The BC Coroner's Service is investigating after thge tragic death of a Victoria father at a Richmond trampoline park.
Family and friends have identified the man online as 46 year old Jay Greenwood, a Victoria contractor and father of 2 girls.
Richmond RCMP say the 46-year-old was at the Extreme Air Park with his school-aged children just before 8 p.m. on Saturday (Jan. 20).
It's alleged he was performing a series of acrobatic maneuvers when he fell, suffering serious injuries and going into cardiac arrest.
A friend of the victim is hoping for tougher regulations to clamp down on trampoline businesses.
Chris Ayres, says Greenwood was a contractor and dedicated father of 2 school-aged girls, who were there.
" Like he was a super loving father. Like I've said it before, when we were building he would just about every lunch time leave the site and go to his kids' to their school and spend 10 or 15 minutes with them in their lunch break. You know? He just lived for his kids."
RCMP report Greenwood suffered serious injuries and cardiac arrest.
Ayres says all trampoline facilities should have trained personnel on hand to perform CPR and use a defibrillator.
Meantime the owner of the Flying Sqirrel trampoline facility in Esquimalt, Luke Schueler, is sending his condolences to the victim's family.
He is also assuring customers that safety is their top priority -- with warning signs and guidelines posted on safe use of trampolines.
Scheuler says the Flying Squirrel also has safety videos playing throughout the check-in area, and requires at least one team member who is CPR and Defibrillator (AED) certified to be on site.
He adds monitors are on the courts to strictly enforce rules and monitor patron activity, and eject patrons who engage in unsafe practices.
