And for people who aren't deliberately missing the point.

I don't see here where anyone has made any supposition that bathtubs are more dangerous than trampolines are, except for your own missive.

Well now you've got me wondering.

What does the data say? Which is more dangerous, trampolines or bathrooms?

I've known a few people who have hurt themselves in the bathroom, but I dont know anyone who has hurt themselves on a trampoline.

Someone with both is more likely to have a bathtub related death. 341 people died by drowning in bathtubs + 70 scalding deaths + unknown number of falls vs 2 deaths from trampolines. ~3 million trampolines in the US.

The risk of being sued is very different though.

I think neighbor's kid's injury rate is more relevant than general deaths-caused rate for a home liability insurance policy

Thus, “The risk of being sued is very different though.”

However, that just circles back to few people asking what their insurance company might think.
