previous manoeuvre, or if you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase your
risk of getting injured by landing on the frame or off the trampoline completely because you might lose control
of your jump. A controlled jump is considered landing on the same spot that you took off from. If you do lose
control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees sharply when you land and this will allow
you to regain control and stop your jump.

warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and take off from the same
