Brits Prefer Cozy Nights In Over Socializing

On March 23rd, a 78-year-old grandmother in Oregon is suing a Beaverton trampoline park

for $3 million after a child knocked her.

Down, leading to a hip replacement, Maria Alonus Ruiz was picking up her granddaughter

at Skyzone in March of 2024 when the incident happened.

She was walking near the play area to call her granddaughter when a young kid ran into

her, despite the facility's no-running rule.

The lawsuit says staff didn't enforce the policy and didn't have enough employees to keep

things safe.

Ruiz, a respected activist and educator who helped start Portland's Cinco de Mayo

Festival, and a Latinx studies program at Portland State University.

Now deals with constant pain, numbness in her leg, and trouble walking.

She's also facing emotional stress and can't enjoy gardening like before.

Her lawyer points out that she shouldn't have had to enter the busy jump zone to get

her granddaughter and the park's setup creates too many injury.

Risks.

No word yet from Skyzone since the suit was filed in early March.

This case highlights the need for better safety at these fun spots, especially for families

picking up kids after playtime.
