What is the history of trampoline in China?

The history of trampoline can be traced back to Comanche Indians in northern China in the mid-Kloc-0/9th century, while American acrobats have used similar trampolines for at least 200 years.

The founder of modern elastic trampoline is French acrobat Du Trampoline. He weaves a protective net with hemp rope to strengthen the safety of the "air swing", and uses the elasticity of the net to throw the actors into the air to complete various movements.
