Opinion

Per Curiam.

This is an appeal from a directed verdict and subsequent denial of a new trial. Plaintiff Nabkey, at the time of her alleged injury, was 39 years old. She was a graduate of a Grand Rapids high school, had taken a secretarial course, and had worked as a secretary for various professional people and businesses in Grand Rapids. In the late afternoon of a Sunday in June, 1961, while driving with a friend, she picked up two young hitchhikers. They wanted to go to Bounceland. Plaintiff took them there.

At Bounceland, just outside of Grand Rapids, defendant had installed 8 or 10 pit-type trampolines, enclosed by a wire fence. (See Exhibit 5.) Plaintiff, her friend, and the two boys entered the enclosure. Plaintiff saw people jumping. The boys jumped and showed plaintiff how it was done. After observing them, plaintiff tried it. She got on and off the trampoline about a half dozen times, each time jumping six or seven times. On her last turn, she saw one foot was going to land on the trampoline and the other on the ground. To avoid hitting the ground she raised her right foot and landed on the left which took all her weight. She felt sharp shooting pains in both legs. She stepped or bounced off the trampoline.
