Basic Trampolining Instructions
This trampoline is a domestic trampoline, not a gymnastics trampoline. You will get the safest and best
use from it by following these basic principles:
•
Do not attempt or allow somersaults on the trampoline. Landing on your head or neck while doing
somersaults can cause serious injury, paralysis or even death.
•
Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery and make landing less sure.
•
Do not use a trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Balance, perception and
assessment of risk will be affected and may lead to injury.
•
Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for trampoline
style bouncing.
•
Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
•
Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn
this skill before you attempt any others.
•
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the
centre of the trampoline.
•
Do not bounce immediately after a meal.
