head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death, even when landing
in the middle of the bed. (7.5.1.1)

more than one person at the same time can result in serious injuries (7.5.1.2)

(7.5.1.3)
Trampolines over 20 inch (51cm) tall are not recommended for children under

Inspect the trampoline before each use. Make sure the frame padding is
correctly and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing
parts. (7.5.1.5)

bed. Learn this skill before attempting others. (7.5.1.7)

advanced skills. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by
performing the basic fundamentals in various series and combinations,
performing one fundamental after another, with or without feet bounces
between them. (7.5.1.8)
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing
in the center of the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more
