METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Role of the user in preventing accidents:
A basic knowledge of
the trampoline by the user is a must for security. All users of the
trampoline must learn first how to accomplish a low controlled
jump as well as the fundamental landing positions and combina-
tions, before turning to advance jump exercises. Users must
know why they must control their jump, before they may practice
other movements. A controlled jump is when you land and take
off from the same location. The first lesson is the understanding
of the correct order in developing jumping skills on a trampoline.
For further information or exercise materials, please turn to a
trained trampoline teacher.
Role of the supervisor in preventing accidents:
It lies in the
responsibility of the supervisors to guarantee a reasonable and
experienced supervision of the users of trampoline. Rules and
warnings in this manual must be applied, and known to the users
of the trampoline in order to reduce the probability of accidents
and injuries. In times, when the supervision is not possible or
insufficient, the trampoline should be dismantled and stored in a
secured place against unauthorized use.

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:
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.
Do not use the trampoline when wet. The mat will be slippery
and make landing less sure.
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.
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.
Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects.
Use the trampoline only for trampoline style bouncing.
Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help
control your bounce.
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.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your
bounce and repeatedly land in the centre of the trampoline.
Do not bounce immediately after a meal.
