Touching Your Toes in Mid Air

While there are many stories about the development of the trampoline, officially the credit to it invention goes to George Nissen.

George Nissen a gymnastic and diving competitor and Larry Griswold a tumbler, both on the University of Iowa, USA gymnastic team are credited with creating the first trampoline.

They had observed trapeze artists using a tight net to add entertainment value to their performance and experimented by stretching a piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, to an angle iron frame by means of coiled springs.

The initial trampoline was initially used to train tumblers.

The name comes from the Spanish word trampolin meaning a diving board.

George Nissen heard the word in Mexico and decided to use an anglicized form as the trademark for the bouncing rig.
