  • The decision was that her brother should have supervised his son and her. In my experience, sisters never listen anyway.

  • Has anyone tried designing a lightweight rigid net cover for a trampoline, high enough to allow enjoyable bouncing but strong enough to prevent users from bouncing outside the safety zone?

  • Is there more to this story? Perhaps it’s like the case not too long back where a woman had to sue her young nephew in order for the homeowner’s liability insurance policy to be payable to cover her medical claims. I think she still lost, IIRC, but that was the part of the scenario that kept getting left out of all the stories.
