Trampoline

[JMO 0]

I am with a small ins company but they write for several different large companies. I talked to the lady for a while and even asked if I had one would they just not cover injuries on it, and I was told their was no way to differenciate an injury on the property or one on the trampoline because it was ON the property. (like if someone fell off the trampoline and broke their arm, They broke it on the ground.) yada yada yada blah blah blah... I even asked about wirting a release from and was told if someone was seriously hurt it would cover you(the homeower) but not the ins. company so they would be sued. There is no way around my ins. comapny, we are going to finish this year out and are talking of getting a trampoline for christams for the kids.. And me!!!! I am so jel-eous of you that have them....

I would love to get a trampoline!! Asked hubby about it but he poo-poo'd the idea. My brother got one, I guess I will have to go to his house to use his but then I will have to fight off the 4 kids to get my time in. Another thought, his daughter fell off theirs so he got this kinda netting thing that goes all around it = keeps the kids from falling off it. (I told him it was a kid cage!)

I actually just put one on lay-away at Walmart. I didn't buy it then because they didn't have any in stock. It is a little nerve wrecking because my oldest son is a little wreckless and all I need is for him to bounce my 8 yr old daughter off of it. I keep reminding him that if he doesn't calm down that he will have to get off. He is 14 and thinks he is in control of things, LOL. I got on there yesterday with no kids at home for the first time and it was great. Usually the minute I get on I am joined by all 3 of my kids and I do play with them to an extent, but it is nice to have the whole thing to yourself, hehehe:biggrin1: .

There are terrific new tampoines available here in Australia now - they're about 10ft to 15ft round shape, and come with safety pads, safety nets and a ladder. Some even have a weather cover too.

We are in the process of buying a tramp, for Santa to deliver on Dec 25 (lol!), here's what we found out that you should look for:

• a good quality mat (lasts longer - the best are American made),
  
• as many springs as possible (better bounce),
  
• largest mat as possible (safer, better bounce),
  
• safety nets fitted via a sleeve (not tied on - easily broken),
  
• safety net poles that extend all the way to the ground (for rigidity),
  
• highest weight rating possible (some ar up to 400kg)
  
• as many support legs as possible.
