If your eight-year-old child comes off a trampoline court in a facility serving the China Grove community with a shattered tibia, the operations manager will likely hand you a clipboard before they call 911. It is a moment of pure, systemic friction. You are in shock, your child is in agony, and the park is already executing a risk-management protocol designed to protect their margin, not your family. In that moment, you don't need a generalist personal injury lawyer. You need an attorney who can quote ASTM F2970 from memory, who knows exactly which "Wipe-Out" or "Sky Rider" attractions are failing children across the country, and who has spent 25 years making multi-billion-dollar corporations pay for their decisions. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm. Led by managing partner Ralph Manginello, our firm brings over two decades of courtroom experience and a federal court admission to the fight against the trampoline industry. We are launching our dedicated trampoline injury practice from our Texas base to serve families in China Grove and across the United States. We have gone toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 giants like BP, Walmart, and Amazon. The private equity conglomerates behind national trampoline chains—like Palladium Equity Partners (which backs Sky Zone, Inc.) and Seidler Equity Partners (which owns the Unleashed Brands parent of Urban Air)—hire the same elite defense firms we've already beaten. We are not intimidated by the 5-layer corporate stack of operators, franchisees, and franchisors. We built this firm to pierce those shields. The Worst Scream:…

"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 are the words of Kati Hill, the mother of three-year-old Colton, described to ABC News after her son suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared over 240,000 times on social media, reflects a terror that too many families in Selma and across the I-35 corridor have experienced. Parents walk into these facilities in Selma and surrounding communities believing they are entering a safe, supervised environment for a birthday party or a Saturday afternoon of fun. They sign an electronic waiver on an iPad at a crowded kiosk, hand over their credit card, and let their children onto the courts. What most families in Selma don't realize—and what the parks never disclose—is that they are entering a regulatory vacuum. We have spent more than 25 years fighting for families in catastrophic injury cases. Our founding partner, Ralph Manginello, has taken on Fortune 500 giants like BP, Walmart, and Amazon. Our team includes attorney Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense lawyer who used to represent the very same recreational businesses and insurers we now sue. He knows exactly how their waivers are written and which holes in those waivers a Texas court will use to strike them down. We aren't just "personal injury lawyers" who handle anything that comes through the door; we have built a dedicated practice…

"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 the voice of Kaitlin Hill, a mother who watched a Saturday afternoon of fun turn into a nightmare. We have heard echoes of that scream for over twenty-five years. Whether it happens at a birthday party at the Urban Air near New Braunfels or in a quiet backyard in a Schertz neighborhood off FM 3009, the sound is the same—the sound of a child’s life changing in two seconds. We are Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in the pursuit of justice for victims of catastrophic injury. We didn't build our firm to handle run-of-the-mill accidents. We built it to take on multinational corporations like the parent companies of Sky Zone, Inc. and Unleashed Brands. When your eight-year-old is rushed to a Level 1 pediatric trauma center like University Hospital in San Antonio with a shattered tibia because an attendant was on his phone, you don't need a lawyer who is "learning" this area of law. You need a team that can cite ASTM F2970 from memory and knows that in Texas, the waiver you signed at the kiosk is often not the shield the park thinks it is. The Reality of Trampoline Injuries in Schertz Across America, more than 300,000 trampoline-related ER visits occur every year. In a growing community…

"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 how Kaitlin "Kati" Hill described the moment her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a snapped femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared hundreds of thousands of times across the country, ends with a phrase we hear from almost every family that calls our office: "We had no idea." If you are reading this from a hospital bedside at a trauma center serving Lytle or in the quiet of your home while your child recovers in a body cast, you are likely feeling the same mix of terror, guilt, and confusion. You signed a waiver on a digital kiosk. You saw the bright colors and heard the music. You believed the park was a safe place for a Saturday afternoon. We are The Manginello Law Firm — Attorney911. We represent families in Lytle and throughout Texas when the "fun" of a trampoline park or a backyard jump session turns into a life-altering medical emergency. We wrote this guide because the trampoline industry is built on a systemic architecture of risk, and the only way to hold it accountable is to understand the physics, the medicine, and the law that they hope you never research. One bounce. One bad landing. One broken neck. That is all it takes. But your child’s injury was not an accident; it was the predictable output…

One bounce. One bad landing. One broken neck. That is all it takes at a trampoline park. At a facility serving families in Fair Oaks Ranch, a seven-year-old recently came off a court on a stretcher. His parents had signed the electronic waiver at the kiosk twenty minutes earlier. They believed the "safety rules" on the wall were being enforced. They believed the teenager in the yellow shirt was a trained safety professional. They believed the park was designed to keep their child safe. They were wrong. We are The Manginello Law Firm, also known as Attorney911. With over 25 years of experience fighting for injury victims in Fair Oaks Ranch and across Texas, we have seen exactly what happens when corporate profit-margins collide with pediatric safety. We know the 48-hour window after a Fair Oaks Ranch trampoline injury is the most critical time for your family’s future. We know that the park’s insurance adjuster is already working to close your file. If your child was injured at a trampoline park in the Fair Oaks Ranch area, you are likely sitting in a hospital room at University Hospital or Methodist Children’s in San Antonio right now. You are feeling guilt. You are feeling terror. You are wondering if that piece of paper you signed at the front desk means you have no rights. Think again. Texas courts have awarded millions of dollars in cases exactly like yours—even when a waiver was signed. In Harris County, a jury awarded $11.485 million…

