Our two little guys (4 & 7) play on ours every day. Great exercise and since our little darlings are ADHD, its good for them and us. That and the swimming pool both.

During today's storms, I witnessed one destroy a set of gutters and another is still 20ft up in an oak tree. Not to mention, they are a pain in the arse to mow the lawn around. Have a good orthopedic doctor on stand by if you purchase one. Otherwise, kids have fun on them. ??

My oldest girl is 15. We got the trampoline when she was 4. Three kids later(the youngest is now 4) and we have experienced zero injuries. And the 15 and 13 year old are competition cheer team members. Daily use by three girls and one boy. In fact, countless neighbor kids nor school friends have been injured either. Guess we have been lucky but it is typically the reckless morons/daredevils who get hurt on trampolines.

This is absolutely completely false...I'm in the insurance industry and I own one. If your carrier increased your rates for that, I highly recommend finding a new carrier

Yep, that was me and my friends. After about a year our acrobatics peaked so we turned the trampoline into MidSouth Wrestling. Multiple neck and back sprains and one broken arm.

I used ours almost daily when I was a kid and my sister's 4 kids use theirs daily as well. All hyper kids so its a great way to get them out of the house and burn off some energy. I like to take my 5yo nephew and throw him up into the air just as I'm on the upswing of our jump. He's little so he goes like 5ft above my head. good times

Good exercise for the kids and some adults.

We got ours in 2007 - still going strong --- hood kids were in it this weekend.

We are OT Mid class but got the deluxe model at SAMs - well worth the $500.
