When Are We, As a Species, Going to Learn That Trampolines and Rooftops Don’t Mix?

We've never seen a video involving trampolines and rooftops that ended well.

It’s the summer time! Time to let loose, get wet, and just have a plain ol’ good time. Look – you won’t catch me judging anyone for how they like to blow off steam during this time of year. You can get as wild as you want (it is “jumping into bodies of water” season, after all), or you can get as chill as you want (taking in a fine golden hour at Arrington Vineyards is sublime). It’s all the same to me – the point of summer time is to have fun. I believe it was Galileo that once said that, but I could be mistaken. But, one place where we do have to draw the line is at the intersection of trampolines and rooftops. Folks, we’ve got another one.

“HIT IT!” I actually don’t think she had terrible form on this jump, it’s just hard to control it when you’ve got so much momentum going. That’s my one real critique here, otherwise, this is an Olympic Gold Medal worthy performance.

I’m tellin’ y’all. I’ve seen a ton of videos that involve rooftops and trampolines, and it just never seems to end well for the person jumping off the roof. If you’ve seen one that has gone well, please forward it to me and I will happily change my opinion. Now, is this video as bad as the kid who jumped off the roof and tore through the trampoline? No. But, man the laws of physics put this poor woman through the damn ringer.

At least she’s laughing about it so we know she’s okay, but the sound that that tumble made was VIOLENT. Like, that’s the same sound that Mick Foley’s body man when the Undertaker threw him off of the Hell in a Cell. I’m surprised no one’s dubbed Jim Ross commentary over this clip. Again, I’m not here to judge – if you guys want to keep jumping off of roofs and onto trampolines (wet ones, no less), then keep doing it. But, this is just the latest piece of evidence that it doesn’t work the way you’re drawing it up. Don’t shoot the messenger – I’m just trying to make the world a better place.

Shout out to the one voice of reason in this clip, saying “I TOLD YOU” as her friend was on the ground trying to process the fact that she was just practically shot out of a cannon. Let’s hope that dude standing behind her on the rooftop saw this and thought better of going next. Though, judging by the vibes, I’m not going to count on it. His body might be lying in the woods somewhere.
