The bounce mat must be dry. Only jump when there is no wind, or only a light breeze. The
trampoline must not be used in strong wind.
Always start by jumping of the marking in the middle of the bounce mat. If you land more than 30
cm from the marking, stop immediately. Start jumping again from the marking in the middle of the
bounce mat.
Read all the instructions before starting to jump so that you can use the trampoline safely and
thereby obtain the greatest possible benefit and pleasure from it.
Never use the trampoline if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Remove all hard and sharp objects from your pockets before using the trampoline.
Observe care and use the correct technique when getting on and off the trampoline. Never jump up
or down from the trampoline and do not use it as a springboard.
Learn to master basic jumping techniques before continuing with more advanced exercises. Read
the section on basic jumping techniques to learn the basics.
Cushion jumps and stop by bending your knees when landing.
Make sure you are always in control when jumping on the trampoline. A controlled jump is when
you jump up and land at the same place. If you feel that you are losing control, stop by bending
your knees when you land.
Jump in short sessions, and do not jump too high.
Keep your eyes on the bounce mat to achieve better control over your jumping. If you look in
another direction you can lose your balance and control.
Never allow more than one person at once to jump on the trampoline.
There must always be a person to supervise the jumping.
Learn basic jumping techniques and read all the safety instructions. Reduce the risk of personal
injury by applying all the safety instructions and make sure that beginners learn the basic jumping
techniques before they continue with more difficult and more advanced jumps.
All jumpers must be supervised, irrespective of skill and age.
Never use the trampoline when it is wet, damaged or worn. Check the trampoline each time before
using it.
Remove all objects that can disturb the jumper from the trampoline. Carefully check what is above,
below or around the trampoline.
When the trampoline is not in use it must be protected from unauthorised use.
Risk of accidents
Getting on and off
Observe care when getting on and off the trampoline.
Do not grip the frame pad and do not step on the springs when getting on the trampoline.
Do not jump onto the trampoline from the ground, a roof, or a ladder. This increases the risk of
personal injury. Never jump down from the trampoline, regardless of what the ground below looks
like. If small children are playing on the trampoline they need to be helped on and off.
Alcohol and drugs
Never use the trampoline if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this will have a
negative effect on your judgement, response and general body control
.
More than one jumper
More than one person at once jumping increases the risk of personal injury. The risk of a jumper
flying off the trampoline, losing control, knocking into other jumpers, or landing on the springs,
increases. In general it will be the lightest person on the trampoline that is exposed to the greatest
risk.
Landing on the frame or springs
Always jump in the middle of the trampoline. This reduces the risk of personal injury from landing
on the frame or springs.
Make sure that the frame pad always covers the springs.
Never walk or jump on the frame pad, it is not strong enough for this.
