A trampoline is a piece of equipment that is used for entertainment, gymnastic, and exercise purposes. It's made of a circular frame with a thick mesh fabric draped over it. Spring attachments make you leap and jump on top of the fabric.
bouncing on a trampoline can be enjoyable for both children and adults. It also boosts your heart rate and strengthens your muscles, so it can be used as a type of activity. It's for this reason that rebounding has become so common.
However, the activity can be risky. It puts you at a high risk of getting hurt:
• arms
• legs
• head
• neck
