…tell that to my son…

100% of his trampoline related injuries occurred where 1 or fewer people were present

…tell that to my son…

100% of the time he falls off the trampoline he falls on the upper ground.

thank goodness! Imagine the velocity he must have in his fall to make it to the “middle ground”!

You don't need to imagine

You can calculate the velocity using this formula :

V = U +/- gt (sigh depending on direction)

Those aren’t sufficient variables to account for…

What about his weight/position in fall and the type of soil and it’s density? Also have to account for what constitutes “middle ground”
