5. Jumping instructions

5.1 Before you start jumping

• Objects, animals or persons are prohibited underneath the BERG trampoline.
• Only use the BERG trampoline when it is clean and dry.
• Objects and other obstacles that can interfere with jumping should be prohibited from the
jumping area.
5.2 Jumping instructions
• Proper movement while using the BERG trampoline requires good posture. Correct posture
and balance are achieved by tensing the muscles.
• Good posture ensures safe usage of the BERG trampoline. When jumping, the body is exposed
to shocks that require correct absorption. By tensing your muscles, you obtain better control
over your balance and this results in more the jumping resilience. In contrast, a more relaxed
posture leads to loss of energy and jumping resilience. Begin with the basic jumps and
jumping positions and only increase comlexity when mastered. To come to a stop position
when jumping, bend knees when your feet touch the mat.
• Always jump in the middle of the mat. Avoid jumping on mat edge and trampoline padding.
• To come to a stop position when jumping, bend and flex knees when your feet touch the mat.
Learn this skill before attempting others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
skills. A variety of jumping techniques can be carried out solo or in series and/or combinations
between bounces.
• Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping control with proper landing position in middle
of mat. From a safety perspective, control is more important than height.
• To ensure and maintain control while jumping, ensure jumping posture is straight, head is in
upright position and eyes are focused on the jump mat.
• Movements that cause considerable friction (such as a "sliding" action) on the printing on
the jumping mat or the padding are not recommended. Heavy friction when sliding over
the printing on the jumping mat or the padding could result in the ink rubbing off onto skin
or clothing. It may be difficult to remove the ink from clothing. The ink meets the stringent
chemical requirements imposed on toy products, therefore contact with the skin or ingestion
of this ink has no harmful effects on human health.
