TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS
Jumper
’
s role in accident prevention. The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move
onto more complicated, more difficult maneuvers until you have mastered the basic, fundamental
bounce.
Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety
precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and take
off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified trampoline
instructor.
Supervisor
’
s Role in Accident Prevention. Supervisors need to understand and enforce all safety rules
and guidelines. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance
to all jumpers of the trampoline. If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline could be
stored in a secure place, disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarp
that can be locked or secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that
the safety placard is placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and
instructions.
