From the supplier: Gary Smith, emergency services director at a children's hospital, called for stopping the private recreational use of trampolines and banning their use by children at home. The results of Smith's study were an increase in children's trampoline-related injuries calling for hospital emergency room treatment from 29,000 US children in 1990 to 58,400 in 1995, or about 60 injuries annually for every 100,000 US children. A leading trampoline manufacturer responded to the study by noting that the rate of injuries has not gone up, although the number of injuries has.

Excellent Book

Jumping for Health: A Guide to Rebounding Aerobics
I have to disagree with the one review listed here. I found the book to be quite informative. It discusses the phyisiological benefits of jumping -- including muscle toning, better posture, lymphatic cleansing, stress reduction, anti-aging, increased balance and coordination, improvements in vision -- and more. I have no idea how sound the medical information is in the book, and actually, I'm not reading it for that content. Intuitively, I sense the it's got to be healthy no matter what the medical details are. There are a total of 33 illustrated exercises graded from basic to advanced. I'm 51 and I'm doing the exercises in the book. My muscles are toning nicely and there's no doubt in my mind that my posture is improving and I'm healthier all around. The book is a pretty good guide in getting started gently. The advanced exercises are a real workout. I recommend the book!

Jumping for Health
This book was a big disappointment. Published in the late 1970s, it reads like a modern-day infomercial. While the author may be an MD, the style is so salesman-ish, I found myself not believing the words and wanting to double check every biological process cited. I was looking for a book providing alternative ways to use a rebounder, other than straight jumping and jogging. This book had a very limited number of such exercises. ... Read more

What a great tape set.Two rather short tapes, but so much information.I had no idea jumping on a rebounder worked the entire body so well.The tape explains personal story examples and a lot of detail on how rebounding works.The sceince of it was very interesting.I must run out and get a rebounder now. ...

a classic!
Appel maintains that mini-trampolines are (a) misunderstood and (b) one of the best and most cost-effective exercise devices of all time. Even 15 years after printing, his premise still seems valid ... Read more
