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.
