Ontario\u2019s public safety regulator has laid charges against a trampoline park<\/a> operator in Scarborough, alleging the company was running a zipline without authorization at the time of an accident that sent an 11-year-old boy to hospital.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) further alleges that KVPM Realty Ltd., the operator of Aerosports Trampoline Park, provided false information to an inspector and operated the device in an unsafe manner.<\/p>\n

The charges have been filed in Ontario\u2019s Court of Justice<\/p>\n

A video taken by the boy\u2019s mother that circulated on social media last month appears to show a child riding the zipline in January before falling from a significant height moments later.<\/p>\n

The boy, who was wearing a helmet, was treated on scene by EMS and taken to Sick Kids hospital.<\/p>\n

Under Ontario law, operators must obtain permits from the regulator before the public can use amusement devices such as ziplines. TSSA said its records showed no zipline had been approved for the facility and the device was shut down during an inspection following the incident.<\/p>\n

The regulator also alleges that a park representative told a TSSA inspector there was no zipline at the facility during a visit in December to inspect a pair of licenced go-kart tracks.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevices operated without TSSA\u2019s knowledge or authorization can pose a serious risk to the public, and we will pursue all necessary regulatory actions to uphold safety requirements,\u201dsaid Kelly Hart, the agency\u2019s vice-president of operations.<\/p>\n
