Many kids have enjoyed this toy while the parents were outside hosting a neighborhood barbeque. Unfortunately, traditional trampolines have been the cause of many injuries. Emergency rooms regularly see kids with broken wrists from flying off of the side of a trampoline. Kids will commonly get toes and fingers pinched in the springs under the frame.…
