Speaker 1 (00:00):
Trampolines are more popular than they've ever been far and away, right,
And that's not that includes trampoline parks, that includes at
home trampolines.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
At home backyard trampoline. Is that coming off of COVID
people got them?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I mean I would, I would assume so that that
was that was definitely. I think you saw purchases of
of at home trampolines go up, and it probably never
died off. But trampoline parks has more popular than they've
ever been, right, it is a haven of birthday parties.
Above ground trampolines more popular than they've ever been. When
(00:37):
I was a kid, if anybody in the neighborhood had
a trampoline Rich Rockefellers exactly.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Exactly a trampoline these days, that's a great question.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I think also is probably like a few hundred dollars maybe.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I think it depends on what you get. Yeah, like
if you can't have the which they say is such
bull crap.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I don't even know why why did they even put
theirs nest up there?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Because it gives you the illusion of some sort of safety.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right, But you know what else it gives you a
goal to bust through it. No, to jump higher than it.
What Oh but it goes all the way up though
to the clouds.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, no, no, But I'm saying like I would imagine
those those nets to me are at least like six
feet high.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You don't think on a trampoline. We're jumping higher.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Than I mean, if you get it into it, the well,
not only are you getting into it, but I'm going
to double bounce you and get you way up there.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Right over the top.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Six feet is nothing people.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I would bet, like, I don't know anybody personally, but
I would bet kids like they get they get a jumpin'.
I bet people fly over the top of those bird
cage nets all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And people like to like gift those two neighbors like
once their kids sort of age out of them, you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Don't even have to gift it. All you got to
do is just come on over.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
One of our neighbors tried to give us when I
was like, map, we're good. The wait, so were you
anti tramplers? It goes back away, So I was like,
I don't want that my yard.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No, no, no, I understand you may not want it
in your yard, but were you anti like did you
have strict rules about Marley on a trampoline? No?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I mean she definitely went to like birthday parties. Oh
the how about the Mollnar kids.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know that I personally this is not the family stands,
but personally I am anti trampoline mom. Yeah. I've told
you the story many times that I got injured on
a trampoline and my braces ripped my khaki pants. So
I don't like them. But when the kids go off
(02:42):
to houses that have them or the parties, I hold
my breath the entire time.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Do you tell your kids they can't do flips?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They know I don't want them doing flips off of
like diving boards, right, So I'd like to think that
that's sort of transferred over to.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Not on the diving board. I'm on a trampoline. Are
you a stickler for one one bouncer at a time?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Listen. I don't want them on at all, so I
have to just be there, stay in the house and
not see what's going on outside. When they were really young,
I would let them in by themselves and then if
somebody like an older kid came.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Over, get out, Come on, get out.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Gettuns over go those, but those older kids will bounce
them up good.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
My kids are not thirteen and ten, so when they
were younger, I definitely one at a time. Even some
of their their own friends. They're just a little too rambunctious.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Right, A lot of collisions. That's where the internal injuries
come from. The also, like when they were young, Like
I remember my kids being like three, four and five.
They would be in there and you get like the
thirteen fourteen year old kids. Man, their little bodies would
just be bouncing all over the place.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh clocked heads. Who saw that coven?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So anyway, I was reading there's a doctor by the
name of doctor Leanna when she is at George Washington University.
I guess she also used to be the Baltimore Health Commissioner. Anyway,
she was talking about trampolines. The last ten years have
been record years.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Four juries.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, yeah, through the roof, through the roof on average
on average.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And this is just at hospitals.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
This doesn't include urgent care, This doesn't include just put
some ice on it. Like, this is literally going to
the hospital one hundred thousand a year, one hundred thousand
a year, I believe it the yeah, and I can't
tell if that's high or low. But again that doesn't count.
An urgent care that also doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Count, probably very much under reported.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It also doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Two other things like at those trampoline parks, on site
medic which I don't really know that their medics as
much as they are kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Like somebody with an ice pack.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well no, because he was just refereeing the trampoline dodgeball
and then came over when the crying started. And and
nine one one like emergency visits to houses where they
just kind of get them taken care of, and then
we don't go.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Number one most common injury hitting your hands, The no,
not pants. Come on? What's number one?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I did sort of I sort of hurt my
knee a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The no, little knee injury is not number one arm
the could you be a little more specific broken bone.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Bone fractures, Yeah, buddy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Number two concussion, head and neck, head and neck absolutely,
and that good answer, the no, no, no, And head
and neck comes in two forms, well, yes, head and
neck two forms either well, collide.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Or I tried to flip. I didn't get all the
way over.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
God, I landed on my neck.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
My neck, my head, Yeah, all of that. Number three.
Number three, show me internal organ bleeding, Oh, internal bleeding
or like you know what.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You get a lot of Oh what did we just
talk about, like a bruise, kidney or something, spleet?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
No collapse long collapse long and that again, how do
we get those two reasons? Number one, I went down
and somebody landed on top of me, either a foot
straight to the lung because I'm still hopping, or we
hit in the air. I fell, he fell on top
of me. That's number one. And also what also commonly
(06:54):
leads to collapse lung?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't know. Show me broken red God, that goes
back to broken bone. Man, I'm gonna have to be
a little more proactive about the kids getting on these trampolines.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
The yeah, and they're like if there's if there's more,
if there's more than you get out the uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They were like, head in the sand may not be
the best and for homes then.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh, no, head in the sand is if you jump
over the birdcae genetics.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Somebody said those should be nine feet tall.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Wait, is that regulation, so to speak?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Regulation for what authorities?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Hold on the National Trampoline Association.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Nine feet.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's what I need to do. I need to go
out and measure.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The trampoline monitors.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Here, oh, here comes the tramp Nazi.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
The wait, there's supposed to be nine feet tall, which,
by the way, you're still jumping more than nine feet
in the air. Elliott, nine feet, Yes, you get it.
