Today, I removed the safety padding from around the trampoline because it seemed useless. This afternoon, I did a backflip, got my hair stuck in the springs, ripped out a chunk of my hair, and face planted it into the brick pavers. FML

Hahaha, the OP is from the same place as me (western australia) so props for being in proximity of a retard!

Well, life on a trampoline does have its ups and downs.

BELLY BUTTON! No, wait... that's not it... ARMPIT! Yeah, that's the right one! :D

#82 - On 09/27/2009 at 6:53pm by allmidnighteyes

#20, seriously? SAFETY padding? it's there for SAFETY, which is why it's never useless and should never be removed, and OP is retarded and totally deserves it.

#20 You must be the idiot who doesn't wear his helmet...

Self explanatory.

I'm trying to think of something to say that isn't just endless streams of "hahaha"... But it's just not coming to me.

#4 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:09am by edthered

you went out of your way to remove a safety device that you didn't even think was a hindrance to it at all. YDI 110%

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.

Well I don't really blame her. I took off the padding from my trampoline for the same reason and I'm fine. She was just unlucky :/ or uncoordinated

#44 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:57pm by Sun_Kissed18

What a bloody great idea. You actually fail at life.

#65 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:26pm by jjenniferr05

What?

#66 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:28pm by f_alltheirlives

Ahh it's the retarded ones that are the most satisfying to read. Especially when they get exactly what they deserve :]

#6 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:15am by up4thebadguys

"Because it seemed useless?" Wow, you're extremely lucky your parents didn't "remove" you because you "seemed useless."

#7 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:16am by splydoms

HA! Exactly what I was thinking. ;)

#67 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:30pm by XHakudatsuX

Sure that was pretty darn stupid doing that but wow you people are harsh. @#7.

#75 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:22pm by FFFFFFUUUUUUUU_

LOL

#83 - On 09/27/2009 at 7:15pm by varsity_gijane

Ahaha that's so true! The only thing she's good for is wasting money due to ignorance!

#87 - On 09/27/2009 at 8:28pm by TJStarzZ

It's there for a reason, you know... :/
Still, I feel sorry for you.

#8 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:20am by Otium

YDI stupid is as stupid does! Lol! If it wasn't bothering you WHY take time to
remove it?

#9 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:21am by Sonfang

why would ever remove a piece of safety equipment? It's obviously there for a reason

#10 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:21am by crayfish

and that's why there's padding

#11 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:22am by Jal1989

Damn, plexico, I was going to say that.

@OP: YDI for treating the the safety padding like that. How would you like it if you were just minding your own business and doing your job when some idiot came along and decided to remove you for being useless? Clearly, the trampoline was trying to teach you a lesson.

#16 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:40am by metonymy

I smell a Darwin award. =)

I'm hoping you know what those are, Plex, because it goes along with your comment.

#27 - On 09/27/2009 at 11:42am by XOfiestypixie

Haha. YES! I love that one! It makes me laugh everytime.

#50 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:12pm by XOfiestypixie

lolz was that the guy who was suffocated and crushed my like, a half ton of elephant shit or something? It's always heartwarming to hear about people Darwining themselves into their own demise. this FML would've been better if her neck snapped. Just remember, OP, the child safety caps on the Drain-O is just to keep those bastard kids from drinking the delicious soda inside. You can certainly get it open. drink up.

#61 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:13pm by _THE_MASTER_

When reading this all I could think of was ouch! At least your leg didn't go in btwn the springs. I think that was another FML.

#13 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:26am by lol_ironic_life

I'd keep the padding on just to make it easier to climb on! It's very painful to climb on the metal springs when it's hot outside.

#14 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:27am by Amysbodybetrayal

wow,that was stupid.YDI.if i had been there,id be laughing at you.nice one.

#15 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:32am by arisaurus

See, it took effort and time to take that thing off, and there was just no reason to do so. It wasn´t in your way, nor was it at all harmful. I´m figuring your train of thought must have been approximately: ¨Hey, I think I´m going to take this thing off, even though that´ll take tons of time and effort, and it won´t do me any good to take it off.¨ That´s the kind of thinking that gets people killed, so you´re the lucky one.

