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.

That's the key. Clearly establishing jumping rules to regulate behavior will be critical. Fundamental tramp jumps only, no somersaults, one jumper at a time, etc. Easier said than done.......but it can be disassembled quickly if she doesn't want to play by the rules.
Hopefully it turns out to be a good piece of exercise equipment.
Funny, my daughter asked if she could get one last week......and I cant say no to my little princess so we picked up a 14' ter. I'd dont think she's missed a day on it since.

Good for you! I haven't researched data yet but my guess is they are calorie burning machines.
