We report the case of a healthy 44-year-old gentleman who sustained bilateral patellar tendon
rupture while jumping on a trampoline. Although this kind of injury has been reported in
the literature previously, it is extremely rare in healthy individuals. We believe it is the
first documented case associated with the use of a trampoline.
