Initially, you should get accustomed to your trampoline and understand how much spring is in
each bounce.
The focus at this point should be your body position and technique until you can perform each
jump with ease and control.
Before you try to jump too high, the technique for stopping should be learnt as this will help
prevent injuries should you feel you are jumping out of control.
AS THE USER LANDS ON THE BED KNEES SHOULD BE BENT SO THAT THEY STOP
AND ABSORB THE SPRING IN THE MAT. The position is shown in the image to the left.
Arms are held out for increased level of balance.
Keep your head straight and have the edge of the jumping area in sight.
Always control the jump by taking off and landing in the middle of the trampoline. Do not jump
onto the edge (especially the frame and the springs), it is not meant to support your weight.
Do not perform somersaults of any type (backwards or forwards) on this trampoline. If you
make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault, you could land on your head or neck.
This will increase your chances of your neck or back being broken, which could result in death
or paralysis.
NEVER TRY TO JUMP ONTO THE TRAMPOLINE SO THAT ANOTHER USER COULD BE
PROPELLED HIGHER.
Do not jump for too long a time, until you’re fatigued. You’ll only increase the risk of an injury.
