Emma Riddle, 6, visited Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park in Port St. Lucie with her mother and sister in December 2025, where they rode electric go-karts. The child was seated with her mom in a double-seat go-kart while her older sister was in a single-rider go-kart. According to Morgan & Morgan injury law firm, the complaint outlines multiple alleged safety protocols ignored that allegedly led Emma's go-kart to accelerate to a high speed and crash into the track wall.
Emma suffered severe injuries and was taken to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, where she later died. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Monday against the business, with the child's parents alleging that Urban Air created dangerous conditions that contributed to Emma's death.
The family claims the adventure park ignored safety rules and manufacturer guidelines. At 50 inches, Emma was nearly a foot shorter and twelve years younger than the manufacturer's minimum stated recommendations for operating a double-seat go-kart, and yet, she was permitted to ride, the lawsuit alleges. Earlier this year, the Florida Department of Agriculture reached a $300,000 settlement agreement with Urban Air Adventure Park following an investigation into the fatal incident.
Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan said in a statement that Urban Air has a duty to protect every child that walks through their doors, and the firm alleges that they failed Emma. The law firm said it will stop at nothing to hold Urban Air accountable for this tragedy.
