I've tried it, wasnt too much with my bad hips surprisingly but it did feel like my uterus would fall out.

Give it a go, just make sure on your own at your own pace and don't let adrenaline mask any niggles

I did once try it, after urging from very small Gdcs, maybe 3 and 4 then.
I lasted about 30 seconds.
If that.

Cautionary tale: my colleague, her OH and some friends had had a few winewinewine one evening and decided to have a go on their trampoline. As colleague landed on the tarpaulin bit, her (heavy, male) friend accidently jumped on the inside of her knee. Being slightlynthe worse for wear, due to the winewinewine, she didnt realise the damage done until the next day. Knee was severely damaged. Several operations done to try to repair the damage and she STILL suffers immense pain several years later.

...and a chance of serious injury. I'm not a spoil sport, I just think the chance of broken bones is high.

I've lost count of the number of children I saw in school with trampolining injuries.

It's really bad for your pelvic floor. A study was done of young, fit, single physios before and after trampolining regularly and they had worsening of their pelvic floor due to trampolining.
Older women who have had children are putting themselves at risk.

I'd have a go, it's great for training your pelvic floor! grin

I wouldn’t. If kids hurt themselves they bounce back not so much us grannies...shock

One of my teaching colleagues decided to have a go and tore the ligaments in her leg. She was off work for weeks and she was young and fit!

Do so at your peril! wink

Can a gran trampoline? I haven't been on one in a while but the grandchildren have one and it looks so fun. Might do my knees in or wet myself or have another injury. What do you think about trampolining?
