The truth is, trampolines ARE very dangerous. Yes, pads and nets can keep you from falling off, but the worst trampoline accidents (back and neck injuries) happen from falling ON the trampoline, if you hit it when the bed is popping back up. The force is a lot greater than people realize.
That said... millions of people have trampolines and use them safely. If you convince your parents to get you one, make some rules for it and stick to them. You should never double bounce someone... in fact, you should have a rule that only one person can bounce at a time. (Most backyard tramp accidents happen when someone gets double-bounced, either on purpose or by accident). If you can convince your parents that you're aware of the dangers, and that you'll stick to the safety rules, maybe they'll give in. Just be careful! :)

Well, I had a trompoline that had a LOT of padding, a net AND rubber-band-like springs. There was no way I was getting hurt on that thing and thats why my parents went for it so try asking about that. We got it at sports authority.

I would get one of those safety nets for it that they have i would talk to them about that and tell them how you will be safe and not do front flips or backflips on it
hope i helped hun

my best friend had taken a good 6 years of trampoline before she got her trampoline. on memorial day 4 years ago she was a with a friend playing on it and she broke large sections of her upper spine when she landed incorrectly on the trampoline. she was immediately paralyzed and had to be airlifted out to a hospital 2 hours away. she had very little chance of a full recovery and was told she would be paralyzed for life. my friend wanted to be either a back-up dancer, chorus girl in a musical on broadway, model, or choreographer and she wasn't going to be able to even drive.
she spent the next 3 months in rehab in order to be able to wheel into school the next fall to change her schedule from dance and drama and chorus to creative writing and chorus and US History (so she could possibly graduate early). with more rehab she was able to gain full use of her legs (and transferred into dance at the semester), but even today she still suffers in everything she does because of the plates and bolts that hold together her frail body. she can't go outside in the cold. she can't hold extremely physical jobs. she can't use a normal backpack. she has scoliosis and will need a back-brace throughout college even with another surgery that she'll have this summer.
she took 6 years of trampoline lessons and knew how to be careful and one wrong landing has affected the rest of her life. you do not want a trampoline.

You could do some chores to help pay it off. They will be more convinced that you are more responisible, and able to be safe. If they still are iffy about it, make sure you mention the netted in ones. They are like regular trampolines but they have this big net barrier around them so people dont fall out. That helps it become less of a safety hazzard. Mention as well that there can be a specific number of people that they want on the trampoline at a time. This will show them that you are aware that too many people on the trampoline is extremely dangerous. If you end up getting one, make sure that you dont wear shoes because you could clunk somebody in the head. Be sure to explain the whole tether ball thing, and how it broke so you couldnt use it, and you didnt even want it, and you really want the trampoline. Good Luck, and hope i helped.

well, try saving some money and say i'll pay for half or something..also, get a trampoline with a net around it...i have one and i think it's a lot safer. Just give them some options like not paying for all of it and getting a safe one. i hope i helped. good luck (:

maybe they cant afford it? parents sometimes try and talk you out of things rather than admit they can afford something. so try and be reasonable. maybe leave it for a couple of weeks, then try and talk to them again; to prove its not a fly by night thing; that you still want it after a couple of weeks.
maybe try telling them the safety rules; all the ways you know how to be safe? and ask they buy a net for it too; that way you will be safe!!
good luck
