Parish was jumping on a backyard trampoline, made by Jumpking that was surrounded by a safety net, called a fun ring, made by ICON. He did a back somersault but landed on his head and was rendered a quadriplegic. He sued ICON and Jumpking for failure to warn of the dangers involved in using the products. The district court granted summary judgment for the manufacturers; Parish appealed.

1. The Iowa high court held that there was no failure to warn of the dangers of a trampoline, so the maker was not liable for injuries suffered by a user. Could it be that the dangers of such a product are such that it should simply be banned because it is too dangerous and simply cannot be made safe?
2. The plaintiff here was an adult; would it be different if a small child, who would be less likely to pay attention to the warnings, had been injured?
