It could be a mild concussion - approach the nearest emergency room

Detailed Answer:
Hi...I understand your concern. Sometimes high jumping trampolines like this can cause -

1. Mild concussion to the brain.
2. Equilibrium apparatus in the middle ear may get disarrayed causing temporary dizziness.

I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room and get him checked out once.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
