A Birthday Celebration Turns Traumatic
On February 7, 2026, a 10-year-old boy named Knox was injured while celebrating his birthday at the Spy Ninjas HQ trampoline park in Las Vegas. During the celebration, Knox fell nearly 20 feet from an indoor zip line, landing on his back and head. The fall resulted in a concussion, leaving the family shaken and the birthday event turned into a traumatic experience for all involved.
The incident, which was captured on video by a relative, shows Knox strapped into a harness before the fall. As Knox plunged to the ground, his family described the moment as horrifying. His uncle, Navonte Hill, called it “the scariest moment” for the family, as they watched helplessly.
Medical Condition and Family’s Response
Fortunately, Knox is expected to recover and return to school soon, though the physical and emotional impact of the fall has been significant. The concussion, though serious, was not life-threatening, and Knox is currently on the mend. However, his family revealed they are too traumatized to revisit the footage of the incident.
For Knox’s family, the event was a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong, even during what should have been a day of fun and celebration. Despite the trauma, they are grateful that Knox’s injuries were not more severe, but the family is left grappling with the emotional aftermath.
Spy Ninjas HQ Responds with Action
In response to the incident, Spy Ninjas HQ expressed deep concern for Knox’s well-being and confirmed that they followed emergency protocols immediately after the fall. The trampoline park temporarily closed its zip line and rope courses while conducting an internal investigation into the safety of the equipment.
The management also brought in an independent safety inspector to audit the equipment, ensuring that all safety measures are up to standard. Additionally, the park retrained its attractions team with an external expert, emphasizing the importance of safety for every visitor.
Safety Measures and Community Support
Spy Ninjas HQ has announced that the zip line will remain closed until the independent inspector deems it safe to reopen. While the incident prompted a review of safety practices, the trampoline park has continued to operate its other attractions and expressed gratitude for the support from the Las Vegas community during this difficult time.
“We are committed to ensuring the safety of every guest who visits Spy Ninjas HQ, and we are doing everything possible to learn from this incident and improve our practices,” the management said in a statement.
