SAFE USE WARNING
Note: The warning label below is like what your trampoline will have, except the model you have
will also have the actual kg rating instead of the “X”.
BASIC TRAMPOLINING INSTRUCTIONS
This trampoline is designed primarily as a domestic trampoline; however, it can provide high
performance. It is recommended to have learnt the equivalent trampolining skill set on a full-sized
trampoline with a net prior to using this trampoline. Basic skills include mounting & dismounting,
starting, repeating and stopping a vertical bounce. To stop your bounce: flexing your knees as your
feet meet the trampoline bed. Learn this skill and each subsequent skill confidently before
advancing to the next skillset.
You will get the safest and best use from the trampoline by following these basic principles:
1.
Landing on your head or neck while doing somersaults can cause serious injury, paralysis
or even death. Do not attempt to learn somersaults or flip routines on your own. Only do
these if:
a)
you have already been trained and are competent and
b)
you are under the supervision of a trained and experienced
supervisor/coach/safety spotter.
2.
When approaching the trampoline focus your eyes on the centre of the trampoline bed as
landing in the centre will help control your bounce.
3.
Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery and make landing less safe.
4.
Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Balance, perception
and assessment of risk will be affected and may lead to injury.
5.
Do not use the trampoline as a springboard onto or into another object e.g. another nearby
trampoline, swimming pool, etc. Use the trampoline only for trampoline style bouncing.
6.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in
the centre of the trampoline.
7.
Do not bounce immediately after a meal.