You get a ten or eleven year old with two
friends in there that are bouncing you up.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Nine feet is nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I guess. I never went on another one since my injury.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
The you can get you can get some air again.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I wasn't injured. I just ripped my pants. Mom was
so angry because she was worried that I screwed up
my orthodonys.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh, certainly the and but also what's the other So, yes,
you're double jumping each other or some And they said,
and this isn't doctor Leanna when this is my interpretation
of it. If you're in there and let's say, uh oh,
kid gets in there, maybe maybe a kid that's flirting
with diabetes, get out, because that kid is gonna bounce
(08:49):
you like he's bouncing titties. He is gonna send you
a flying And then they said you're better off the
and she was like, listen, they're so popular. Everybody's friend
has one. Somebody in the neighborhood has one. There's parties,
and you don't want to tell them they can't go
to parties. The closer to the ground, the better for
(09:10):
the trampolines. And they said that's why in some cases
trampoline parks are better because they are ground level.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
In a lot of cases they are ground level. Someone
in our neighborhood you could also put You could also
put fifteen twenty kids at a time on there.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Who has an in ground trampoline?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Are you serious? Do they win the lottery? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Those have to be super expensive.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
They are they are.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But is there a safety positive there?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, that if you if you if you fall, you're
not falling four feet onto the hard ground, so they
don't just do it. You Also, because there's no fear
of falling off the trampoline, you're much riskier.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But it's not because trampolines are an iceore. What do
you mean I mean that's why Diane didn't want the
one that was offered. Yeah, I thought the yard esthetics also,
Oh yeah, I'm sure, but they do say that it
gives you that one on one side, they are safer.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
On the other side, it gives you a false sense
of security. Well, I can't miss and fall off the side,
but they do have that hard like the hard thing
are on the outside.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That's where you see a lot of.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Ankles go is where you get to that hard crust
and the trampoline and that foot hits just wrong and
that's where your foot will hit. Diane, it does this
and when that happens, Now you want me to can
I show you where the ankle goes right up through here?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
From Teresa on Facebook. My son didn't even fall off,
but while jumping with nephews, hit it at the exact
moment where it was like jumping on concrete at full force.
Because of the unfortunate timing, broke his ankle and growth
played in his shim that death surgery and now he's
(10:56):
got a screw in his leg.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
By the way, And I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm glad that she mentioned that because doctor Leanna Winn
points it out.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Growth plates.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, those uh, those those have seen quite a bit
of damage over the last ten years. Silly gps, Hi
Elliott the Morning not girl parts. Hi, Hi, who's this him, Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yes, Elizabeth, are you how how old are you? I'm fourteen?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh yeah, oh so you go to trampoline parties all
the time.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, so I was a sorry about like a trampoline.
So when I was in New York with my brother
and my friends.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
We associated trampoline with no net and we were just
bouncing and you know, you know the game Popcorn.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, sure, So we were doing that with.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
My brother and he does want flying off, like he
literally just like re bounced him, and he does want
flying out without the net.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Hey, did he get hurt?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
So's ankle kind of but like you didn't really do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
He just kind of like start complaining about it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But he's fine, right, you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Tell him, Hey, buckle up, Buttercup, you're going playing. Hey listen,
I don't know if you care to. You want to
say butthole on the radio, you can kind of yeah, yeah,
go ahead, It's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
No, it's like I've heard of it. But yeah, no,
well you have one. Well I don't know how you
were born.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
And Tyler's clapping for you in case you can't hear it.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, hold on for your ribbon, hold on one.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Second, love it and that's the thing with nets too. Remember,
like when I.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
All sense the security, I could shove you right through
it and I was jumping.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Those nets did not get into stores or come with
trampolines until the Lake the late nineties.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, no, they were never a part of it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And listen, if your kids were like my kids and
they grew up playing hockey, all that means is watch
me check you into the net, Like that's all that
that represents. I'm going to shove you into it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But the structural integrity of the net from years of
use could be compromised as well.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
The net doesn't hold anything in.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I'm already checking all the springs the uh remember
when they remember the exposed springing?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Check everybody off?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There was the trampoline monitor, how many like when I
don't know what trampolines are like now, But do they
not have exposed springs? Well they do, they don't, but
I've ripped up all the batting. But the But remember
when you could.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
See all of the springs and they would tell you
the rectangular ones that we used to have for our
pe units. Oh, I went right through the corner.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh did you realize?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, remember there was always kids that would hit it
and then they would get their skin pinched in there
you were. That was the one thing that I was
always afraid of is that you would miss it. You'd
go down and you'd pinch a ball skin in the spring.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Wait a minute. You had a trampoline at school.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
