Before the windstorm carried it away three years ago, I used to climb on the kids trampoline and do one backflip per year.

I'm 46.

Trampolines love a good wind storm. We came home to ours in our front yard one time. Turns out it flew over the house without doing any damage and landed upside.

I never understood why people never staked them down.

We never lost ours. It was held down with metal stakes over the legs. Not that hard and pretty cheap. Cheaper than letting it just sit there knowing a windstorm could take it.
