They are pics of trampoline springs embedded into human bodies.

It seems that a lot of people don't take this seriously.

People do indeed die from those springs. They are like mini garage door springs.

That goddamn trampoline is about a foot away from the fence. The first thing the kids did was to remove the padding covering the springs. then, a 9 year old had a toddler on that trampoline, which has no net. I kept picturing someone getting impaled on my fence.

The town says to just chalk it up to "bad parenting", and that there is nothing they can do about it.

Until someone dies, I guess.

This is the same family that had an aggressive, untrained, un-neutered male pitbull that bit the babysitters face, and the dog had to be put down.

Fun times.
