3 Safe Use 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:
•
Read all instructions before using this trampoline.
•
Only allow one person on the trampoline at any time. Use by more than one person at the same
time can result in serious injury.
•
Use the trampoline and enclosure only with mature, knowledgeable supervision at all times.
•
Inspect the trampoline and enclosure before each use. Make sure the frame padding is correctly
and securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
•
Keep objects away which could interfere with the user. Maintain a clear area around, above, and
under the trampoline.
•
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skilled.
•
Misuse and abuse of the trampoline and enclosure is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
•
Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
•
Avoid bouncing for too long. Do not bounce when tired.
•
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.
•
Climb on and off the trampoline, do not jump. It is dangerous to jump from the trampoline to the
floor or ground when dismounting, or onto the trampoline when mounting. Always use two hands on
the frame getting on and off the trampoline. Never use springs or suspension elements as “hand
grips”.
•
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A
variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic fundamentals in various
series and combinations, or performing one fundamental after the other, with or without bounces
between them.
•
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the
centre of the trampoline.
•
Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for trampoline
style bouncing.
•
Keep objects away that could interfere with the person jumping.
•
It is advisable not to bounce immediately after a meal.
•
Do not attempt knee drops as these can cause injury if you attempt this skill without some
experience or personal instruction.
•
Your clothing should allow plenty of body freedom, but no flapping shirts or skirts to distract your
concentration.
•
No buckles or jewellery should be worn, as these could damage the trampoline mat and cause
injury to you.
•
Do not wear shoes while bouncing on the trampoline.
