[quote=Anonymous]I've also taken trampoline classes from a professional and I wouldn't feel comfortable with my kid doing flips like this on a regular backyard trampoline unsupervised. Maybe a little safer if the trampoline has one of those guards around it so it's harder for him to fall off or get caught in the springs, but I'd still worry about him landing awkwardly on the trampoline. I'd sign him up for a weekly trampoline class (you can take them at gymnastics places) with a real instructor on a pro trampoline (they are very different than the recreational ones people buy) but say no flips on the trampoline outside of class -- just jumping. I'd also explain to him what the danger of a fall or a bad landing could be. [/quote]
