Here is a wussy mother:

I don't get it. There were 515,000 ER visits for bicycle injuries in 2010. (These are adults and kids, but kids and teens make up 60% of all bike injuries, so still more than trampolines.) And motor vehicle ER visits are way higher. Are you going to tell your kid not to ride a bike? Are you going to walk your kid to practice instead of ferrying him in a car?

What percentage of people (adults and kids) riding bikes regularly end up in the ER in comparison to those jumping on trampolines regularly? Also, those using cars v trampolines?

I'm not agreeing with those against trampolines (we have one and we encourage our kids to get out and jump often), but your argument doesn't hold up just citing total numbers. Of course motor vehicle numbers are way highter - more people are in cars a lot more frequently than they are on trampolines.

My son, like the rest of America, wanted instead to see PPII so we helped the women triumph over the testosterone laden Mad Max movie. Pitch Perfect 2 pulled in almost twice what Mad Max did, and I think a lot of it was due to the R rating. Also, this first time director pulled in more box office than any other first time director, male or female.

some of it was due to the R rating, some of it was due to the fact that the movie is just ok, not great.

When my son broke his arm falling off the monkey bars, the ER nurse asked: "was it the monkey bars or the trampoline?"

Just FYI.