For they they did that. That was like one of
the you know you did like archery and ping pong
and stuff. That was like one of the middle school.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Pure middle had.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
We had a big, big old rectangular trampoline four feet
off the ground. Yeah really, and it was the big,
gigantic rectangular ones.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And it had how many kids at a time.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Only one at a time, and you had you had
the it was it was sort of supervised and you
had like the big springs and then there was that
big gap in the corners and somebody put the push
the mat to the side that was supposed to be
covering the springs, and I wasn't paying attention. I went
right and I was hanging there. Wait, so they would
I had like a dent in my leg for years.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Right, almost like almost like a wound if you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Bye behind.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Wait a minute, So your school, Lake Braddis had a
trampoline but only one at a time.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You only one person on there at a time, I believe.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, so everybody got one jump and they had to
get off.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You've jumped a little bit, like let's do a pike
or whatever you were doing. Wow, it seems kind of
like a stupid unit in pe now in retrospect, but.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Are there any schools that have a trampoline now? Like
you can't even have a slide because somebody will burn
their little precious legs. Now, there's no way schools have
tramp maybe a private school.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
There's no public school that has a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Highly doubt it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The you know what, that's my push, when's the next
Arlington school board meeting?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Gotta have trampoline.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Let's stop with this horseback riding this, bring trampolines and
so we know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'd bring that sign Bye bye hymen.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Do you think though, because you bring up schools and
it's just being such a liability When there is an injury,
whether it be a broken bone, a head and neck injury,
or a collapsed lung internal injury, is that is that
the last day that trampolinees in that person's backyard.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No, you don't just get rid of it after an incident.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You have two kids, if one of them, if one
of them broke their ankle, you're gonna tell the other
one they can't use it anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, first i'd get rid of that friend. But yeah,
I don't want the bottom as is. No, I understand
an actual piece of evidence I can point to as
to why. Look, I say it for sunscreen all the time.
Do you want sun damage like I have under my eye? No,
I put sunscreen on. I'll help you. I know you're
(16:25):
in eighth grade, but I'll put it on for you.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
The no.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I love real world examples. I don't want a child
to get injured.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right, Hey, your older brother just had a collapse lung.
We got to get rid of it. Now, the uh no,
I don't think that's reason to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But then you like had the it had the accident.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Right, Well, I hope you also had bad homeowner's insurance
because you know you're getting sued.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
The uh no.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But like, for example, the the your kids have gone
to trampoline parties.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You're talking about where it's like an actual venue. Yeah, yeah,
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Right, But if if if let's say, let's say your
daughter jammed up her ankle. The next week, when your
son's friend is having a birthday party, there, you're gonna
tell me he can't go because of the ankle to
your daughter.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Absolutely, ever, my kids are like me, and I'm fine
with that. Keep it. I'm safe.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I'm the protector. Like, I'm sorry, you can't go, but
your brother's going. Yeah, he's set.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That happened when my son almost drown We then cut
off all pool parties for like two years.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh, come on, he almost died the okay, but that's
how we learn.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It'll probably only happened once.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Hi, Elliott the morning, Me, Yeah, Hi, who's this? This
is Emily from Richmond. What'd you do?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Some friends of ours bought a house and it had
an in ground trampoline, which.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Is not as fancy as it sounds.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's literally just like a hole with.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
The trampoline slush with the ground right, and my husband
double bounced me and I snapped my ankle.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
In two and we did doin it for everybody they got.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
They got rid of the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
By the way, Am I wrong in thinking that?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Because listen, Jackie and I well Jackie, not as much
as me, but I would do it. Like if if
if I were picking up the boys from a trampoline park,
I get right in there.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, hey, we still got time for dodgeball, right.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Adult adult injury at a trampoline park a thousand times
worse than kid injury at a trampoline park. So so
like even if even if you're a family, thank you, ma'am.
Like we have neighbors kind of across the street diagonally,
like Cattie Wampus from us, and they have a trampoline
in their backyard. If I got injured on that, I
(18:56):
would just have to tell somebody I got hit by
a car, Like I don't want to tell anybody that
I would got injured on a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Also, I'm reading here that kids under six should not
even step foot on a trampoline.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, that gets into three things.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Number one, the head, the skull isn't strong enough. Number two,
neither were the neck muscles. Number three, let's go back
to GP baby growth plates.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah no, they're.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Saying, if you're by the way, my kids were definitely
under the age of six on trampolines. But yeah, no,
they do say under the age of six. You got
to treat it like poison.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Can you not book a birthday party at a trampoline park?
You're a child who's yes, iver younger? Yes, I don't.
