Who invented the modern day trampoline?
George Nissen was the American responsible for inventing the trampoline in 1936
. He was inspired by watching trapeze artists using safety nets and thought he could make something similar to help with his diving and gymnastics training. He and his gym coach Larry Griswold went on to form their own company selling the ‘rebounders’, as they were first called, and putting on acrobatic displays to help market the product.
The first trampoline to appear on the market came in 1942 when Nissen and Griswold created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling company.
