Buffalo Grove is asking the operator of a proposed trampoline club to address safety concerns as it weighs whether to approve the park owner’s application for a special-use permit, officials said.

Xtreme Trampolines, which already has a facility in Carol Stream, has to demonstrate that it “will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare,” according to village code.

The Tribune recently reported that since the Carol Stream park opened in November, emergency call records show that 16 ambulances have been dispatched for trauma ranging from broken ankles and dislocated shoulders to a head injury.

Members of the board were divided Monday evening on whether the trampoline park, where the public can jump around on trampolines stitched together like a giant checkerboard, was less safe than other recreational centers. They also debated whether they would be making a decision best left to parents if the proposal was rejected.

The board is looking at regulations recently passed in Niles, where another center is proposed, that would require children 7 and younger to have a parent present and to have space between trampolines.

For Trustee Lester Ottenheimer, his concern is whether the park will enforce safety measures it says it already has in place.

“We do our best,” Xtreme owner Eric Beck said during the meeting.

Ultimately, trustees agreed that if concerns could be addressed, they would consider approving the center.

Beck said he and his lawyer would work with staff to see if a reasonable agreement could be reached.
