> which means that if you put a trampoline in your backyard, and a kid passing through sees it, decides to do a sick jump off of it, and breaks their leg, that was partly your fault for having something so awesome that kids would probably like.

That's not exactly accurate. The two key parts of the attractive nuisance law are a failure to secure something combined with the victim being too young to understand the risks.

So if you put a trampoline in your front yard, that's an easy attractive nuisance case.

If you put a pool in your back yard with a fence and a locked gate, it would be much harder to argue that it was an attractive nuisance.

If a 17 year old kid comes along and breaks into your back yard by hopping a 6-foot tall fence, you'd also have a hard time knowing they didn't understand that their activities came with some risk. Most cases are about very young children, though there are exceptions

>put a trampoline in your front yard

This is exactly what one of our neighbors did when I was growing up.

All the kids loved it.

There just weren't very many lawsuits back then like there are now after the number of attorneys proliferated so much.

To be as safe as they could, the parents put the trampoline in a pit where the bouncing surface was at ground level.

If you drove by, you wouldn't even be able to see it, or have any idea that it was there.

Unless there was somebody bouncing at the time.

You should have seen the look on peoples' faces when they drove down our street and saw that for the first time :)
