06. Could we jump on a trampoline - how high? - and do gymnastics? (A K2S Question)

A trampoline probably wouldn't be a good idea on the Moon—you would go too high and not be able to aim when you came back down—and it wouldn't work in space. Gymnastics, on the other hand, would be really neat. In space you could only do some of the activities, like the uneven bars, but on the Moon you could do them all!
