Brain child of Atelier Zündel Cristea for a Paris bridge design competition:
… It may result in some broken necks and legs but screw it, that’s the price you pay for having a way to cross the river Seine jumping like Spider-Man. …
It’s made with “inflatable modules, like giant life-preservers, 30 meters in diameter” and filled with “3700 cubic meters of air.” Each of them have a trampoline mesh In the central part of each ring, a trampoline mesh is stretched. Oh, and they got stairs and slides on both sides. …

I foresee a death within 5 minutes of it opening, and the subsequent closing of it 10 minutes later.
when does it open?
It’s just a “concept” proposal.
There’s NO CHANCE that would ever be built.
Trampoline bridge would be way too dangerous especially if it was designed like that!
How about a air mat bridge with safety nets. Not anything that would create a really big bounce. It would be kind of a neat thing to have temporarily during a fair or something. People pass one at a time with ample space between them. Bridge attendant at the ends and along the bridge would help maintain safety. Pay a “toll” to cross. There could be a temporary walking bridge beside it for people who didn’t want to bounce but still want to cross.
