I saw a question on here (Yahoo Answers) and someone said they twisted their ankle on a trampoline... Is that possible? bcuz I never thought you could because it's not really a hard surface like the ground...
It most definitely is possible it might even hurt more then on the ground. Because the trampoline goes down when stepped which could apply more pressure
I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Its super easy to twist your ankle on a trampoline. Think about getting launched in the air and all your weight PLUS the speed of your fall all on your ankle... then you fall like a brick and roll off before you get landed on.
YES! you can you don't have to be on a hard surface to twist it ...... twisting your ankle is just when you land on it the wrong way like on the side of it.... it hurts....... i hope i helped..... also it not only possible it's INCREDABLY easy i have done it Soooooo many times.
oh my god its not only possible, its incredibly easy
its something every trampoline owner will have to experience atleast once, but probably many many times
it happens especially when two people are jumping. if they jump out of sync one jumper can land on the trampoline right as the other was getting airborne, so the trampoline will not bounce down and cushion the jumpers landing, and they twist an ankle
yes you can. You can twist your ankle while falling back on your feet with all your weight going on to your feet. Also the surface of the trampoline is not flat and you can also slip while falling. Also don't forget the possibility of your foot hitting the side metal frames.
