Advice on buying a trampoline for SEN kid

[Mamma136]

I keep hearing how dangerous they are and loads of kids end up with broken limbs because of them. If we get one with a net and discourage back flips then presumably it should be safe enough?

SEN kid has always used then at therapy. We're getting an 8ft one for the garden now so he can bounce to regulate before school. He knows to zip it up after himself.

Any advice or tips are very welcome!

You can build them into the ground to save accidents.

We've had one for about 15 years with no injuries through 3 dc. We have a net around it. Our rules:

Only one dc on the trampoline at a time unless playing a game which involves only sitting.
No back flips.
The net must be fully zipped up.
No one goes underneath while anyone is on the trampoline for any reason.
Only one ball at a time in play.
No food/drink.
Nothing sharp.
No phones in pockets.

Tbf none of the dc are particularly accident prone or inclined for wild behaviour! It's been used for bouncing, kicking a football, star gazing (we always go out for the shooting stars in summer-they're this weekend) and lazing around.
