Home trampolines are popular with children and you often see them in the backyards of many families.

Unfortunately, they are also dangerous...

If you must have a home trampoline, you should:
allow only one person on the trampoline at a time.
not attempt or allow somersaults because landing on the head or neck can cause paralysis.
not use the trampoline without shock-absorbing pads that completely cover its springs, hooks, and frame.
place the trampoline away from structures, trees, and other play areas.
not allow a child under 6 years of age to use a full-size trampoline and do not use a ladder with the trampoline because it provides unsupervised access by small children.
always supervise children who use a trampoline.
use a trampoline enclosure, which can help prevent injuries from falls off trampolines.
use impact absorbing safety surface material around the trampoline
regularly check the trampoline to make sure that it is in good working condition and that it hasn't been involved in a safety recall
encourage users to jump in the center of the trampoline mat

I got a 14ft one from eBay. Make sure you get a ladder and an enclosure. We also have a one at a time rule. I've seen several kids bouncing on a smaller one, with no enclosure with only a hard surface to fall onto!


And follow all the advice given by ABH.
