Mostly injuries occur on the mat, but big brands and better makes generally have double bounce system. Mats uses two layers of well padded and cushioned sprung mats, which provides lowe bounces for the kids but it can handle upto 17 stone adult (and that 17 stone can be lost in no time, if you use trampolines regularly!)
