Multiple Jumpers: More than one jumper on the trampoline increases the chance of someone becoming
injured by losing control of their jump. Jumpers may collide with one another, fall off the trampoline, fall on or
through the springs, or land incorrectly on the mat (bed). The lightest weight jumper is the most likely to be
injured.
Mounting and Dismounting: The trampoline mat (bed) is several feet from ground level. Jumping off the
trampoline to the ground or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof, deck,
or other object also represents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting up on or down from
the trampoline. Climb carefully on and off the trampoline. Do not step onto the springs or the frame pad. Do not
grasp the frame pad to pull yourself onto the trampoline.
Striking Frame or Springs: Injury may result from encountering the frame or falling through the springs while
jumping or getting on or off the trampoline. Stay in the center of the trampoline mat (bed) when jumping. Be sure
to keep the frame pad in place to cover the frame. The frame pad is not designed -nor intended to support the
weight of the trampoline user. Do not step or jump directly onto the frame pad.
Loss of Control: Jumpers who lose control of their jump may land on the mat (bed) incorrectly, land on the
frame or springs or fall off the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the landing is in the same spot as the
take off. Before learning a more difficult jump, the preceding one should be performed consistently under control.
Attempting a jump beyond present skill levels increases the chance of loss of control. To regain control and stop
your jump, bend your knees sharply when you land.
Alcohol or Drug Use: The chance of injury increases when a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs.
These substances impair a person's reaction time, judgment, and physical coordination.
Encountering Objects: Use of a trampoline while other people, pets, or objects are underneath it will increase
the chance of injury. Jumping while holding or having an object on the trampoline, particularly one that is sharp or
breakable, will increase the chance of injury. Placing a trampoline too close to overhead electrical wires, tree
limbs, or other obstructions can increase the chance of injury.
Poor Maintenance of Trampoline: Jumpers may be injured if a trampoline is used when it is in poor condition.
A torn mat (bed), bent frame, broken spring, or a missing frame pad, for example should be replaced before
anyone is allowed to jump. Inspect the trampoline before each use.
Weather Conditions: A wet trampoline mat (bed) is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusty or severe winds can
cause jumpers to lose control. To reduce the chance of injury, use the trampoline only under appropriate weather
conditions.
Limiting Access: To prevent access to the trampoline by unsupervised small children the access ladder should
always be removed and stored in a secure location when the trampoline is not in use. (Ladder is optional available)
TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Learn fundamental jumps and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills.
Review the User's Manual to learn about how to do basic jumps.
Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline mat (bed).
Avoid jumping too high or for too long. Always control your jump. A controlled jump is one where the take off and
land spots are the same.
Focus your eyes on the trampoline mat (bed). Failure to do so may result in a loss of balance and control.
Take turns jumping one at a time, and always have someone watch you.
Climb on and off the trampoline. Do not jump on or off. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other
objects.
For further information or additional instructional materials, contact a certified trampoline instructor.
TRAMPOLINE PLACEMENT
A minimum of 7.3 meters of overhead clearance is required. Adequate horizontal clearance must be maintained
from objects and possible hazards including electric power wiring, tree limbs, recreational structures (swing-sets,
swimming pools), and fences.
The trampoline must be placed on a level surface before use.
There must be no obstructions beneath the trampoline.
Do not place the trampoline near any other recreational devices or structures such as a swimming pool or swing-
set.
