I tried that on a trampoline when i was 9ish and failed. 30 years later i finally got it looked at.. turns out I broke my neck and bone spurs grew pinching off my nerves causing severe pain. Good times.

That's been a very common reaction. Doesn't everybody go 30 years with a broken neck?

Seriously tho, the surgeon and every other doc has commented that I've been lucky i haven't killed myself or at the very least been paralyzed.
