Incident Overview
In January 2026, an 11-year-old boy named Ramin Azizi sustained injuries after falling from a zipline at Aerosports Trampoline Park in Scarborough, Ontario. The incident occurred on January 3, when the harness he was using failed, resulting in a fall of several meters onto a concrete floor. Ramin was subsequently treated for back injuries and internal bruising at Sick Kids Hospital.
Regulatory Actions
The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), Ontario's public safety regulator, has charged KVPM Realty Ltd., the operator of Aerosports Trampoline Park, with multiple offenses. These include operating an amusement device without authorization, providing false information to TSSA inspectors, and operating the device in an unsafe manner. The TSSA noted that the park did not possess a permit for the zipline, which was shut down during an inspection following the incident.
Kelly Hart, TSSA’s vice president of operations, emphasized the importance of compliance with safety regulations, stating, “Devices operated without TSSA’s knowledge or authorization can pose a serious risk to the public, and we will pursue all necessary regulatory actions to uphold safety requirements.”
Background Context
Prior to the incident, a TSSA inspector visited the park in December 2025 to inspect licensed go-kart tracks. During this visit, a park representative allegedly claimed that there were no ziplines on the premises. This assertion has raised further concerns regarding the park's operational transparency and adherence to safety protocols.
Official Statements & Responses
The TSSA has filed the charges in Ontario’s Court of Justice, where further proceedings are anticipated. The park's management has not publicly commented on the charges as of the latest reports.
Criticism & Opposition
The incident has sparked significant concern among parents and community members regarding the safety practices at amusement facilities. The Azizi family has expressed their demand for answers regarding the circumstances that led to their son's injury, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of safety regulations in recreational environments.
What's Next
As the case progresses through the court system, the TSSA is expected to continue its regulatory oversight of amusement devices in Ontario. The outcome of this case may influence future safety standards and compliance measures for similar facilities across the province.
