The first and last time I was on a trampoline, I tried to do a backflip and landed on my chest in a full scorpion. My spine whipped and cracked pretty much every join in my spine. It was loud enough for the people standing next to the trampoline to hear.
I felt such unknown levels of comfort and relaxation that I was worried that I had just paralyzed myself, until I realized I could feel my toes.
That was the only time in my life I have experienced such nirvana, from the tension and pressure being released from my back to the euphoria of not being paralyzed. It was a serene tranquility that I imagine only the Buddha knows. I was in a moment of Zen that can otherwise only be achieved through dying of natural causes while meditating.
30 years later, after getting an X-ray for some unrelated thing, the doctor: “Wow did you know four of your vertebrae were fractured?”
It is a relief knowing I have like 6 years before I get the bad news.
I had zero pain or discomfort after(totally the opposite) and was very conscious of any signs that I might need to go to the hospital. All was well, but I am sure I came very close to having a bad time.
Hey, no double bouncies!
That’s very streets behind thinking.
DOUBLE BOUNCE ME!!!
I don’t get it what’s a double bounce are y’all counting the number of bounces you do on the trampoline?
Lol it’s gravity and physics. Double bounced means two people jumped and tried to land as close to the same time as possible to cause the trampoline to sink lower than it would if one person were jumping. The person getting double bounced sits on the trampoline waiting to be bounced.
The other person doesn’t have to sit down and wait. It’s more about timing. One bounces ever so slightly before the other and one of them ends up getting almost all of the combined momentum making them bounce higher, With the other, having traded that momentum now doesn’t get as much height as normal.
Feels like a triple when you’re the scrawny kid
That’s how you break limbs! So fun!
