I know what you mean about the Trampolines, all the kiddies have super padded ones these days, you have to be incredibly clever to get snagged by the springs. Adding insult to (non existent) injury is that weird side netting they put around the edges. Because Trampolines are so small you cant even flip on them anymore. Might as well get the kids a jogging trampoline then, for all the bouncing they can do.

I have never seen any kids in my local area trying to build a bike ramp with flimsy planks of wood and bricks... those and the good old "chicken with glove gun" were the bane of my childhood years.