#17 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:41am by sithwithashotgun

lmao and u said ut was useless?!?! omg I would have fainted... lmao!!!

#18 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:58am by rosanna28

just because its useless doesnt mean you gotta get rid of it
YDI big time.

#19 - On 09/27/2009 at 11:07am by Talihintti

YDI. Why does it seem every FML from Australia is epic fail?

YDI for having sex with puppies and stuff...

serious though... ydi you dumb bitch.

#25 - On 09/27/2009 at 11:36am by bethangrubb

ydi. why do you think its called "safety padding"?

#28 - On 09/27/2009 at 11:45am by cornsnake

Be happy Darwin is dead. Otherwise he would follow this site and track down all the idiots like you so he can "clean" the gene pool. Epic Fail.

#39 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:21pm by S1R

Why remove it If it's not doing anything

#40 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:21pm by ErinLJ

please don't procreate!!

#41 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:25pm by Zoa

It's called safety padding for a reason...

#42 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:25pm by Noxic

ouch but YDI for not realizing

#45 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:59pm by PsYkIc

What's the good in removing those anyways?
I can't think of any advantages that you will get from removing it

#46 - On 09/27/2009 at 12:59pm by Mastyge

Well if you are a masochist and enjoy pain then removing safety padding would be a big bonus.....

#47 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:04pm by S1R

Haha, you'd think so, but even masochists don't like hitting their faces on bricks. :P

#70 - On 09/27/2009 at 3:29pm by Lonely_Lez

I would expect them to go all the way.

#84 - On 09/27/2009 at 7:21pm by S1R

It's called a SAFETY padding for a reason... your life pretty much sucks but you deserved it. Sorry.

#48 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:07pm by rhodium

obviously deserved because you're a complete idiot.

#51 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:19pm by laurr_rawrs

way to go

#52 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:27pm by WhyworldWhy

Saftey padding is the key phrase here. You deserve it, and you should count your blessing that you didnt get a more serious injury.

#53 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:40pm by Widener2012

count urself lucky it wasnt death

#54 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:48pm by cheezburgergirl

"Woman killed by trampoline"
I think that's a bit extreme :P

#58 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:55pm by Mastyge

YDI and then some.

#55 - On 09/27/2009 at 1:49pm by Hypershadow

I'm not going to vote that you deserve it, but rather your life sucks because if you are that much of an idiot to remove safety equipment that does nothing but keep you from getting hurt, than it most definately sucks to be you. How do you function in society?

#59 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:10pm by j_rock1981

Did you remove the brakes on your car, too?

#60 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:12pm by allie2590

Ummmm It's there for a reason dumbass. YDI.

#62 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:16pm by Switch85

Please remove the airbags in your car and drive really fast everywhere from now on, we dont need you anymore

#63 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:22pm by f_alltheirlives

it's called SAFETY padding for a reason. you are obviously retarded. YDI.

#64 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:24pm by jjenniferr05

Exactly. It's not like it came alive & kept poking her or something. It was just there.

#68 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:32pm by XHakudatsuX

Wow. That's just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why the hell did you remove the safety padding? It's kind of like insurance. Just because you don't use it all the time doesn't mean you should get rid of it! YDI for being an idiot!

#69 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:59pm by JoonBee

#72 - On 09/27/2009 at 3:54pm by fmylife63093

You are stupid, they wouldn't put it on the product unless it was for safety. A trampoline is unsafe as it is, take away the padding and someone like you lands on the springs and cuts open their arm or rips out their hair. God, you are dumb.

#73 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:01pm by RubixMonkey

Even if you thought it was pointless what would be the benefit in taking it off?

#74 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:21pm by synchroskater

i totally agree with #69 YDI

#76 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:24pm by Colombiano1609

You know, the safety padding is there for a reason. They didn't put it there just for the heck of it. You deserved it.

#77 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:33pm by meep64

YDI. If it was already on, why would you take it off?

#78 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:38pm by mpangz

it was a ydi the moment u said that u removed the safety paddings.

#79 - On 09/27/2009 at 4:50pm by ziqi92

Murphy's Law!

