Queensland mum sues indoor play centre for $1.4m after trampoline accident

A Queensland mum is seeking more than $1.4 million from a childrens indoor play centre, claiming a trampoline accident left her debilitated by pain.

Almost two years ago, Carlie Curtis treated her toddler Amelia to a special day out at Crocs Playcentre in Underwood, Queensland.

Amelia wanted her mum to join her on the play equipment, so Carlie asked a staff member whether it was allowed.

"He was like 'yeah, that's fine'. You know, 'parents can go anywhere'," Carlie recalled.

So Carlie, who had given birth to her second child just weeks beforehand, tried the trampoline with her daughter.

"We'd been on and off it at times, but there was no other kids, so I went on it with her this time because she was begging me to," she said.

"[I] went on, jumped, except when I landed, I had hit something, and I just, it was just like, time just stopped.

"I just felt the impact go all the way up my spine."

Carlie had hit a metal support bar, which left her bedridden with pain.

After the accident, she says she struggled to hold baby Allora and her marriage fell apart.

"Because of that incident, everything changed," she said.

"My ability just to get up and tend to my crying baby was taken away from me."

Carlie is now suing Crocs Playcentre in the Supreme Court for loss and damages worth more than $1.4 million.

That figure is based on her ongoing pain and suffering, medical treatments and loss of income.

"I was so angry after it happened, because, you know, I was doing the right thing as a mum," Carlie said.

In a statement, Croc's Playcentres acknowledged Carlie's allegation that she was injured at their Underwood venue, but said it would be inappropriate to speak about that claim while it is ongoing.
