Huh? What makes non-Jews more likely to do that? Sounds like you don't know too many non-Jews. I'm a BT with many non-Jewish friend and *gasp* family. Maybe you didn't mean to be insulting but this is an unnecessary and hurtful stereotype.

I don't have many non Jewish friends but my very fully Jewish kids and their friends can be very reckless. Also quite skilled at flips and twists and G-d knows what, which is why mine only broke his growth plate once despite being very active and adventurous. On the trampoline, that is - he's broken other things in other ways.

I have trampoline paranoia.
Bh nothing had happened to my kids but I don’t let them go on until they are much older.
My daughter needed spine surgery not related to trampoline and the surgeon is world renowned and he told me that if it was up to him he would ban trampolines.

I heard an orthopedic Dr. once say
If my daughter wants to play football I will buy her cleats
If she wants to be a cheerleader I will lock her in her room until she graduates
(cheer leading is the most dangerous sport in the US)
