Did you ever play on a trampoline as a kid? You probably had a great time, and maybe you want your own kids to experience the same thing. While there is nothing wrong with getting a trampoline, it is important to be aware of the risks that it brings with it, since there are many injuries and even some fatalities every year involving trampolines.
While many might feel like you have the most fun on a trampoline when several people are on it at once, but that is also when most accidents happen. To be safe, only one person at a time should be on the trampoline.
Another common issue is when children jump from an elevated surface onto the trampoline, not realizing that this can send them flying in the opposite direction and have a bad landing.
Your trampoline should have sturdy netting around it to prevent anyone from falling off of it, and preferably it should also be placed on a surface that is soft and free of rocks.
