Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who danced to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And, if i don't throw them in they will die." "But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles of beach and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."
I put an ad on craiglist and it was sold in less than 24 hours. Trampolines are dangerous! We are shooting 50% for kids and major broken arms needing surgeries. We had a friend whose son was killed on one because he snapped his neck. Our other friend is an Orthopedic surgeon and he doesn't let his kids ever get on one because he often sees kids come in with horrible breaks and even paralyzed from the trampoline. If you see an orthopod, just ask them if they have one..... The answer will be "NO!" every time.
Hey Tera, I totally agree. We looked into putting one at ground level and after doing research we found no trampoline is the best trampoline. So sorry your peeps got hurt. Were they so sad to see it go?
