Re: Reasonable homeowners policy without trampoline exclusion?
We have a trampoline but just police the kids who come to play and use it.
Any crazy kids just don't get to go on there. period.
Common sense has to prevail. We have our trampoline rules written on a sign on the side of the trampoline, ie no more than 3 at a time (it's a large trampoline), no back flips and no kids of very different sizes on there at the same time. A lot of accidents are caused by one heavy kid/adult falling on top of a lighter one. We got the rules idea from a neighboring family where dad is an attorney, and just copied them! The kids (being American I guess) are quite law abiding and stick with the rules. I sat mine down before getting the trampoline and told them this was the condition of getting it, we would have rules like the neighbors so they know the deal also.
So far, 3 years later, seems to work for us!
We have got a huge amount of fun out of it, kids love it and play on it hail rain or snow (and sun of course!)

Thought you were searching for an insurance company that will insure your home against fire hazards? You know. The ones that come from explosion gas fumes due to consuming sprouts.
