I think if it did cause one to never come down, I might buy one.

Am I the only one who looked at that and thought it said "...recalled for fail hazard" at first?

Curious... Skywalker Holdings appears to have come into being after 1977, and yet they don't appear to be affiliated with Lucasfilm.

Does George know about this?

OK, obviously there's a greater falling hazard with this model, but don't all trampolines represent a falling hazard?

Who's the CEO of Skywalker Holdings? It's just my suspicion that... you know....

@ohenry: No.

I can never think of tra-mop-olines, tra-mamp-iline, TRAMPOLINES! without thinking of the Simpsons:

So would this be the Chinese Mayhem Train?

Just remember, you home owners insurance will drop you if they find out you have an outdoor trampoline you didn't tell them about (and they haven't been charging you extra for).

@lockdog: because indoor trampolines are what those ginormous two-story entrance-ways in your McMansion were designed for.

"This just in- 60,000 trampolines on the rebound to China"

@magic8ball: If the trampoline falls, it's a hazard. When you fall, it's a feature.

@ohenry: I thought it said 'fire' hazard. I spent several moments squinting at the headline, wondering how the heck jumping on a trampoline could cause it to catch on fire.

@lockdog: That's interesting and something I wasn't aware of.

When I was a young'n, I broke my ankle in several very creative ways during one bad jump on a friend's trampoline. My parents ended up collecting from my friend's parents' home owner's insurance for the medical bills. My friend claimed I was 'suing' them for the accident and refused to talk to me for a couple of years.

I suppose that's why. They must have not have mentioned it to their insurance. Now that I know it was just her stupid parents' fault, a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Thank you.

This is bad news for the producers of AFV, who too often seem to think trampoline accidents are funny.

@bennilynn: I'm 22 years old and my mom recently reminded me that I am still not allowed on trampolines. Harumph.

@magic8ball: I was just going to say 'Is this an Onion article?'. :D

@bennilynn: I thought the netting around the trampolne was there to ignite for extra-awesome jumping effect.
