Re: Thanx for responses about gymnastics

[Guest guest]

I asked Dr. Bassett why he felt the trampoline was so dangerous and he

said that because has a relatively large head and a short neck

she is more prone to neck injury if she should fall. I also got the

impression that Dr. Bassett doesn't like the trampoline for any child,

because he probably sees alot of trampoline injuries in his practice.

It's not just Dr. Bassett. Any member of our MAB will tell you LP's

should not use a trampoline under any circumstances. Not only is the

larger head an issue, but the compression on the spine as one is coming

on the down bounce .

Also, many home owners insurance policies will not cover injuries

sustained on trampolines.

Oops, don't you mean Achon's and Pseudo's Marge? I can use a trampoline and

in the past competed.
