Jesus Christ can I not just say I've had a nice day with my kid and get a pat on the head? Joyless bastards.

I'll have you know we've been about 5 times now and the closest anyone has come to an accident was when I jumped too high and discovered my pelvic floor muscles really aren't all that anymore.

A friend of my parents' was paralyzed on a trampoline, she was a professional trampolinist. So I wasn't allowed on them for the longest time. The first time I went on one I broke my index finger. Then the next time I drove my teeth through my bottom lip into my knee. Knee needed stitches.

Worth it, it was pretty fun.

We've taken ours as well Mez and they made it out alive. And they enjoyed the hell out of it.

Is it true that if your home and/or health insurance providers catch wind that you have a trampoline in your back yard you'll pay beaucoup dollars out the ass in insurance premiums?

When I was a kid, me and my brother used to ride our bikes to a friend's house that had a jenky AF above ground trampoline, one of those with no mesh fencing around it that would prevent you from being thrown off. On top of that, it had exposed springs (rusty) that would pinch you if you just so happened to have exposed skin that was touching the springs as it reset the potential energy for the next bounce. And to add insult to injury, it was in an open dirt field with a shit ton of chewed on dog bones laying around it - their dogs used the trampoline as shade in the summer and would chew on bones underneath the trampoline out of the oppressive summer heat and leave them laying there when done chewing on them. I can't tell you how many times we were pinched by those springs and thrown off that trampoline when when one of those perfectly timed 'super bounces' were initiated to toss us haphazardly onto that craggy bone ground. We would keep going until our friend's mother would call us in for lunch. A few dabs with a cotton ball of rubbing alcohol and a couple of band-aids later and we were ready for more after lunch.

In the US, yeah, you'll pay extra for a trampoline in most states (50-100) and if there is a bad accident and the company didn't know about one, it can trigger cancellation or non coverage in some situations.

I was not kidding about my partner losing teeth. She brings it up fairly often because the fake teeth thing occasionally bugs her in day to day life.

Ahhh ... memories.

Oh, fuck me. In a "gawd this is funny in a fucked up sort of way".

I chose the handle Gnaw because 1) I like any dog more than most humans and 2) Bent was already taken.

3 years ago I decided maybe a trip to rehab was in order. My 28 day program lasted 162 days, so they agreed that I had a problem. A couple of months after that, my counselor said, "Mark, we need to talk about your eating. Or, rather, your lack thereof." Turns out under all the drug and alcohol abuse was this little Anorexia issue. First they had to convince me that males could get eating disorders then had to convince me of several other behaviors that proved their point. That took several more months.

Anyways, 22 months later, it just occurred to me the irony of calling myself "Gnaw".

I'm really happy that you're facing your problems and slowly winning those battles. Congrats and I know what kind of work you're putting in to get better. Thank you for sharing.

my aunt works in Xray in ER, will not let any of her grandchildren near a trampoline because of all the broken bones she sees coming in in because of them.
Her son is the cousin who is now in a wheelchair from a trampoline accident, so I'll side on the trampolines are dangerous as hell side of the argument.

Sure let kids have fun, just be careful please

It's awesome that you're facing this head on - can only echo Amph, thank you for sharing.

My brother's friend's child was on a trampoline. She stumbled and murdered three people with an axe. That's why I'm only ever allowed on a trampoline with other lawyers.

Time to pick up bodybuilding and funnel all that dismorphia into training and eating like an autistic person.
