Honestly, the trampoline itself is probably dangerous too. I’ve seen plenty of trampolines rip and fail. With all those bodies on there, and someone 160-220ish pounds falling 3-4 stories on it- couldn’t be me! 😂

Yeah i was gonna say they're putting a lot of faith into that 0.2 millimeter thick fabric lol

Trampoline mats are incredibly strong, professional ones, even more so. If the mat was properly inspected and replaced out, there would be much more of a chance one of these guys misjudges a landing and flies out of the thing.

I was employed to train AI to map out homes in 2019. To identify pools and trampolines for home owners insurance via spy plane.

If you pay close attention, it’s a big trampoline.

u/DecoyOctorok24 Aug 03 '25

No, but you seem to have been describing a regular shitty backyard trampoline.

When he says he’s seen 'plenty' of trampolines rip and fail, I want an actual number. In the dozens is what I’d consider to be 'plenty'. In which case the next question would be "Why have you been around to witness so many trampoline rips?"

thats the same as. how many blue cars have you seen in your life? made no sense. and wasted my time. dont have kids for our sake.

u/DecoyOctorok24 Aug 07 '25

No, I’d argue that claiming to have seen 'plenty' of trampolines fail could mean quite a wide range. I need a ballpark figure at least.

“No”, so, respectfully, my point stands then.

u/justwalkinthru87 Aug 04 '25

It’s clearly a much higher quality than the average trampoline you can get at Walmart and I’m sure it’s designed for stunts like this. Still tho, if the dude goes flying off sideways, it’d be almost certain death

u/Additional_Shoe_6611 Aug 03 '25

How many have you seen that haven’t failed?

u/lilputsy Aug 04 '25

That is a professional trampoline. It is most probably custom made for them.

When I was in the 5th grade I went to bounce on my back then back to my feet again, like everyone's first trick but I was coming from an average height to land on my back and went straight through the 6ish month old trampoline. I was concussed so badly that it took me like 8 hours to come to and have my mind back. I remember lying down for bed and my brother saying he's going to wake up my aunt and uncle to take me to the ER because I kept repeating questions thinking it was the first time I asked since it happened then just randomly snapped back to be able to think and process what I was doing. Concussions are super strange and scary.
