TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK ACCIDENTS
Jumper's role in accident prevention
The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more
difficult manoeuvres until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce.
Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety
precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and
take off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified
trampoline instructor.
Supervisor's Role in Accident Prevention
Supervisor need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility
of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline.
If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline could be stored in a secure place,
disas- sembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarpaulin that can be
locked or secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the
safety placard is placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and
instructions.
