PALM SPRINGS, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Palm Beach County civil lawsuit filed this week claims a visiting customer suffered a serious injury at the Defy Palm Springs trampoline park and that the companies tied to the facility failed to operate and supervise the attraction safely.
The complaint was filed Feb. 4, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, as Gary A. McClain, Jr. and Jennifer McClain v. CircuStrix Holdings, LLC; Trampoline Acquisition Parent Holdings, LLC; and Flying Panda Florida, LLC d/b/a Defy Palm Springs, Case No. 502026CA001350XXXAMB.
According to the filing, the plaintiffs say they live in Gainesville in Alachua County. The defendants are identified as CircuStrix Holdings, LLC, Trampoline Acquisition Parent Holdings, LLC, and Flying Panda Florida, LLC doing business as Defy Palm Springs. The complaint identifies the location as Flying Panda Florida, LLC doing business as Defy Palm Springs, a trampoline park at 964 S. Congress Ave.; the facility currently operates under the Sky Zone brand.
The complaint alleges the defendants owned, operated, managed, and or controlled the trampoline park business at 964 S. Congress Ave., Palm Springs, Florida 33406, describing it as an “extreme trampoline park” that marketed its services in West Palm Beach County, including to Gary McClain.
The plaintiffs claim the defendants had received “multiple notifications and complaints” of injuries involving the equipment before the incident described in the lawsuit, and that the defendants knew of a dangerous condition but failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent it.
The complaint centers on events alleged to have occurred on or about April 26, 2022. The lawsuit says the plaintiffs were paying customers and business invitees on the premises that day. It alleges that while running on the defendants’ equipment, Gary McClain was “seriously injured,” including a bilateral tendon rupture.
In multiple counts, the lawsuit alleges negligence against each defendant. It claims the companies owed a duty to business invitees to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition and to use reasonable care in the operation, supervision, management, maintenance, and control of the trampoline courts. It also alleges the defendants had a duty to warn invitees of latent dangerous conditions they knew about, or should have known about through reasonable care and inspection.
The complaint lists allegations including failures to operate the equipment area safely, establish and enforce safety rules, properly train employees, provide sufficient supervision, and provide adequate instruction or warnings to customers regarding safe equipment use. It further alleges the defendants engaged in an “unreasonable mode of business operation,” and that the alleged dangerous condition was not apparent to customers, describing it as a latent danger.
The lawsuit also includes gross negligence counts against each defendant. In those counts, the complaint alleges the defendants willfully, wantonly, and or intentionally failed to correct or warn about a dangerous condition the companies allegedly knew existed based on prior incidents, and failed to follow known safety policies and procedures.
In addition to Gary McClain’s claims, Jennifer McClain brings loss of consortium claims against each defendant, alleging she has lost companionship, comfort, services, and consortium as a result of the alleged negligence described in the complaint.
The complaint states it is an action for damages in excess of $50,000 and includes a demand for trial by jury. The plaintiffs are represented by Abbott Law Group, P.A., according to the filing. No defense counsel is listed in the complaint.
