    trampoline bridge...what?

    Surely you've walked across a river on a bridge. Surely you've driven across a river on a bridge. Maybe you've biked across a river on a bridge. But have you bounced across a river on a bridge???



    There are plans to build a triple trampoline bridge in Paris to cross the Seine River. I find this hilarious and fun, yet dumb and dangerous too. Imagine knocking over the pedestrians in mid-air...or being crushed by one as they fall on you. I'm sure some would even try bounching over the bridge into the river as well. Surely the artist's rendition below should be an accurate representation of how high you'll bounce - right?!



    "It appears to us that Paris already has the bridges and passages necessary for the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic across its waterways. Our intention is to invite its visitors and inhabitants to engage on a newer and more playful path across this same water."

      This is an incredibly stupid design if it is real. I bet you could make it work with a better and safer design that involves the landing zone to not be a tiny metal staircase.

        I'm not even going to lie, Every single time I've been on a trampoline, I've ended up going to the doctor. Good thing this isn't going to be in America, i wouldn't even be able to imagine the amount of lawsuits that could spring up even if they made you sign a waver to get on the thing.

              If someone doesn't die within the first week of this being made I think it you could call it a success.

                Yeah, it'll definitely never happen. Might be a cool idea for an amusement park though, if they can remove all the parts you wouldn't want to fall on.

                  That awkward moment when someone lands on their keys and the thing pops and 200 people drown a very sad death.

                    Doubt this'll get green lit. Seems like a publicity stunt if anything.

                      They need to have an awesome body zorbing cannon launcher and a big landing pad made of trampolines & inflatable stuff instead.

                              Well there is a bridge suspended by floating helium balloons. Fortunately in this case though, this bridge isn't meant to be crossed.
