1. Oh man....
That's really nasty. Something similar to that happened to a firend of mine on a trampoline. He tried to do a flip, then his glasses fell (dumbass kept em on). He screwed up his rotation trying to catch them fell with all his weight on his hand. He had a double fracture of the wrist.

2. I've had several unfortunate incidents on trampolines.
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 11:29 AM by Shell Beau
I used to have one as a kid and I fell off, through the springs, landed on all the wrong body parts so many times that I can't believe I don't have brain damage. Needless to say, my kid's won't have one!! :shrug:

7. My buddy bought one for his girlfriends kids....

But he also got them lessons, so they're pretty good at it and they know what they're doing. It's fun to see the little ones doing all sorts of stunts.

9. Now they have that thing that goes all the way around
it so you can't fall off or through the springs! But it doesn't prevent what happened to that guy in the video! :o As long as kids are supervised and know what not to do! :)

10. Yeah, well the golden rule of not doing stunts when someone
else is there is one that should be seriously enforced. Unless they're praticing a choreography or something, but that's pretty advanced stuff.

11. I can say that is most of the reasons why I got hurt.

Doing flips with other people jumping and if you catch their bounce (or as we called a double bounce) there is no telling where you are going!! :o

12. Yeah it's like gravity's terrible vengence for defying her laws
Or something. I fell a few times myself but never broke anything.

19. Poor bear :(
I feel more sorry for the bear than I do the kid in the OP. The kid did it through his own stupidity. The bear did nothing more than be a bear. Poor little fella.

20. But trust me - the bear probably didn't even bruise
Bears can take a lot of abuse...think about how your dog can walk barefoot on ice, and multiply that times 10.

21. I just keep picturing the Simpsons . .
Book him Lou, one count of being a bear.

And book HIM on one count of accessory to being a bear.
