Additional Twisting
You can combine a twist with each of the basic landing positions. You can twist after the landing
position.
Example: Seat drop
－
1/2 twist
－
feet
You can add more twists. Remember to practice and perfect the smaller twists before moving on to
larger twists.
You can also perform a series of twists.
Example: Swivel hips
－
perform several in a row, all twisting in one direction, or alternating
directions.
JUMPERS’ ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must first learn a low controlled
bounce and the basic landing positions and combinations before proceeding to intermediate
skills. Jumpers must understand why they have to master “control” before they can start
thinking about other moves. Understanding the proper progression of skills in jumping on a
trampoline must be the first lesson.
SUPERVISORS’ ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and
mature supervision. They need to know and enforce all the rules and warnings set forth in
this manual in order to minimise the likelihood of accidents and injuries and to inform users of
these rules. When supervision is unavailable or inadequate, this may require that the
trampoline be disassembled, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against unauthorized
use. It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) to be sure that the users are fully aware of the
safety guidelines which are printed on the pads.
These instructions are issued in the interest of child safety, and we ask you to follow our
advice.
