trampoline! This will increase your chances of getting injured since these foreign
substances impair your judgments, reaction time, and overall physical coordination.
Multiple jumpers: If you have multiple jumpers (more than op person on the
trampoline at any on-time), you increase the chance of getting injured. Injuries
could occur when you fly off the trampoline, lose control, collide with the other
jumper(s), or land on the springs.

the center of the mat. This will reduce your risk of getting injured by landing on
the frame of trampoline. Always keep the frame pad covering the frame of the
trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it was not
intended to support the weight of a person.
Loss of Control: DO NOT try difficult maneuver, of any maneuver until you have
mastered it. If you do not follow these guidelines, you increase the risk of someone
getting injured.
