Does anyone like watching olympic trampline jumping?

Has to be one of the most dangerous sports, they look like they're one below avg jump away from hitting the deck from 30ft.

This happened on live television in 1975. His name is Richard Tison. He did NOT die, and went on to win the Olympics the following year. He also won a championship the year before the accident.

I'm actually watching Table Tennis right now. I can't believe this is in the Olympics.

We have a trampoline park in Vegas. Its indoors @ a warehouse. Jumping that high is scary.
