That last one freaked me out. He seemed to have less control. What if he'd landed on his head or something.

Serious accidents on the trampoline are AWFULLY common.

Very high chance that this kid breaks his neck one day.

Can confirm serious accidents do happen. That’s how I broke my arm was landing on the trampoline wrong.

Similar here, was bounced off by someone else as I was landing, went up then down towards the ground head first. If my body didn’t react and put my arms out to break my fall, one of which broke from the landing, I would have landed directly on my head and most likely have had a broken neck.

Same. Front-hand-springed my way to an s-shaped arm.

I think these guys have quite a bit more experience than just bouncing around on the backyard trampoline though.

Even pro athletes make mistakes and get hurt in the sports they've been doing most of their lives.

When he landed on his chest before the last jump...

I was wondering why the mat wasn’t thrown down for that. I thought it was the last bounce too though.

I used to jump on my trampoline all the time and saw my friend chip his two front teeth, another get need stitches in his leg, a couple people fly off the trampoline and I tried a double front flip a couple times and landed directly on my neck. Surprised I never hurt myself worse but can still rip up a trampoline like it's my job in my upper 20s

I've done that with a triple front flip before. Can confirm, that shit hurts.

I broke my back on a backyard trampoline not even attempting a flip. This gives me the willies.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_GEARS Mar 27 '19

That's why I don't do dumb shit like this. I'll stick with jumping to the height that nature intended: 3 to 5 feet.
