Trampolines
 

Anyone know about trampolines?

My eldest wants one for xmas. What should I be looking for, and how much should I spend?

i know they dont mix with alcohol and adults and have the scars to prove it.How old is your eldest and what kind of space do you have in your garden.My mate bought his kids one and it was around 200 quid a few years ago but was big enough for adults to use (not very well)

Not over 22 stone is he/she? :D

Avoid like the plauge, a Casualty Doctor we know told us about the increase in deaths and injuries since Trampolines became cheap and easily available, a lad I knew from school managed to get himself in Bizarre magazine when he skewered his eye with one of the springs, losing most of the sight in it.

If you do get one, make sure its use is supervised for the kids and banned for drunk adults.

Trying to get one around now will be impossible :)

B&Q are / were your best bet.... £70 at the height of the summer. around £40 when there trying to get rid of in the autumn :D:D

mind you you need another £60 for the enclosure, stops any youngsters from falling out :)

btw thats the 12ft one :)

we have a 12ft one....fine but make sure you have some rules - one kid at a time, etc - sooooo easy for kids to crack heads on it.

Hello

I can recommend these guys: 123 Trampolines UK : Beny V-fit 14ft Trampoline COMBO Package Deal SALE. I bought the 14 foot one a year or so ago and you definitely need the enclosure.

This is what happened after a bit too much excitement though:

Get a round one - nearly impossible to fall off, as it always bounces you back to the middle. We have had a round 14" for 5 years. If you ignore the drunk adults, no-one has fallen off or been injured.

No enclosure on it either BTW
