• Hitting the frame. Stay in the center of the trampoline when jumping. Injury may result from hitting
the frame when control is lost. Be sure the frame cover is always on and the pads securely
fastened. Do not jump directly onto the frame pad.
• Loss of control. A jumper who loses control will increase his/her chance of injury. Be sure to famil-
iarize yourself with the basic jumps before doing more difficult ones. Jumps should be mastered,
performed repeatedly before moving on to the next level. To regain control and stop your jump,
bend your knees sharply as you land.
• The adult supervisor must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Foreign objects. Please make sure there is nothing sharp under and around the trampoline.
Hitting objects under the trampoline can cause injury. Jumping with a foreign object can also
increase the chances of getting injured. Be sure there is adequate clearance 8 feet above and 6
feet around the trampoline. Be careful of overhead wires, tree limbs etc.
• Bad weather. Do not use your trampoline in gusty windsor inclement weather. The bed should not
be wet.
• Poor maintenance of the trampoline. Make sure you inspect the trampoline before every use.
Check for punctures on the bed, sharp burrs on the frame, stitching that has gone bad or loose
elastic bands.
• Unlimited access. The trampoline should be covered or dis-assembled when not in use. This will
prevent unsupervised small children from using the trampoline.
Owner's& Supervisor's Role in Preventing Injuries & Responsibilities
The supervisor's role is to make sure the users know all the safety rules as well as learn the basic,
fundamental bounces. They need to enforce all the safety rules and warnings in the manual, frame
and labels. When a supervisor is not available, the trampoline may be dis-assembled or covered to
limit access. It is the supervisor's responsibility that the instruction manual with the Trampoline
Safety Tips and Enclosure Safety tips are reviewed and all jumpers are informed about the tips.
User's Role in Preventing Injuries & Responsibilities
The jumper must first learn all of the basic, fundamental bounces before attempting more difficult
ones. Low,controlled bounces are a good start before learning the basic landing positions and com-
binations. Jumpers need to understand that control is key to a successful jump.
Following the tips in the manual is important.
Contact a certified trampoline instructor for more information.
