NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Sumner County teen is on the road to recovery after a devastating injury at a trampoline park left her paralyzed from the chest down.

Sixteen-year-old Maggie Isble was spending Thanksgiving break with her siblings when a backflip into a foam pit went horribly wrong. She didn’t rotate fully and landed on her neck, fracturing her C5 vertebrae, according to family.

“It was very scary. We had no idea what was going to happen to her,” said her aunt, Jessica Burton.

Burton said Maggie grew up tumbling, and the family never imagined a routine flip could lead to such life-changing injuries. She believes the foam pit may not have provided enough cushion.

“Not sure if there wasn’t enough foam. We don’t know if the foam moves out of the way,” Burton said.
