I hope it is big enough for us lanky buggers like Stace and me to go on as well.  I've never been on a tramopline, so it would be great to try it out.

[nikki]

yeah i think its one of the big ones.
Havnt collected it yet though. Stace is out collecting a slide for Larrissa our eldest lol.
You'll have to come round ours sometime when we've got the place sorted. If you good at painting, hanging wallpaper, tiling, fitting kitchens, plumbing or any of the above leave now!!! jk ;P
Busy times here. but yeah you'll have to come at some point and terrorize our kids lol then we could go for a bounce/gym session.

Round ones.... for sure keep it to one person at a time. The geometry of round tramps PING PONGS the bouncer from landing spot toward middle then off in the same direction to the other side before trying to send you back in opposit direction (hence the ping pong effect)  It's that middle spot where people collide, land on other peoples limbs, backs etc. when the fall ..... I think you see the picture.

rectangular tramp geometry  sends the bouncer to the middle and the forces try to keep them there.

Its half the fun having more people on it

[Sprog]

I agree with Athoul there, especially if more than 1 person is doing flips and stuff

[Kiola]

dangerous though

Yep its a blast (and dumb) just like:

. jumping off the roof into blanket held up by midgets
. *Using a truck and a rope to spin people sitting on a playground merry go round.


*dont let this one spark any crazy ideas. This one killed a person

Coachgeo, no offence but your really negative.

I've been on a trampoline loads with about 2 or 3 of my mates and none of us have ever got hurt as a result.

...I've been on a trampoline loads with about 2 or 3 of my mates and none of us have ever got hurt as a result.

That is what makes it so dangerous. The little insidents that happen bopping around are not ones large enough to warn you of potential danger.  Then when it does sneak up on you... its a biggie that includes a hospital trip. 

Course us tramp coaches here about ALL the local hospital trips from tramp injuires where the average bloke might only hear about the one in their school last year kinda thing. 

Hmmm. guess I shouldnt complain LOL.  Injuries on home tramps occasionaly brings me one or two new students who were the injured kid's neighbors.  These mom's decided no backyard tramp bouncing at neighbors house anymore so they sign them up here for classes instead
