Police in the Western Australia city of Geraldton say the lucky catch came after the 17-year-old stole a scooter.
The scooter crashed as he tried to mount a kerb.
Police say the teenager then fled, jumped a fence and landed on the trampoline on the other side.
Sergeant Grant Rosman says the boy bounced back into the air, where police were able to catch him and pull him back over the fence.
"I think it was one of those situations where you probably couldn't repeat if you tried to," he said.
A scientific study is raising serious doubts about the green credentials of the expanding coal seam gas (CSG) industry, suggesting it is far less environmentally clean than it claims.
Coal seam gas is booming across southern Queensland and is now expanding into NSW, and the industry is pushing its economic benefits as well as its green credentials.
Rick Wilkinson from the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) says compared to coal, CSG can provide energy with up to 70 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions.
But there is one critical element in this equation: how much greenhouse gas emissions leak into the atmosphere during the extraction process, what the industry calls fugitive emissions.
Peter Rayner from the University of Melbourne says fugitive emissions are "emissions that escape from the intended process of production".
