Back in my day, trampolines didn't come with walls. You just flew off the side, or got your legs jammed between the springs. Bah! Kids today!

    I haven't broken many bones, but every bone I've broken broke during an unplanned trampoline dismount.

    I think this every time I see a trampoline with the walls and stuff.

    Getting double bounced by an older siblings and launched into the stratosphere is truly terrifying.

    Yup, my mom bought one for my brother and I. Just a rectangle with exposed springs. No pads, no walls or nets.

    We never did get hurt, but man, we could do that double-jump timing thing and send each other ridiculously high.
