Default B&Q trampoline - any good?

B&Q are doing a 12' trampoline for £65 quid.

The box says:
Galvanized steel frame with stainless steel springs
Foam safety pads and polypropylene jumping mat
Max weight 90kg

On particular question I have is about the stainless-steel springs. All
other tramps seem to have galvanised steel. Will stainless stay springy?


Are you and three other people going to stand and spot each side every
time one of the kids wants a go ?

I'm not one who normally blows the safety nazi trumpet, but (and don't
laugh - as someone who represented the county at trampolining) you (or
your kids) can do themselves a serious injury if they come off - that
flimsy safety net doesn't look like it would stop any one

You have to remember that a trampoline is not a toy, it's a piece of
sports equipment which really you need to learn how to use. Even if you
don't fall off, you can break e.g. an ankle, if you have two on it, you
could lose teeth