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
What's the big one over off Telegraph Road? Sky Zone?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
That sounds right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Is it sky Zone over off Telegraph Road?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I have no idea. There's a ton Zava Zone.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I mean there's was awesome. Isn't z over by the
Montgomery skating Rink?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's see sky Zone all ages welcome.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But Zaba is also like a Ninja warrior course and
everything as well a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I only liked when we went to birthday parties there
first thing or a last thing, because it wasn't as crowded.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
The oh but thank you Leanna when she would like
you to go during off time so you don't have
to worry about the uh that group of kids flirting
with diabetes coming over and bouncing your kid all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Wait, so sky Zone doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Sky Zone says no age on it, although they said
they do have like rules about like ages on certain jumps.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Oh wait, so don't they have doesn't sky Zone have,
like the platform you can jump off of down onto
the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I think so yeah, it's like I want to say,
it's like eight feet.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Maybe it's not that high, maybe it's six feet where
it's like a diving board essentially when you jumped down.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Certain attractions separated by age and size.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
By the way, you know what, you know what? I
am jones it for right now?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A trampoline, pizza in kool aid, Like, that's all that
I want right now.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm sorry, where are my gun? Line? Seven?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yes, ma'am, Hey, yes, Hi? Who is this h It's Kristin, Yes, Kristin.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Well, when I was seven, I was jumping on a
trampoline at my babysitter's house and I bit my tongue
off and it was like hanging on yes, yeah, yeah,
I had to get like ten stitches.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Dude, dude, you bit your tongue off? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh and it was hanging What does that even feel
like in your mouth?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
I had I was seven.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I can barely remember it. I remember like rinsing my
mouth out with water and the Babiesit a is like
freaking out. Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The uh now, but that but the tongue heels. The
tongue heels very quickly. So I mean, while it sounds bad,
it's not as bad as the growing cases that doctor
Leanna Wen talks about, where she talks about the the
injuries have increased, as well as the irreversible injuries permanent
neurological damage from injuries to the head and neck.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, very good, but again, you can't stop it
from happening.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
From sewn, I have two boys who would play on
the neighbor's trampoline. One broke his foot, the other is collarbone.
We then tried at trampoline park. We were there for
five minutes and left at the broken elbow. That was
the end of trampolines for us.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh come on, So what does she do about parties?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Now? Tell her kids they can't go.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I've done that for other activities. You can say no
to your children. You don't have to be their best friend.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, I know, but everybody's going. Everybody's having fun.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Now I'm not familiar with this trampoline bowling. Oh yeah,
what's that? So sp says, we would all line up
and the person would run, bounce off the trampoline and
try to knock over as many people as possible. Yes,
girl in my neighborhood went running toes hit the springs,
pinky toe gone. It was brutal.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh my god, line wait, hold on life Britain.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
He's safe in assuming that my kids are not allowed
on those giant air bounce mats at Pumpkin Passes.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The big pillows.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Those are fune No, and it's they also have one
at the splash park. We don't go on that either,
because then that adds the element of water.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Oh where was the one?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I can't remember where it was, but we used to
take the boys out to one, and they had one
of those big big pads. Yeah, and I remember the boys.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
They were big thing.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Maybe that was where we went, but there were My
boys were on at once, and I remembered the younger one.
He had to be three or something at the time.
He got knocked over that a kid jump and landed
sneaker ahead.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Sneaker ahead.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
We stick to posing behind cutouts for photos. Awesome, your chick.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Can I be the big corn?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
And do we have a sugar free sider?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Ellie in the morning. Hey, this is Chris. Hey Chris,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So I have two great stories.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I'll go in numerical order for the list that you had,
which number one was broken bones. Yes, so we were
all jumping on the trampoline. One kid had the not
great decision to go underneath the trampoline, lay on his
back and push the trampoline up with his leg as
other kids were jumping. Boom, two broken legs right away.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Well, that's just dump sun.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So it's still a trampoline injury, but a little bit different.
You know, you're UNDERT versus so there's your height difference.
I guess you want to be lower to the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Ground, so that doesn't happen. We'll take that. What's number two?
So number two is the head injury. Two brothers jumping
up and down. As one jumps up, the other goes down.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Boom breaks both of his two front teeth off in
the head of his other brother, Blood everywhere on the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Use a T shirt, wipe it up. We're still jumping.
We are still going. That's excellent, Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
There's a lot of people that say you're wrong. When
there is an incident that trampoline gets trashed.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
This is from Heidi Sun got a trampoline for Christmas.
Very first time he jumped on it, he tore his
acl He had three surgeries. Bye bye trampoline.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Oh my god. Oh come on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And this is also from Facebook. Lived in Korea in
the South Korea in the nineties and their versions of
nets were chain link fences that smart.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Bye bye hymen.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
So in addition to exposed springs, you had what sounds
like a steel cage match.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well not only that, but don't you remember when you
were a kid, anytime you would climb over the chain
link fence, there's always the.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Points on the top of it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, I mean I saw them, but yeah, I know
you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Do you know how many times in shorts you'd kick
a ball over the fence and you'd have to go
climb that and you would think, I'm rushing and if
my sneaker slips, I am tearing balls as.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Soon as I go over this line. Six. Hi Ellie
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Elliot, good morning, how are you sure?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Hey, I'm doing great? What can I do for you?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
So, I live in Pasadena, and my neighbors had a trampoline.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
He had two girls.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
One was a little bigger, one was a little smaller,
and you hear the sound of the kids jumping, and
you know.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You look out, Elliott. They were sawing.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
The littler one got launched by the big one right
over the net with shag into my backyard.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Boom snap.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
The neighbors come over, knocking about door frantically.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Hey, can we go in your backyard?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
My daughter flew in there.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
She was.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
My wife and my kids saw it. A couple of
weeks later we get built.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
They suit us for her broken bone and cast because
she broke it in our yard.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Oh my god, By the way, that would have started
World War three. There is no way that I would
have dealt with that. But that that I mean, that's
your homeowner's insurance. Yes, Tyler, Oh, here comes another example
of Oh wait, did you find somebody who found sugar
free sider?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
No, this is a story about a vet, a veteran
right Our nephew was in the military. Leg was blown
up by an ied. It did finally heal when he
came back stateside. He injured the other leg at a
trampoline Park and had to have it amputated. Oh my god,
(28:05):
so the i E.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
D the mangled one? Is I E D the missing one? Sir,
Thank you for your service. Oh no, no, no, no
zava zone.
