One of the first questions a pediatrician asks a new patient's family is "Do you have a trampoline?" along with "Do you always use proper child restraints in the car?"

When I was 18-19, I won? lost? a trampoline backflip competition. I did 6 1/2 backflips in a row. After my 1/2 flip, the rest of the contestants forfeited. I spent 4 weeks in a neck brace. No other major issues.
ReplyDeleteMy 8 year old niece broke her arm climbing off her family trampoline last month. She was done jumping and tripped over the springs climbing off. Took surgery to pin it back together.
