USING YOUR TRAMPOLINE - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, REMEMBER
1.
Trampolines are rebounding devices which propel the user to unaccustomed heights, and into a variety of body
movements. Rebounding off the trampoline, striking the frame or springs, or improperly landing on the trampoline
may cause injury.
2.
All purchasers and all persons using the trampoline must become familiar with the manufacturers recommendations
for the proper assembly, use and care of the trampoline. Each user must also be alert to his/her own limitations in the
execution of trampoline skills. Assembly instructions, selected precautions and suggestions for the care and
maintenance of the trampoline are included in this user's manual to promote safe, enjoyable use of this equipment.
3.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this trampoline are adequately informed of all warnings
and safety instructions.
4.
Never allow more than one (1) person on the trampoline at a time. Multiple jumpers increases the chance of
someone becoming injured. Jumpers may collide with one another, fall off the trampoline, fall on or through the
springs, or land incorrectly on the mat.
5.
Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while jumping or getting on or off the trampoline.
Stay in the centre of the trampoline mat when jumping. BE SURE TO KEEP THE FRAME PAD IN PLACE TO COVER THE
FRAME AT ALL TIMES. 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.
6.
Always secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
7.
Trampolines over 20 in. (51 cm) tall are not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age.
While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter. This will help control bounce.
For additional information concerning the trampoline equipment, contact the manufacturer.
For information concerning skill training, contact a certified trampoline instructor.
8.
Inspect the trampoline before each use and replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
The following conditions could represent potential hazards:
(1) Missing, improperly positioned, or insecurely attached frame padding,
(2) Punctures, frays, tears, or holes worn in the bed or frame padding,
(3) Deterioration in the stitching or fabric of the bed or frame padding,
(4) Ruptured springs,
(5) A bent or broken frame,
(6) A sagging bed, or sharp protrusions on the frame or suspension system.
9.
Adult supervision of children - Children should always be supervised while they are playing on the trampoline fitted
with a Bounce Surround and should be instructed not to use it in an inappropriate or hazardous manner. In particular
be aware of:
10.
Use trampoline surround only with mature, knowledgeable supervision
Do not attempt to jump over the barrier
Do not attempt to crawl under the barrier.
Do not intentionally rebound off the barrier.
Do not hang from, kick, cut or climb on the barrier.
Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught in the barrier.
Do not attach anything to the barrier that is not a manufacturer-approved accessory or part of the surround system.
Enter and exit the surround only at the surround door or barrier opening designated for that purpose.
BOUNCING
1.
Always bounce in the centre of the bed. Bouncing near the edge of the bed can lead to injury and can also
stretch the springs. 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.
2.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land consistently in the middle of the
bed.
3.
Learn basic bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. Attempting a
manoeuvre beyond present skill levels increases the chance of loss of control. A controlled jump is one where the
landing is in the same spot as the take off. Before learning a more difficult manoeuvre, the preceding one should be
performed consistently under control.
4.
Do not attempt somersaults without proper instruction and supervision. Landing on your head or neck, even in
the middle of the trampoline mat increases the risk of a broken neck, which can result in paralysis or death.
5.
To regain control and stop your jump, bend your knees sharply when you land.
6.
Do not bounce for too long or when tired.
7.
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