Trampolines are more popular than they've ever been far and away, right,
And that's not that includes trampoline parks, that includes at
home trampolines.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
At home backyard trampoline. Is that coming off of COVID
people got them?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I mean I would, I would assume so that that
was that was definitely. I think you saw purchases of
of at home trampolines go up, and it probably never
died off. But trampoline parks has more popular than they've
ever been, right, it is a haven of birthday parties.
Above ground trampolines more popular than they've ever been. When
(00:37):
I was a kid, if anybody in the neighborhood had
a trampoline Rich Rockefellers exactly.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Exactly a trampoline these days, that's a great question.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I think also is probably like a few hundred dollars maybe.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I think it depends on what you get. Yeah, like
if you can't have the which they say is such
bull crap.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I don't even know why why did they even put
theirs nest up there?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Because it gives you the illusion of some sort of safety.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right, But you know what else it gives you a
goal to bust through it. No, to jump higher than it.
What Oh but it goes all the way up though
to the clouds.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, no, no, But I'm saying like I would imagine
those those nets to me are at least like six
feet high.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You don't think on a trampoline. We're jumping higher.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Than I mean, if you get it into it, the well,
not only are you getting into it, but I'm going
to double bounce you and get you way up there.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Right over the top.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Six feet is nothing people.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I would bet, like, I don't know anybody personally, but
I would bet kids like they get they get a jumpin'.
I bet people fly over the top of those bird
cage nets all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And people like to like gift those two neighbors like
once their kids sort of age out of them, you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Don't even have to gift it. All you got to
do is just come on over.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
One of our neighbors tried to give us when I
was like, map, we're good. The wait, so were you
anti tramplers? It goes back away, So I was like,
I don't want that my yard.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No, no, no, I understand you may not want it
in your yard, but were you anti like did you
have strict rules about Marley on a trampoline? No?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I mean she definitely went to like birthday parties. Oh
the how about the Mollnar kids.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know that I personally this is not the family stands,
but personally I am anti trampoline mom. Yeah. I've told
you the story many times that I got injured on
a trampoline and my braces ripped my khaki pants. So
I don't like them. But when the kids go off
(02:42):
to houses that have them or the parties, I hold
my breath the entire time.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Do you tell your kids they can't do flips?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They know I don't want them doing flips off of
like diving boards, right, So I'd like to think that
that's sort of transferred over to.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Not on the diving board. I'm on a trampoline. Are
you a stickler for one one bouncer at a time?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Listen. I don't want them on at all, so I
have to just be there, stay in the house and
not see what's going on outside. When they were really young,
I would let them in by themselves and then if
somebody like an older kid came.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Over, get out, Come on, get out.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Gettuns over go those, but those older kids will bounce
them up good.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
My kids are not thirteen and ten, so when they
were younger, I definitely one at a time. Even some
of their their own friends. They're just a little too rambunctious.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Right, A lot of collisions. That's where the internal injuries
come from. The also, like when they were young, Like
I remember my kids being like three, four and five.
They would be in there and you get like the
thirteen fourteen year old kids. Man, their little bodies would
just be bouncing all over the place.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh clocked heads. Who saw that coven?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So anyway, I was reading there's a doctor by the
name of doctor Leanna when she is at George Washington University.
I guess she also used to be the Baltimore Health Commissioner. Anyway,
she was talking about trampolines. The last ten years have
been record years.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Four juries.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, yeah, through the roof, through the roof on average
on average.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And this is just at hospitals.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
This doesn't include urgent care, This doesn't include just put
some ice on it. Like, this is literally going to
the hospital one hundred thousand a year, one hundred thousand
a year, I believe it the yeah, and I can't
tell if that's high or low. But again that doesn't count.
An urgent care that also doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Count, probably very much under reported.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It also doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Two other things like at those trampoline parks, on site
medic which I don't really know that their medics as
much as they are kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Like somebody with an ice pack.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well no, because he was just refereeing the trampoline dodgeball
and then came over when the crying started. And and
nine one one like emergency visits to houses where they
just kind of get them taken care of, and then
we don't go.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Number one most common injury hitting your hands, The no,
not pants. Come on? What's number one?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I did sort of I sort of hurt my
knee a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The no, little knee injury is not number one arm
the could you be a little more specific broken bone.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Bone fractures, Yeah, buddy.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Number two concussion, head and neck, head and neck absolutely,
and that good answer, the no, no, no, And head
and neck comes in two forms, well, yes, head and
neck two forms either well, collide.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Or I tried to flip. I didn't get all the
way over.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
God, I landed on my neck.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
My neck, my head, Yeah, all of that. Number three.
