Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Just a thought -- if you have room and are not in a flood plain or have a high water table, you might consider countersinking the trampoline several feet into the ground. You might need to put in a drain field so that rain doesn't collect & stagnate. Again, probably might be too expensive. nne Re: Trampolines > In a message dated 4/14/00 4:53:58 AM Pacific Daylight Time, > nene@... writes: > > << There are " cages " that can be bought the circle the edges of the trampoline > and go way up.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 > I'm not a medical expert, but it seems to me that if you want to incur further brain injury, the trampoline would be the tool of choice. Constant jarring of the brain from the bouncing would be enough if you have an instability let alone those lovely manuevers where you land on the back of your neck. > Boy, I have to second this... Actually the impact of the jumping ( depending on the velocity) might be a little less than running on hard ground, the potential for injury on these is HUGE! Especially to the head/neck. I was a former PE teacher/Athletic Director and during my teaching days we decided to ban tramps from the program. The potential for injury was just too high for the benefits gained...and this was for the general population. IMHO that's just " asking for it " ...there are soooooooooo many other forms of recreation that can be so much more safely participated in! Best wishes, Sally R ACM..Decompression '91...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Trampolines are very dangerous and a serious risk to people with Chiari. I had a trampline and both of my daughters jumped on it daily until I found out that they both have Chiari. I would never let them jump on another one. When I found out that my girls had Chiari, the secretary at one of my daughter's school told me about a 12-year-old who died suddenly while jumping on a trampoline. She had been healthy all her life and had no clue as to why she died. They did an autopsy. During the autopsy the only thing that they found was an Arnold-Chiari malformation.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 I believe it was in this month's Ladies Home Journal Magazine there is an article about trampolines and the hidden dangers. It accounts for so many hospital ER visits throughout the country and this is for our " non chiari " children.
