I inflated it in my backyard, I haven't had it out in the water yet. It seems to be very well built and heavy duty. I bought it to lounge on, not to jump on, but it's nice to know that if this thing is strong enough to jump on, it will be plenty strong to lounge on. I actually plan to use it as a camping platform. I also bought a shade tent, drop stitch mat, inflatable sleeping pad. It should do the trick even though the manufacturer for liability reasons will need to say, don't use it for camping. In the US, you're allowed to camp any creek or river that is navigable. Just need to stay between the ordinary high water marks. I'll either inflate the trampoline at at the canoe drop off point, or inflate when I get there. If I camp close to the access point, I wouldn't even need a canoe, I could just use a pole to get out in the water and then anchor.