Number three, show me internal organ bleeding, Oh, internal bleeding
or like you know what.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You get a lot of Oh what did we just
talk about, like a bruise, kidney or something, spleet?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
No collapse long collapse long and that again, how do
we get those two reasons? Number one, I went down
and somebody landed on top of me, either a foot
straight to the lung because I'm still hopping, or we
hit in the air. I fell, he fell on top
of me. That's number one. And also what also commonly
(06:54):
leads to collapse lung?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't know. Show me broken red God, that goes
back to broken bone. Man, I'm gonna have to be
a little more proactive about the kids getting on these trampolines.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
The yeah, and they're like if there's if there's more,
if there's more than you get out the uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They were like, head in the sand may not be
the best and for homes then.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh, no, head in the sand is if you jump
over the birdcae genetics.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Somebody said those should be nine feet tall.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Wait, is that regulation, so to speak?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Regulation for what authorities?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Hold on the National Trampoline Association.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Nine feet.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's what I need to do. I need to go
out and measure.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The trampoline monitors.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Here, oh, here comes the tramp Nazi.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
The wait, there's supposed to be nine feet tall, which,
by the way, you're still jumping more than nine feet
in the air. Elliott, nine feet, Yes, you get it.
You get a ten or eleven year old with two
friends in there that are bouncing you up.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Nine feet is nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I guess. I never went on another one since my injury.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
The you can get you can get some air again.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I wasn't injured. I just ripped my pants. Mom was
so angry because she was worried that I screwed up
my orthodonys.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh, certainly the and but also what's the other So, yes,
you're double jumping each other or some And they said,
and this isn't doctor Leanna when this is my interpretation
of it. If you're in there and let's say, uh oh,
kid gets in there, maybe maybe a kid that's flirting
with diabetes, get out, because that kid is gonna bounce
(08:49):
you like he's bouncing titties. He is gonna send you
a flying And then they said you're better off the
and she was like, listen, they're so popular. Everybody's friend
has one. Somebody in the neighborhood has one. There's parties,
and you don't want to tell them they can't go
to parties. The closer to the ground, the better for
(09:10):
the trampolines. And they said that's why in some cases
trampoline parks are better because they are ground level.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
In a lot of cases they are ground level. Someone
in our neighborhood you could also put You could also
put fifteen twenty kids at a time on there.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Who has an in ground trampoline?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Are you serious? Do they win the lottery? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Those have to be super expensive.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
They are they are.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But is there a safety positive there?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, that if you if you if you fall, you're
not falling four feet onto the hard ground, so they
don't just do it. You Also, because there's no fear
of falling off the trampoline, you're much riskier.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But it's not because trampolines are an iceore. What do
you mean I mean that's why Diane didn't want the
one that was offered. Yeah, I thought the yard esthetics also,
Oh yeah, I'm sure, but they do say that it
gives you that one on one side, they are safer.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
On the other side, it gives you a false sense
of security. Well, I can't miss and fall off the side,
but they do have that hard like the hard thing
are on the outside.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That's where you see a lot of.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Ankles go is where you get to that hard crust
and the trampoline and that foot hits just wrong and
that's where your foot will hit. Diane, it does this
and when that happens, Now you want me to can
I show you where the ankle goes right up through here?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
From Teresa on Facebook. My son didn't even fall off,
but while jumping with nephews, hit it at the exact
moment where it was like jumping on concrete at full force.
Because of the unfortunate timing, broke his ankle and growth
played in his shim that death surgery and now he's
(10:56):
got a screw in his leg.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
By the way, And I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm glad that she mentioned that because doctor Leanna Winn
points it out.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Growth plates.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, those uh, those those have seen quite a bit
of damage over the last ten years. Silly gps, Hi
Elliott the Morning not girl parts. Hi, Hi, who's this him, Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yes, Elizabeth, are you how how old are you? I'm fourteen?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh yeah, oh so you go to trampoline parties all
the time.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, so I was a sorry about like a trampoline.
So when I was in New York with my brother
and my friends.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
We associated trampoline with no net and we were just
bouncing and you know, you know the game Popcorn.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, sure, So we were doing that with.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
My brother and he does want flying off, like he
literally just like re bounced him, and he does want
flying out without the net.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Hey, did he get hurt?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
So's ankle kind of but like you didn't really do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
He just kind of like start complaining about it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But he's fine, right, you.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Tell him, Hey, buckle up, Buttercup, you're going playing. Hey listen,
I don't know if you care to. You want to
say butthole on the radio, you can kind of yeah, yeah,
go ahead, It's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
No, it's like I've heard of it. But yeah, no,
well you have one. Well I don't know how you
were born.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
And Tyler's clapping for you in case you can't hear it.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, hold on for your ribbon, hold on one.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Second, love it and that's the thing with nets too. Remember,
like when I.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
All sense the security, I could shove you right through
it and I was jumping.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Those nets did not get into stores or come with
trampolines until the Lake the late nineties.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, no, they were never a part of it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And listen, if your kids were like my kids and
they grew up playing hockey, all that means is watch
me check you into the net, Like that's all that
that represents. I'm going to shove you into it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But the structural integrity of the net from years of
use could be compromised as well.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
The net doesn't hold anything in.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I'm already checking all the springs the uh remember
