Trampoline...OUCH !!!

Ouchhh! I felt the pain! That's terrible! I think I will not allow trampoline in my backyard. My grandchildren who are very playful will certainly jump on them so I'd rather not put a trampoline or anything like that. Children if left o themselves tend to go beyond the limit. Their playfulness sometimes gives them accident so it is up for us adults to do all precautions.

Hi Chevee, I have never been on a trampoline and never had children, but your poor cousin her mind never grows up but her body says different. Tamara

hi chevee oh my tramplines can be really dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. kids seem to get the knack easily but I have known adults who really got hurt on the things. As I used to work as an nurses aid I remember seeing older people come into the ER with all sorts of injuries due to first time on a trampoline.I do not have one and dont plan on getting one either. I do know that there are some sort of rules you are to follow to be sure you are safe. Like anything else thats new to you, you should always find out what the risks are before you venture onto something like this. I know if can be really good exercise as long as you dont hurt yourself.

We did have a trampoline and played on it daily.. Up until we moved to this house 10 years ago, I had my old 50-yr old behind on a trampoline.. We played on the trampoline for about 10 years before we gave it away.. It was such great fun but we gave it away to a niece who had younger children when we moved to our new house.. The most fun that we had on a trampoline was on hot summer evenings, after it had cooled of a bit for the day, we would lay on the cool trampoline with our young son and his friends looking at the stars, talking about the day, school, problems, worries and anything wlse that was on our minds.. We had pillows on the tramploine and really settled in and got comfortable for the evening, it was a great place for our young pre-teen to open up and talk to us about almost anything. We laughed, joked and told stories on the trampoline.. We also had our niece's younger children playing on it with us.. I do remember the trampoline and how much fun and how many memories we made on it.. I almost wish that my son was young again and we could do it all over..
