Trampoline or not trampoline?

[Thatisme]

Hello there, first time here so forgive me if I am not posting under the correct category (I am going to have to learn how to navigate this site). My DH and I were considering buying a trampoline for our 2 kids (aged 8 and 11) to give them some sort of entertainment that is active and non-screen related. They are really looking forward to getting one but the more I research which one to buy the more I am put off by the horror stories of broken bones and trips to A&E. I am aware that there will be safety guidelines they'll have to follow but kids will be kids and soon enough they will be summersaulting and jumping on it together instead of taking turns. I am really in two minds about this now. I don't want to put them in bubblewrap and stop them from having fun (accidents can happen anywhere) but I don't want to take unnecessary risks. What are people views on this? If you own a trampoline what's your experience with it? Thank you for your time.

I am sure our two would have loved one but we had nowhere suitable in the slopey garden for one to go so that was good.

They would play at friends' houses on them and there was lots of shouting and screeching, so not sure how the neighbours felt. It's more that I would worry about than injuries.

We've had one now for about 8 years and no injuries, although we have had to replace the outer net once.

Although tbf they don't spend a lot of time just bouncing on it. Ds and his friends have a sitting down football game they play, or ds and dd1 play a game where one is outside the net and throws it in and tries to score a "goal" against the one inside. It's very popular round meteor showers when we all take duvets and pillows out and watch them-or in later summer we watch the bats coming out, or clouds etc. Dd1 likes to sit and revise on it. and dd2 reads on it.
It's also good when we've had visitors with crawling babies as we can put them on the trampoline, drape a sheet (or two) overhead for shade and do up the zip and it's a fantastic playpen!

@ittakes2 that's the one I was talking about it was mega bucks and was imported from Australia!
