the jump if you feel that you are losing control.

giving advice and instructing anyone who uses the trampoline. If there is no-one
who can keep watch over the people jumping, the trampoline must be stored in a
sheltered place, disassembled to prevent unauthorised use or covered over with a
tarpaulin.
The person in charge is also responsible for making sure that the safety sign is
attached to the trampoline and for giving safety instructions to anyone who jumps on
the trampoline.
• Someone must always be watching a person who is jumping, no matter how old or
experienced they are.
• Do not use the trampoline if it is wet, damaged, dirty or worn. Check the trampoline
before you use it.
• Make sure that any objects that could get in the way of the person jumping are kept
away from the trampoline. Check what is above, under and around the trampoline.
• Make sure that the trampoline cannot be used by anyone who is unauthorised to do
so, or if no-one is there to keep watch.
