Anyone who sky dives with a fusion in the lumbar region whether a level or two is spared or not has to be nuts. Being fused to the sacrum and stepping hard off of a curb accidentally hurts like hell I can tell you from first hand experience. There is nothing to take the shock for even a minor jolt, so that trauma is transferred up the spine to the first level that isn't fused or to a lower level that isn't fused.
Mariaf is correct about trampolines. They are very dangerous especially without proper supervision. In gym class when I was a kid, no one was allowed to use the trampoline unless the entire trampoline was surrounded by the rest of the class to keep the user from falling into the springs or onto the floor.
Use common sense when considering what sport you do. TiEd can ski because he is an expert and rarely falls. I was allowed to roller skate on a wood floor because wood has give to it and I rarely fell. Young people have better balance and are more resilient than older people so maybe they can take more risks.
