Trampoline History

Posted by Toytown

While shopping for a garden trampoline for my kids this Christmas I came across this rather interesting history of trampolines and trampolining.

I recall seeing silent footage of stage performers using a ‘bouncing bed’ as a prop in their act. Made up to look like a bed the prop was actually a precursor to the modern trampoline.

    I’ve just read those history pages – very interesting. I didn’t know that trampolinig was used by the miitary to train pilots. Cool
