Thanks! I'll be sure to run the air horn on the rig under your bedroom window tomorrow morning when I roll thru town!

Oh yeah -- I'll be on my way to Sonoma Raceway to play with Charley and a couple other buddies.... Remind me again what you'll be doing?

Some homeowners insurances will actually cancel you if you have a trampoline.

My cousin had one as a kid. They are really fun. I know someone who broke a leg on one by getting double bounced. My wifes nephew also lost a tooth on one from some other kids head hitting him in the face.

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.

Whatever you do just make sure and fasten it down GOOD. I mean REAL GOOD! Here is why. We had a local guy that ran a car dealership in the area. He always went home for lunch. One day he didn't return at the normal time. A few hours later someone went to the house to check on him. It was a windy day with gusts off and on. When the person arrived they found the front door open and proceeded in. They found him on the kitchen floor. I will not go into the details however, once everything was investigated they determined the following:
He got out of his vehicle about the same time, a gust of wind lifted the trampoline and the concrete blocks holding it down, over the top of the house. As it came down, one of the concrete blocks fataly hit him in the forehead. He attempted to crawl inside to call for help but never made it. I don't ever want to be one to rain on a post however, just make sure and FASTEN IT DOWN REAL GOOD! I hope your family enjoys the trampoline and please keep it safe.
