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who used to write the very waiver language that Sky…

If your child has been catastrophically injured at a trampoline park serving City of West or on a residential trampoline in a Central Texas backyard, you are likely reading this at a bedside. You are likely in a hospital room at McLane Children’s in Temple or a trauma bay in Waco, watching a team of specialists explain what a Salter-Harris fracture or a cervical cord contusion means for the next seventy years of your child’s life. The first thing you need to hear is this: None of this is your fault. You signed the waiver at the kiosk because the line was long and the attendant pointed to the screen. You let your child jump because you wanted them to have fun on a Saturday afternoon in City of West. You trusted the brand—whether it was Urban Air, Sky Zone, or Altitude—to follow the safety standards their own industry wrote. They failed. They chose margin over your child’s spine. They chose throughput over the safety of the smallest jumpers. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of trial experience, we have spent decades making corporate giants like BP and Fortune 500 retailers pay for those kinds of decisions. We aren't just local lawyers; we are a nationwide authority on trampoline accountability, and our fight starts the moment you call us at 1-888-ATTY-911. The Reality of Trampoline Injuries in City of West A trampoline injury is never just an "accident." In the legal world, an accident is an…

The first thing you hear isn't the impact. It isn't the sound of the springs or the rustle of the foam cubes. It is the scream. As Kaitlin "Kati" Hill told ABC News after her three-year-old son Colton was injured during a "Toddler Time" session at a park, it was "the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." Colton’s feet hit the mat, his knees buckled, and his femur—the strongest bone in the human body—snapped in an instant. If you are reading this in a waiting room at McLane Children’s Medical Center in Temple or at a trauma bay in Waco, you are likely feeling two things: terror and guilt. You think about the kiosk at the Urban Air on West Waco Drive where you signed that digital document. You think about the "Toddler Time" advertisement that promised a safe environment for small children. You feel like you failed to protect your child. We are here to tell you that this was not your fault. What happened to your child wasn't a freak accident. It was the predictable output of a business model that prioritizes throughput over safety. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of experience in catastrophic injury law, we see these cases for what they are: systemic failures. Whether the injury happened at the local Waco Urban Air, the massive Xtreme Jump flagship in Temple, or on a backyard Jumpking or Skywalker trampoline in a neighborhood off Highway 6, the…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." That is Kaitlin Hill, a mother whose warning about her son’s broken femur at a trampoline park was shared over 240,000 times. We have read those words, and we have heard that scream in our own practice. If you are a parent in Valley Mills standing at the bedside of your child in a trauma bay, we want you to know two things immediately. First, this is not your fault. You signed a waiver at a kiosk because you wanted your child to have fun. Second, the park’s failure to keep your child safe was the predictable output of a business decision, not an unavoidable accident. For over 25 years, Ralph Manginello has fought for families facing catastrophic life changes. At Attorney911, we are launching our dedicated trampoline injury practice from a foundation of multi-million dollar results in traumatic brain injury and spinal cord litigation. We bring the same tenacity to Valley Mills cases that we brought to the BP Texas City refinery litigation. The parent conglomerates and private equity sponsors behind brands like Sky Zone, Urban Air, and Altitude do not intimidate us. We know their playbook because our team includes attorney Lupe Peña, who used to sit on the other side of the table defending insurance companies and recreational businesses. Now, we use that insider knowledge to strip away…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." Those were the words of Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother whose three-year-old son Colton suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared hundreds of thousands of times across the country, is the reality behind the bright lights and loud music of the indoor jump centers children across the City of Ross frequent every weekend. We know that for families in the City of Ross, a trip to a jump park in nearby Waco or Temple is supposed to be about birthday parties and burning off energy. But as a firm with 25+ years of experience fighting for injury victims, we also know that what looks like a playground is actually a high-velocity physics lab designed to maximize profit at the expense of pediatric safety. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, we have spent over two decades holding corporate giants like BP and Walmart accountable. We are launching our dedicated trampoline injury practice in the City of Ross to send a clear message to operators like Urban Air, Sky Zone, and Altitude: a signed waiver is not a license to maim children. With a legal team that includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who used to write and defend the very waivers these parks rely on, we have the insider knowledge to dismantle their defenses. If your…

The worst sound a parent in City of Robinson will ever hear often happens on a Saturday afternoon, between the second slice of pizza and the birthday cake. It is the sound of a pediatric femur—the strongest bone in the human body—snapping under a load it was never engineered to handle. Kaitlin Hill, a mother who lived this nightmare, described it to ABC News in a single sentence that has since been shared a quarter of a million times: "It was the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." When your child is the one screaming at a trampoline park serving City of Robinson, the world narrows down to the blinking lights of a trauma bay at a facility like Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Hillcrest or a Level 1 pediatric center in the region. In those moments, you aren't thinking about corporate hierarchies, private equity sponsorships, or ASTM F2970-22 sub-provisions. You are thinking about your child. But as you sit at that bedside, the park’s risk management team is already moving. Before the EMS unit even clears the parking lot in City of Robinson, the process of protecting the park’s margin at the expense of your child’s recovery has begun. They have a system for denying trampoline injury claims. We have a system for winning them. We are The Manginello Law Firm—Attorney911. We are a catastrophic injury firm founded on the belief that a trampoline injury is never an accident; it is the…

"His feet hit the mat, and almost instantly his knees buckled down, and he just let out the worst scream that you could ever have heard from a child." Those words, spoken to ABC News by Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother whose three-year-old son Colton suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park, haunt every parent who has lived through a Saturday afternoon in the trauma bay. For families here in the City of Riesel, that scream is the sound of a life changing in two seconds. It is the sound of the "worst miracle"—the moment a child is launched by physics they cannot control into a future of surgeries, body casts, and physical therapy. We are The Manginello Law Firm—Attorney911. We represent families in the City of Riesel and throughout McLennan County whose lives have been upended by the commercial trampoline industry and defective backyard equipment. We wrote this guide because the "worst scream" isn't an accident. It is the predictable output of a business model that puts margin ahead of minors. If your child is in a hospital bed right now, or if you are dealing with a permanent disability after a bad landing, you need more than a "personal injury lawyer." You need an attorney who can quote ASTM F2970 Section 10 from memory, who knows that your child was injured because the park operated at 50% of the required attendant ratio, and who has spent 25+ years making multi-billion-dollar corporations pay for their choices. Why the…
