INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE
Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be
on the fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic

moving on to more difficult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your

while mounting or dismounting. Do not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad.
To dismount properly, move over to the side of the trampoline and place your hand onto the
frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should be assisted
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting
injured. The key to safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various
bounces. Never try to out-bounce another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline
