Opinion

Peterson, J.

Plaintiff brought this action at law to recover damages for personal injury to himself which resulted from his use of a device known as a “trampoline” on July 11, 1960. Defendant was the owner and operator of a commercial establishment featuring trampolines for use by the public. The ease was submitted to the jury and a verdict was returned in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $6500. From this verdict and the judgment thereon, defendant appeals.

Appellant raises two matters in which it claims the court erred: 1. Whether there is sufficient evidence in the record to show any negligence on the part of defendant. 2. Whether any warning, instruction or supervision by defendant to plaintiff was necessary and was the failure to give same, negligence on the part of defendant.

I. Plaintiff is 35 years of age, a college graduate and is engaged in the work of certified public accounting. On July 11, 1960, at about eight o’clock p.m., he took his little girl, four years of age, to defendant’s trampoline center in the city of Davenport. It was still daylight. The center involved in this ease is one of five such centers maintained by defendant in Davenport.

He paid the cashier in her office for the entrance fee and walked with his little girl out upon the area in which was located a large number of trampolines. Exhibit “2”, shown here, is a photograph of one of the trampolines.
