are backyard trampolines safe?

Rick McCharles.

I think NOT.

In evidence I took a bike ride around an upper middle class Canadian neighbourhood and took anonymous photos of home trampolines.

Does this look safe to you?

Manufacturers claim the trampolines are safe when set-up properly and supervised.

Fact is they are rarely set-up properly and even more rarely supervised.

Backyard trampolines should be outlawed.
