There are a million reasons why TRAMPOLINES are just BEGGING your kids to hurt themselves.  WELL . . . it's about time a family's trampoline actually SAVED their kids from getting hurt.

On Saturday night, 31-year-old Craig Jackson of Burton, in Staffordshire, England, was home with his wife and his three kids . . . ages six, five, and one . . . when his house caught on fire because of an electrical problem.

All five of them were trapped upstairs.  The window was too high for any of them to jump from except for Craig.  But fortunately, they had a TRAMPOLINE.

First Craig jumped out . . . he says he probably would've been hurt if he hadn't had so much adrenaline.  Then he pulled his sons' trampoline under the bedroom window and, one-by-one, the family jumped down and bounced to safety.

The worst injury any of them suffered was a few bruises and cuts.  (Daily Mirror)
