Horrible Luck On a Trampoline... help

So my neighbors went out of town for our april break and they have a trampoline in their backyard. My mom wont let me get a trampoline so i resort to jumpin on my neighbors even though im not suppose to. Anyway last night i was jumping on it and i did a backflip right into the net.. ripping the net from the top to the bottom and destroying my shins on the outter metal bar adding insult to injury my neightbors on the otherside (they are like 8 and 10 years old) saw it happen and are most likely going to tell on me. Now i have to find a 15 ft safety net enclosure before they get home.

Sparknotes: Jumped on my neighbors trampoline ripped the safety net and destroyed my shins.


Where can i get a safety net seperatly? Its got to be 15 ft.

duudde sucks

id say your only real bet here
is to just own up to it
just do it real nice, leave them a letter or go talk to them explaining, offer to pay for it to be fixed, say it won't happen again that kinda deal

go get a huge ass tree limb and leave it laying right next to the tramp, and if they ask, say yeah we had a huge thunderstorm while you were gone, a tree branch must have fallen on it....

i think if u do this and especialy get it done before they get home u will be good cuz worse case is your neighbors tell on u but its cool because u went out of u way and fixed it before it was a problem

I was thinking about making a distraction maybe breaking some windows or something so they think someone broke in and then they wouldnt be so worried about the net and just worry about how they may have gotten robbed. Thoughts?

Dude how old are you?

You are gonna break a window to solve a problem you created?

Either kill the neighbors or come clean.

I'm pretty sure they'll forgive you when you show them that you bought a replacement net. If not you can always follow that guys advice and just kill them. Lay the corpses next to the trampoline and make sure it looks like a trampoline accident.

Ya I'd say this is the quickest and black black zip ties so it looks unnoticeable.

this would be sick but what if there is no trees that close to the tramp and what about when they talk to others and find out there was no huge thunderstorm.

That is what a drunk person would do. Some kid broke the gate on a development my uncles friend owns so he stole all the surveillance equipment but left mud tire tracks from the scene of the crime to his house. Committing a crime to make up for an accident is fucking stupid.

Give them the new net, apologize for beaking theirs and then use it as an reason for getting your own tramp.
