I've been pestered by the kids for a good while to get them a trampoline. I've been putting it off as i'm not entirely convinced about the safety of them. I've a friend who's a radiographer and says the worst trampoline related injuries she sees are as a result of users getting caught in the enclosures! She does however have one for her own kids .
Anyhow now that I think my lads are old enough to follow rules about safe play I might just give in and get one if I can get it sunken - therefore no need for enclosure. Has anyone any advice re digging out the pit. Do we need to do anything to prevent the sides of the pit from collapsing? I know the pit should be about 2 or so inches shallower that the trampoline to allow air out whenever a jumper is on it but any other advise would be welcome.
Thanks
