[quote=Anonymous]We recently accepted a 14-foot trampoline from friends of ours whose kids have outgrown it.  We were excited about this hand-me-down as it seemed like a fun way for my kids to burn off energy, but now that I've done quite a bit of reading about the risks, I'm having second thoughts.  I'm hoping to hear the experiences of folks who have a trampoline or have had one in the past, especially with young kids (my youngest is 6).

The trampoline is in good shape and has padding but no net.  So at a minimum I'm looking to get a safety net.  I will also supervise them while jumping.  I've read quite a bit about the risks and injuries associated with use so I'm not really looking for folks to educate me on that.  I'm more interested in real life experiences with this type of equipment.  If you have had in the past or currently have a backyard trampoline, have you been happy with it?  Are you stressed out when your kids use it?  Do you only allow one child on at a time as it recommended?  Would you buy it again?[/quote]
