is any one else fed up with the bloody huge trampolines that are now a feature in most gardens involving children?every garden at the back of mine has one and all are placed as far from the parents house as possible so they get peace and we get mayhem.im not a complete child hater (almost!)but it really ruins a nice evening in the garden when on every count of three a bloody head appears over the fence looking in at you.im considering a catapult by my side and inventing a new game sport similar to a duck shoot.

 

What are kids sopose to do, parents get slated for letting kids play on the streets causing mayhem and the kids running riot, then when the kids are playing in the own garden playing and not on the street kicking your windows in with a football or doing something els to your property people still moan. why dont you insted of telling us all on hear go do something about it. Go to your neighbours and ask them to move the trampoline away from your house. And how do you know the trampoline is not placed on that bit of the garden so it safe for the kids to play. People like you realy hack me off leave them alone they have the right to have fun too.

I just spent this afternoon buying and erecting a trampoline for my nephews birthday for when he got home from school and for the happiness and stress relief it shall bring his mother I wouldn't care about any offended neighbours. Trampolines are a better choice then giving a kid a BB gun, football for the street or computer video games. Besides, if your not complaining about your child neighbours having fun on the privacy of their own back garden you would be complaining if they was loitering the streets upto no good.

 

Finally, if the sound/sight of kids having innocent fun really cuts through you that much then maybe you should save years of wait and shack up in a residential home somewhere where you can curse all day long how differant it was in your day to your hearts content.

Now THATS funny:hihi:

 

As to the original point, I wouldnt worry too much if I were you - as soon as one of the little dears come flying off at 30mph and sustains the inevitable injury, then the trampoline will be gotten rid of quicker than you can say "The Simpsons".

 

On a serious note folks, if your planning on some trampoline action this bank holiday weekend, do take care.A recent survey shows that in the US, trampolines are the fourth most common cause of death behind heart disease,cancer and Chuck Norris

I wouldn't worry - bears are famously resilient to trampoline accidents.I once saw a spectacled bear do a triple salco onto an eight foot trampoline at a thirteenth birthday party.He bounced back and landed on his head flat onto the concrete patio - he just got up and started laughing,saying "didn't hurt me one bit"

 

Tough nuts, these bears.....Not like tigers, there just a bunch of p*ssies

I have to say, I'm not a fan of trampolines. The neighbor kitty corner behind us has had one for the past 3-4 years. The lots where we live are pretty big, so they have plenty of room, but they also put the thing as far from THEIR house as they possibly could. Which means it's closer to OUR house, than theirs. Which means that we, and the woman next door, get to listen to all the screaming, yelling, fighting, and general drama that goes along with 5 kids under 12. Yes. They have 5 children, and those children ALL have friends.

 

Last summer, the 8 year old fell off of it and broke his arm. Trampoline was off limits for about 6 weeks. Within days of having his cast removed, I saw him happily bouncing on the thing again. To make matters worse, dad has also installed one of those wooden fort things (also smack dab against and TALLER than the fence) that resembles a fire lookout tower at Yellowstone National Park. They can now see right over the fence into our bathroom windows. I don't care what anyone says, THAT is an invasion of our privacy.

 

I have an 18 year old, and a 13 year old, and I understand that kids are noisy. Boy, do I understand. When my kids were small, no matter how they begged, we wouldn't get them a trampoline because we felt it was dangerous. There is also a tendency for some parents to erect the things in their yard, then not supervise the kids because the parents feel, "well, they're safe, they're playing in their own yard, not running in the street, so now, I can go watch TV in peace, take a bath, or get on the computer". That's when accidents happen.

 

Children certainly have the right to play in their own yards and make a little noise, but some people give little or no thought to their neighbors when they buy these things. And putting it as far as they can from their own house is inconsiderate and just begging for trouble. As I told my neighbor, after I asked him to PLEASE move the lookout tower, and he told me to go pi*s up a rope, "if YOU don't want to put up with the noise and kids peeping in your windows, why do you feel I do?"
