[tz] daylight saving and hospital admissions due to trampolines

[Paul Eggert]

A research paper published today concludes that in New Zealand, the 
October spring-forward transition is associated with increased incidence 
of hospital admissions for trampoline-related injuries for children aged 
0-15. The most common injuries are fracture of the radius and/or ulna, 
and humeral fracture. Children aged 5-9 were responsible for almost half 
the studied injuries, followed by children aged 0-4.
