do trampolines affect homeowner's insurance?

i've wanted a tramp for a long time and finally got my parents to give in. however, they won't let me buy one if it requires us to change our insurance policy or if the tramp's not covered etc... we've contacted the insurance company but they're taking weeks to respond

does anybody with a tramp have experience with this?

Fucking insurance company came to measure my house and such. My parents get a letter saying we have to take down the trampoline. Fucking bullshit. This si at my summer house in VT that this is happening at so it is down now, but my dad wrote a letter back saying that the trampoline is for my ski training so they are going to have to find another person to write the insurance haha. I hope it works becasue the trampoline is going up regardless in the summer.
