 YeEhAw!
So, I went to my friend's house...
He double bounced my while I was on my hands and knees by jumping out of a tree. (on a trampoline). I flew, still in a crawling position, over his head. My back hit the side, I did a backflip, and I landed on my feet on the ground!! All while in the air I had no clue what was happening and I landed on my feet on the ground!
I was climbing in the tree next to the trampoline. It had just stopped raining. I was about to jump, when my hands and feet slipped off the branches. I fell (and this was high up, too) and hit my upper body on the trampoline. I then flipped off and landed on the ground. I rolled on the ground laughing and I couldn't stand up because my leg wouldn't work at the time.
Turns out that I smashed my leg on the ground so hard that it ripped up my skin a tad and it was right on the nerve (you know, the big bumpy part of your knee)!
I have major issues with my ankles. Things such as tendonidis. It hurts just to jump off of something like 2 feet in the air. I think, if I wouldn't have hit the trampoline first, that I would've broken an ankle or two. It still sent pain soaring through my ankles, but I didn't break them at least!
Hurts like crazy. Good times!

Maybe I'm just turning into an old foegy but that doesn't sound fun at all. I spend the other day at Home Depot buying dirt for a garden I'm building and moved over 40 40lb bags from the store to a truck and then from the truck to my garage. 10 of the bags were cow crap. Now that was some good times!
but to each his own
Woot!

When I was a young one we would zip ourselves up in sleeping bags and slam into one another on the trampoline. We called it the flying burritto.  Glad your not broken CB. P.O.Y!

Sounds like a good idea... My trampoline is surrounded by a terrible mud pit though. Totally steals your bounce!

Cheerful, I think you are funny, but be careful. If you break a wrist or an arm, you can't play. Word?
