[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a pediatric ICU nurse, and we have a trampoline. Are they dangerous? Yes, they can be. I am quite strict about it, and 5 years in we have not had any major injuries. Having a trampoline has been a lifesaver for my son during the 7 to 10 year-old "too much energy" stage. My kids absolutely love it.

I am honestly more concerned about religious use of seat belts in the car, helmets when riding bikes, and swimming proficiency.

Also worth mentioning, many homes where I live have trampolines. I think that varies a lot by vicinity.

I too have a background in pediatric nursing, and we had a tramp when the kids were younger. We did have it enclosed with a net. My kids and some of their friends who used it were trained gymnasts, so they were a little more skilled than the average kid. Still, net, one person at a time, no wetting the tramp with a hose, etc. We taught the kids and their friends to land on their butt. I like your idea of getting your son some "training."[/quote]