when they remember the exposed springing?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Check everybody off?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There was the trampoline monitor, how many like when I
don't know what trampolines are like now, But do they
not have exposed springs? Well they do, they don't, but
I've ripped up all the batting. But the But remember
when you could.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
See all of the springs and they would tell you
the rectangular ones that we used to have for our
pe units. Oh, I went right through the corner.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh did you realize?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, remember there was always kids that would hit it
and then they would get their skin pinched in there
you were. That was the one thing that I was
always afraid of is that you would miss it. You'd
go down and you'd pinch a ball skin in the spring.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Wait a minute. You had a trampoline at school.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
For they they did that. That was like one of
the you know you did like archery and ping pong
and stuff. That was like one of the middle school.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Pure middle had.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
We had a big, big old rectangular trampoline four feet
off the ground. Yeah really, and it was the big,
gigantic rectangular ones.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And it had how many kids at a time.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Only one at a time, and you had you had
the it was it was sort of supervised and you
had like the big springs and then there was that
big gap in the corners and somebody put the push
the mat to the side that was supposed to be
covering the springs, and I wasn't paying attention. I went
right and I was hanging there. Wait, so they would
I had like a dent in my leg for years.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Right, almost like almost like a wound if you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Bye behind.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Wait a minute, So your school, Lake Braddis had a
trampoline but only one at a time.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You only one person on there at a time, I believe.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, so everybody got one jump and they had to
get off.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You've jumped a little bit, like let's do a pike
or whatever you were doing. Wow, it seems kind of
like a stupid unit in pe now in retrospect, but.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Are there any schools that have a trampoline now? Like
you can't even have a slide because somebody will burn
their little precious legs. Now, there's no way schools have
tramp maybe a private school.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
There's no public school that has a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Highly doubt it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The you know what, that's my push, when's the next
Arlington school board meeting?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Gotta have trampoline.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Let's stop with this horseback riding this, bring trampolines and
so we know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'd bring that sign Bye bye hymen.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Do you think though, because you bring up schools and
it's just being such a liability When there is an injury,
whether it be a broken bone, a head and neck injury,
or a collapsed lung internal injury, is that is that
the last day that trampolinees in that person's backyard.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No, you don't just get rid of it after an incident.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You have two kids, if one of them, if one
of them broke their ankle, you're gonna tell the other
one they can't use it anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well, first i'd get rid of that friend. But yeah,
I don't want the bottom as is. No, I understand
an actual piece of evidence I can point to as
to why. Look, I say it for sunscreen all the time.
Do you want sun damage like I have under my eye? No,
I put sunscreen on. I'll help you. I know you're
(16:25):
in eighth grade, but I'll put it on for you.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
The no.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I love real world examples. I don't want a child
to get injured.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right, Hey, your older brother just had a collapse lung.
We got to get rid of it. Now, the uh no,
I don't think that's reason to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But then you like had the it had the accident.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Right, Well, I hope you also had bad homeowner's insurance
because you know you're getting sued.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
The uh no.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But like, for example, the the your kids have gone
to trampoline parties.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You're talking about where it's like an actual venue. Yeah, yeah,
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Right, But if if if let's say, let's say your
daughter jammed up her ankle. The next week, when your
son's friend is having a birthday party, there, you're gonna
tell me he can't go because of the ankle to
your daughter.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Absolutely, ever, my kids are like me, and I'm fine
with that. Keep it. I'm safe.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I'm the protector. Like, I'm sorry, you can't go, but
your brother's going. Yeah, he's set.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That happened when my son almost drown We then cut
off all pool parties for like two years.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh, come on, he almost died the okay, but that's
how we learn.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It'll probably only happened once.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Hi, Elliott the morning, Me, Yeah, Hi, who's this? This
is Emily from Richmond. What'd you do?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Some friends of ours bought a house and it had
an in ground trampoline, which.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Is not as fancy as it sounds.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's literally just like a hole with.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
The trampoline slush with the ground right, and my husband
double bounced me and I snapped my ankle.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
In two and we did doin it for everybody they got.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
They got rid of the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
By the way, Am I wrong in thinking that?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Because listen, Jackie and I well Jackie, not as much
as me, but I would do it. Like if if
if I were picking up the boys from a trampoline park,
I get right in there.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, hey, we still got time for dodgeball, right.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Adult adult injury at a trampoline park a thousand times
worse than kid injury at a trampoline park. So so
like even if even if you're a family, thank you, ma'am.
Like we have neighbors kind of across the street diagonally,
like Cattie Wampus from us, and they have a trampoline
in their backyard. If I got injured on that, I
(18:56):
would just have to tell somebody I got hit by
a car, Like I don't want to tell anybody that
I would got injured on a trampoline.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Also, I'm reading here that kids under six should not
even step foot on a trampoline.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, that gets into three things.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Number one, the head, the skull isn't strong enough. Number two,
neither were the neck muscles. Number three, let's go back
to GP baby growth plates.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah no, they're.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Saying, if you're by the way, my kids were definitely
under the age of six on trampolines. But yeah, no,
they do say under the age of six. You got
to treat it like poison.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Can you not book a birthday party at a trampoline park?
You're a child who's yes, iver younger? Yes, I don't.
