Claim:
A trampoline jumping system comprising: a trampoline that has a circular frame, a rebounding mat, and a plurality of spring members extending between the frame and the rebounding mat such that the rebounding mat is supported by the frame; plural independent poles attached to the trampoline, each pole being an elongated body that extends linearly between and terminates at two terminal ends, the terminal ends respectively being an upper terminal end positioned above the rebounding mat and a lower terminal end positioned below the rebounding mat, the uppermost elevation of each pole being five to eight feet above the rebounding mat, each pole being spaced apart from all the other poles such that none of the poles is located immediately alongside another of the poles, the system being without a rigid member extending between upper portions of every pair of adjacent poles such that not all of the upper portions of the poles are secured together by a rigid framework; and an expanse of flexible material that is supported above the rebounding mat by the plural independent poles and that is positioned to serve as a barrier to prevent jumpers from falling off the rebounding mat.
