What does your home owners insurance company think of that? I would be concerned that your policy might be in jeopardy. Trampolines cause many injuries yearly and are generally considered high risk. I would definately contact your insurer first just to be sure you aren't going to end up on their bad side and then contact your local bar association for a lawyer who specializes in property owners liability and can advise you on this matter. There is the potential that no matter what the waiver says you'll still end up in court. I would really make sure that this waiver is bulletproof becuse it's likely to get used. It would be even better if it was written in plain english which might help you defend it against someone saying they didn't truly understand what they were signing.

Offering anyone use of that trampoline is simply asking for trouble. Do NOT do it. Waivers of liability generally don't hold up well in courts of law.
They are rather akin to putting up a large sign saying "Use at Your Own Risk". Sign or not, you will get sued, and probably successfully.

I'm not going to attempt to give you any legal advice, but I do know where you can get an online liability waiver form (see the source box below).
If you need genuine legal advice, I would advice consulting an attorney. At the very least, you might want to talk to your insurance agent as some other people have suggested.

This could be a challenge for you as people know trampolines are inherently dangerous. If a child from another neighborhood snuck in there and got hurt, you could be liable. I would recommend against this. Maybe put in a slide or a see-saw instead.

I would check with my insurance agent. My guess is it will be prohibitively expensive. They may not even insure you for it. Take a look around. Do you see any diving boards at swimming pools anymore? They are disappearing because they cost too much to insure. Who can you thank for that? The stinking lawyers.
What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
Get it?

I hate trampolines..... however.... If I had one, I would at least make it "safer"..... not safe. My neighbor dug a hug hole and buried the tramp even with the ground. Hardly noticeable from a distance, close to the ground, and you can easily pad the area around the tramp... Just food for thought.

Since the word "Dawn" was capitalized - the word "alter" - could fit. Like an alter-ego type of thing - works for me. Like a Dawn Princess or Goddess of Dawn ♥

you can not have the parents of the children waive the right to sue on behalf of the child,