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
What's the big one over off Telegraph Road? Sky Zone?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
That sounds right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Is it sky Zone over off Telegraph Road?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I have no idea. There's a ton Zava Zone.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I mean there's was awesome. Isn't z over by the
Montgomery skating Rink?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Let's see sky Zone all ages welcome.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But Zaba is also like a Ninja warrior course and
everything as well a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I only liked when we went to birthday parties there
first thing or a last thing, because it wasn't as crowded.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
The oh but thank you Leanna when she would like
you to go during off time so you don't have
to worry about the uh that group of kids flirting
with diabetes coming over and bouncing your kid all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Wait, so sky Zone doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Sky Zone says no age on it, although they said
they do have like rules about like ages on certain jumps.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Oh wait, so don't they have doesn't sky Zone have,
like the platform you can jump off of down onto
the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I think so yeah, it's like I want to say,
it's like eight feet.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Maybe it's not that high, maybe it's six feet where
it's like a diving board essentially when you jumped down.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Certain attractions separated by age and size.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
By the way, you know what, you know what? I
am jones it for right now?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A trampoline, pizza in kool aid, Like, that's all that
I want right now.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm sorry, where are my gun? Line? Seven?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yes, ma'am, Hey, yes, Hi? Who is this h It's Kristin, Yes, Kristin.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Well, when I was seven, I was jumping on a
trampoline at my babysitter's house and I bit my tongue
off and it was like hanging on yes, yeah, yeah,
I had to get like ten stitches.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Dude, dude, you bit your tongue off? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh and it was hanging What does that even feel
like in your mouth?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
I had I was seven.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I can barely remember it. I remember like rinsing my
mouth out with water and the Babiesit a is like
freaking out. Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The uh now, but that but the tongue heels. The
tongue heels very quickly. So I mean, while it sounds bad,
it's not as bad as the growing cases that doctor
Leanna Wen talks about, where she talks about the the
injuries have increased, as well as the irreversible injuries permanent
neurological damage from injuries to the head and neck.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, very good, but again, you can't stop it
from happening.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
From sewn, I have two boys who would play on
the neighbor's trampoline. One broke his foot, the other is collarbone.
We then tried at trampoline park. We were there for
five minutes and left at the broken elbow. That was
the end of trampolines for us.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh come on, So what does she do about parties?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Now? Tell her kids they can't go.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I've done that for other activities. You can say no
to your children. You don't have to be their best friend.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, I know, but everybody's going. Everybody's having fun.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Now I'm not familiar with this trampoline bowling. Oh yeah,
what's that? So sp says, we would all line up
and the person would run, bounce off the trampoline and
try to knock over as many people as possible. Yes,
girl in my neighborhood went running toes hit the springs,
pinky toe gone. It was brutal.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh my god, line wait, hold on life Britain.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
He's safe in assuming that my kids are not allowed
on those giant air bounce mats at Pumpkin Passes.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The big pillows.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Those are fune No, and it's they also have one
at the splash park. We don't go on that either,
because then that adds the element of water.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Oh where was the one?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I can't remember where it was, but we used to
take the boys out to one, and they had one
of those big big pads. Yeah, and I remember the boys.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
They were big thing.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Maybe that was where we went, but there were My
boys were on at once, and I remembered the younger one.
He had to be three or something at the time.
He got knocked over that a kid jump and landed
sneaker ahead.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Sneaker ahead.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
We stick to posing behind cutouts for photos. Awesome, your chick.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Can I be the big corn?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
And do we have a sugar free sider?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Ellie in the morning. Hey, this is Chris. Hey Chris,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So I have two great stories.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I'll go in numerical order for the list that you had,
which number one was broken bones. Yes, so we were
all jumping on the trampoline. One kid had the not
great decision to go underneath the trampoline, lay on his
back and push the trampoline up with his leg as
other kids were jumping. Boom, two broken legs right away.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Well, that's just dump sun.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
So it's still a trampoline injury, but a little bit different.
You know, you're UNDERT versus so there's your height difference.
I guess you want to be lower to the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Ground, so that doesn't happen. We'll take that. What's number two?
So number two is the head injury. Two brothers jumping
up and down. As one jumps up, the other goes down.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Boom breaks both of his two front teeth off in
the head of his other brother, Blood everywhere on the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Use a T shirt, wipe it up. We're still jumping.
We are still going. That's excellent, Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
There's a lot of people that say you're wrong. When
there is an incident that trampoline gets trashed.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
This is from Heidi Sun got a trampoline for Christmas.
Very first time he jumped on it, he tore his
acl He had three surgeries. Bye bye trampoline.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Oh my god. Oh come on.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And this is also from Facebook. Lived in Korea in
the South Korea in the nineties and their versions of
nets were chain link fences that smart.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Bye bye hymen.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
So in addition to exposed springs, you had what sounds
like a steel cage match.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well not only that, but don't you remember when you
were a kid, anytime you would climb over the chain
link fence, there's always the.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Points on the top of it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, I mean I saw them, but yeah, I know
you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Do you know how many times in shorts you'd kick
a ball over the fence and you'd have to go
climb that and you would think, I'm rushing and if
my sneaker slips, I am tearing balls as.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Soon as I go over this line. Six. Hi Ellie
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Elliot, good morning, how are you sure?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Hey, I'm doing great? What can I do for you?

So, I live in Pasadena, and my neighbors had a trampoline.
Speaker 5 (26:53):

you know.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You look out, Elliott. They were sawing.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
The littler one got launched by the big one right
over the net with shag into my backyard.
Speaker 5 (27:06):

The neighbors come over, knocking about door frantically.
Speaker 6 (27:11):

weeks later we get built.

They suit us for her broken bone and cast because

have dealt with that. But that that I mean, that's
your homeowner's insurance. Yes, Tyler, Oh, here comes another example