#80 - On 09/27/2009 at 5:41pm by greg2001

Sure they didn't have padding in the old days but injuries were much higher from trampolines in the old days!
Once (pre padding, in the early 90s) I was on a friend's trampoline. His mother was watching me from the window. I jumped, slipped, landed on the springs and ended up hanging by a sock in a handstand over the edge of the trampoline. If it wasn't for my sock I'd have been quite seriously injured. If there'd been safety padding I'd have just fell on that.

#81 - On 09/27/2009 at 6:24pm by NotNegativeNews

ohmaigawd.. the exact same thing happened to me!.. except in the late 90's

#93 - On 09/28/2009 at 12:44am by KatieGoesRawrr

YDI for not using your head, FML because I'm not an asshole.

#85 - On 09/27/2009 at 7:51pm by capital_seven

Broke my nose on the "safety padding" of a trampoline several years ago... I really don't want to know what would've happened without it. xD

#88 - On 09/27/2009 at 9:26pm by fenfenrocks

ydi, fool.

#89 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:24pm by lolhaha118118

I bet you look pretty now. :]

#90 - On 09/27/2009 at 10:44pm by Witchcraft

YDI. That's why it's called "Protective Padding"

#92 - On 09/28/2009 at 12:12am by iKlonoa

well you probably void any and all warranty's and cant sue for damages.

#94 - On 09/28/2009 at 1:35am by mnkyc_mnkydo

YOU GOT FUCKED UP :D fyl as well.. ydi for not knowing better

#95 - On 09/28/2009 at 3:45am by Mx_Rider

I got as far as "Today, I removed the safety padding from around the trampoline" before clicking "you deserved it".

#96 - On 09/28/2009 at 5:55am by Edumacated

thats so awesome.


made me laugh.

#97 - On 09/28/2009 at 6:12am by integrababy

you might want to read the leaflet that came with the trampoline again saying why the net mesh is suppose to be there.... oh wait, you don't need it, you'll learn by "experience" and a hospital bill. No worries.

#98 - On 09/28/2009 at 6:37am by keithfeeney

Let me guess, bike helmets and seat belts are also useless?

#99 - On 09/28/2009 at 7:09am by ayashe

"Today, I cut off the seatbelts from my car because I thought they were useless. I then had a head-on collision with a car, went through the windshield and died".

This is how idiotic you sound. Tool. Massive YDI.

#100 - On 09/28/2009 at 9:37am by joethebiden

Apparently brains are also useless to you.

#101 - On 09/28/2009 at 9:50am by GriefBacon

I had a friend that had a trampoline with no padding. While we were on it he pushed me off, but instead of falling on the ground, my right leg fell into a hole between the springs and caught me. The only problem was that I was hanging upside down by one leg while my so called friends laughed hysterically.

#102 - On 09/28/2009 at 1:03pm by Ar3s

Safety first, sweetie!

#104 - On 09/28/2009 at 3:23pm by tony8pie

how ironic

#107 - On 09/28/2009 at 4:46pm by suchit94

Was it so useless that it was worth removing..? You're an idiot.

#108 - On 09/28/2009 at 8:59pm by wakawakawaka

you know, theres a reason they have those,
because some one has hurt them self on it before.
be smart next time ;D

#109 - On 09/28/2009 at 11:39pm by antherletdwn

please don't reproduce

#110 - On 09/28/2009 at 11:53pm by technicality09

The padding is useless and seatbelts are more of a hazard than a precaution *eyeroll*

#111 - On 09/29/2009 at 4:30am by TheKitsune

YDI because you decided to remove the safety that would've protected you from all of that. If you didn't see that coming, YDI x 5

#112 - On 09/29/2009 at 11:17pm by rub_a_dub_dub

turns out it's not so useless dumbass

#113 - On 09/30/2009 at 11:39am by heatrider986

Wow your just epically stupid OP

#114 - On 10/02/2009 at 12:22am by anbu4312

Just because something "seems useless" doesn't mean it is. OP is stupid.

#115 - On 10/02/2009 at 9:09am by sicklittlegames

You mutilated the trampoline. You must never mutilate a trampoline if you're not sure you've broken it in yet.
