Trampolines are not risky
von Evan Villanueva
1. Reason 3: They provide exercise.
1.1. Evidence:"You get a heart-healthy workout,like you do when running or dancing.And young people need all the exercise they can get." ("Not a Toy" Matson 20)
2. Counter Argument: Injuries
2.1. Nearly 98,000 injuries occurred on a trampoline in 2013, right. Well, the only way those injuries occurred is because they were rough housing or had more than one person on the trampoline at a time and could have been avoided but with the safety gear that a trampoline provides, can save people's lives other than injure them forever.
3. Reason 1: Every sport has a risk to take.
3.1. Evidence:"Athletes and kids get hurt doing sports all the time. So trampolines are just the same as a sport." (Matson 21)
4. Reason 2: I have a trampoline.
4.1. Evidence:There has been no injuries with anybody who has been on my trampoline so I can say trampolines are safe as long as they are responsible on it.
