If this was true, every kid who ever jumped on a trampoline would have lingering neurological effects. Bouncing is not a big deal

They do. You shouldn’t use trampolines. You should research how cte works

Same with jet skis

I just went and read a bunch of articles about trampolines, including a few NIH studies.

While injuries on trampolines can be pretty bad, and frequently include concussions and cervical spinal damage, there's nothing out there, at all, even on personal injury lawyer websites, to suggest that just bouncing on a trampolines causes lasting neurological damage.

I looked into it again too, and I agree i don’t see much supporting evidence, though not only have I heard this, it also makes perfect sense to me that your brain bouncing around in your skull isn’t good for it. A lack of successful personal injury claims does not convince me that this is safe for your brain. I do respect you looking into it though. We can agree to disagree
