I guess I'm more Redneck than you.

When Pediatricians start recommending against playground and swingset use, let me know.

This. To be more clear:

An updated report by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) cautions against home trampoline use, and provides updated data on the number of and types of injuries caused by trampolines. Since publication of the previous AAP policy statement in 1999 (reaffirmed in 2006), the key recommendation remains consistent against recreational trampoline use, and includes data on injuries unique to trampolines.

Seriously, do not do this. Those things are an accident waiting to happen. Also, whoever said you need to inform your homeowner's insurance company is spot on. A lot of companies exclude coverage for trampoline-related injuries or refuse to insure a property if there's a trampoline on the premises...because they know full well that they WILL be paying out large claims when there's one on a residence.

Ha! Moo bounces? I would not let my child jump on a cow.

Maybe a moo bounce is a moon bounce that's shaped like a cow

Ours is 15' in diameter.

Wow. That's all the things the boys in our neighborhood do on it.

4 boys cage fighting/wrestling. I actually thinks it's way safer than jumping. And the trampoline is softer than the hard wood floors they usually wrestle on.

They also play dodge ball on it. It's at our neighbors and they have a net around it.

Exactly. Two kids in this past year alone have gotten broken arms from the playground at our school. Should we remove it?

For me there's a difference between a broken arm and a broken neck/spinal cord.

If you get one, you need to to alert your home owner's or renter's insurance and there will be a charge. I know they are fun, but also surprisingly dangerous even with a net all around.
