It is hard to pin down the use of the first trampoline to any particular period in history, but for centuries people have propelled themselves or other people into the air using various 'springing' devices.
What we do know however, is that the very first modern trampoline was designed in the 1930's by two gymnastic enthusiasts: Larry Griswold and George Nissen. Since its invention, trampolining has been used in many different kinds of sports and acrobatics. In 2000, trampolining even became an official Olympic sport.
As well as the obvious health benefits of this active sport, trampolining is also great fun - and the perfect way to encourage kids out into the garden!