The Parent’s Complete Guide to Trampoline Park and Backyard Injuries in City of Windcrest The Worst Scream: When "Family Fun" Becomes a Texas Nightmare A Texas mother named Kaitlin "Kati" Hill once shared a warning that resonated through every parent group from the Rio Grande Valley to the Red River. She took her three-year-old son, Colton, to a "Toddler Time" session at a park that promised a safe environment for small children. Instead, what she experienced was a trauma that changed her family forever. As she told ABC News, Colton’s 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." Colton didn't just have a bruise. He had a broken femur—the strongest bone in the human body—and he spent weeks in a body cast. Kati’s warning post was shared over 240,000 times because it struck a chord with a terrifying truth: parents in City of Windcrest and across Bexar County are being sold a promise of safety while their children are stepping into a system engineered for margin over medicine. We are The Manginello Law Firm, better known as Attorney911. We are a Houston-based firm with a national reach, and we have spent over 25 years fighting for families in City of Windcrest and throughout Texas. Managing Partner Ralph Manginello has been litigating catastrophic injury cases since 1998, with experience taking on Fortune 500 giants like BP. Our team includes Lupe Peña,…

In Von Ormy, we see the pattern repeat every weekend. Families load into cars and head down I-35 or across Loop 1604 toward the large-scale trampoline parks that dominate the San Antonio metro area. Whether you are visiting The Rush Fun Park, Urban Air, or Altitude, the expectation is the same: safe, supervised, high-energy fun for your children. But for many families in Von Ormy and throughout Bexar County, that afternoon ends in an emergency room at University Hospital or the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. We have spent more than 25 years standing with families at the trauma-bay bedside. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, our

"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 "Kati" Hill, telling ABC News about the moment her three-year-old son, Colton, suffered a broken femur at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared over 240,000 times, echoes what we hear from parents in Universal City and across Bexar County every month. They thought it was "safe family fun." They had no idea. At Attorney911, we know exactly what is happening behind the colorful foam pits and neon lights of trampoline parks serving the Universal City area. We represent the families standing at the bedside at University Hospital in San Antonio, watching a pediatric surgeon explain what a destroyed growth plate at age nine means for a child's future. We know that when a child is injured at Urban Air on Fourwinds Drive or The Rush Fun Park on Pat Booker Road, the clock doesn't just start ticking for medical recovery—it starts ticking for the evidence. One bounce. One landing. One bad business decision by a park operator. That is all it takes to change a life in Bexar County. If your child was hurt, you aren't just looking for "a lawyer." You need the team that has spent 25 years making corporate defendants pay. You need Ralph Manginello and an associate attorney like Lupe Peña, who used to defend these same recreational businesses and knows precisely where their…

One bounce. One bad landing. One broken neck. That is all it takes for a family in the City of Terrell Hills to have their lives altered forever at a trampoline park. At the centers serving the City of Terrell Hills and the surrounding San Antonio metro, such as the Urban Air locations on Fourwinds Drive or SW Military, or the massive 30,000-square-foot Altitude Trampoline Park off IH-10, thousands of children take flight every weekend. Their parents stand at the observation rail or sit in the cafe, having signed a digital waiver at a kiosk twenty minutes earlier. They believed that piece of paper was a routine formality. They believed the "Toddler Time" or "Open Jump" session was supervised by trained professionals. They believed the foam pits were deep and the airbags were safe. Then the double-bounce happened. Or the harness on the climbing wall wasn't clicked. Or the 200-pound adult was allowed on the same bed as their 50-pound child. Suddenly, the City of Terrell Hills parent is no longer at a birthday party; they are in the back of an ambulance heading toward University Hospital’s Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, listening to the worst scream they have ever heard from their child. We are Attorney911, and we have spent more than 25 years making corporate defendants pay for catastrophic decisions that maim families. Led by Ralph Manginello, a veteran trial attorney admitted to the Southern District of Texas and the New York bar, our firm has recovered multi-million…

"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 are the words of Kaitlin "Kati" Hill, a mother who watched her three-year-old son, Colton, suffer a broken femur—the strongest bone in the human body—during what was supposed to be a safe "Toddler Time" session at a trampoline park. Her warning, shared more than 240,000 times on social media, ended with a haunting admission: "We had no idea. We would have never put our baby boy on a trampoline if we would have known." For families in Somerset, Texas, that nightmare is closer than you think. Whether you are visiting the popular trampoline parks in San Antonio—like The Rush Fun Park, Urban Air South San Antonio, or Altitude—or you have a Jumpking or Skywalker trampoline in your Somerset backyard, the risks are documented, foreseeable, and, in many cases, the result of corporate decisions that put profit margins above pediatric safety. At Attorney911, led by managing partner Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of trial experience, we don't treat these as "accidents." Since 1998, we have held Fortune 500 corporations and institutional defendants accountable for catastrophic injuries. We bring federal court experience and a specialized understanding of trampoline litigation to Somerset families. Our team includes associate attorney Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense lawyer who used to represent the very recreational businesses and insurers we now fight. He knows their playbook…
