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:
a. 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.
b. Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery and make landing less
sure.
c. Enclosure systems are designed to prevent users falling off the trampoline. Do not
allow users to intentionally bounce toward or off the barrier, as this can unbalance the
trampoline and continual impact may damage the enclosure.
d. 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.
e. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only
for trampoline style bouncing.
f. Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
g. 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.
h. Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly
land in the centre of the trampoline.
i. Do not bounce immediately after a meal.
