An 11-year-old, Ramin Azizi, fell about 20 feet from an unauthorized zipline at Aerosports Trampoline Park in Scarborough, Ontario, on Jan. 3 after his harness reportedly failed. The fall was recorded by his parents; Ramin landed on a disused go-kart track and was taken to SickKids, where he was released the next day with bruises but no broken bones. Ontario’s TSSA said the zipline had not been authorized and has been closed; legal action may follow. The family has launched a GoFundMe to cover recovery and legal costs, noting Ramin may need additional support as he is on the autism spectrum.

An 11-year-old boy is recovering after falling roughly 20 feet from a zipline installed without authorization inside an indoor trampoline facility in the Toronto area. The incident, captured on video by the child’s parents, has prompted questions about safety oversight and potential legal action.
What Happened
The fall occurred on Jan. 3 at Aerosports Trampoline Park in Scarborough, Ontario, when the harness on an obstacle-course zipline reportedly failed as the boy, identified by his parents as Ramin Azizi, attempted to cross. Ramin fell onto an unused go-kart track below and landed on his back.
"Even looking back, whenever I look at the video, I can like... I have no words to explain that," Ramin’s mother, Mona Azizi, told CBC. Ramin later told CTV News, "I was all worried about passing away."
Response and Medical Update
According to the family, other parents at the facility called 911 and remained with the Azizis until paramedics arrived. The family says staff did not immediately call emergency services; one parent reportedly placed a jacket under Ramin’s head while they waited for help. Toronto police described the incident as non-criminal.
Ramin was taken to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and was released on Jan. 4 after tests. His parents said he sustained bruising but no broken bones, and they consider themselves fortunate he avoided more serious injuries.

Regulatory and Legal Issues
Ontario’s Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) told reporters the zipline had not been registered or authorized with the regulator and has since been closed. A TSSA spokesperson said legal action against the park is possible. Aerosports Trampoline Park issued a brief statement saying the matter is under review by legal counsel and its insurer and declined interviews because the incident involves a minor.
Family Action
The Azizis have launched a GoFundMe to help cover Ramin’s recovery needs and possible legal expenses. The family noted Ramin is on the autism spectrum and may require additional therapy and psychological support following the fall.
Key details: The fall happened Jan. 3 at Aerosports Trampoline Park in Scarborough, the harness reportedly failed, the child landed on a disused go-kart track, was released from SickKids on Jan. 4 with bruises but no fractures, and the TSSA has closed the zipline as it was not authorized.
