Back in my day, there was no such thing as a safety net for a trampoline. If we fell, it hurt. If we fell hard enough, we broke bones. And you know what? That's ok. Kids will be kids. They're clumsy, ridiculous, and hyper - but they're only kids for such a brief period of time. Why can't they just forgo the unnecessary pads for riding your bike or roller blading, take off that ugly net from your trampoline, and screw bike helmets. We never wore or had such insane protection growing up, and I believe we all turned out fine. They're so freaking overprotected that we don't allow them to get hurt. Just stop it and let them learn from their mistakes. Our society is fostering sissys.
