We had one as a kid - 15 years ago. It didn't have a net around it. It's amazing that nobody was seriously hurt on it. I was pretty agile back then, but I bounced off and landed pretty hard on the ground more times than I can count. I had a buddy knock a tooth out - his own knee hit him in the mouth when he landed. We were all in High School at the time the most of the injuries happened. The bigger the kids, the more adventurous they get and.....
That being said, we have one for our daughters - 4 and 2 years old. It has a safety net and we try to limit it to 1 at a time, but it's tough to monitor it all the time. We've had a few bumped heads, but nothing serious.
