okay... for the record:
glass pans in and of themselves are not a bad thing... but, glass pans that are inconsistent in thickness, have to mounted with sheetmetal screws and from the bottom side of the rig are! if you can mount them from inside the rig with a mechanical bond and they are known to be uniformly thick enough, you have a chance of them working okay.

Not sure I would want to try bouncing on a fiberglass composite trampoline. Way too stiff. 
As vwfye stated....Fiberglass composite floorpans in and of themselves are not necessarily a bad thing.....it is just that the ones out there are not prticularily good.
There is a bunch of stuff on my website about composites and floorpans made from them. Check it out at:

After reading, please feel free to ask more questions.
