The APA strongly discourages trampoline use for kids. Here a couple statements from the APA website: http://pediatrics.aappublications.or...103/5/e57.full

"Trampolines are a high-risk activity with the potential for significant orthopaedic injury"

"We reiterate the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement advises that trampolines be used only in supervised training programs--never at home, in outdoor playgrounds, or in schools. The public should be made aware of the potential dangers of trampolines through public health campaigns, radio, and television."


Here is a great info page about trampolines and kids from the Consumer Products Safety Commission http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PUBS/085.pdf

Oh, can you tell......I am anti-trampoline (big or small ones)......YES they ARE super fun but so are a ton of other dangerous things...
