• Never use the trampoline when it is wet, damaged, dirty, or worn. The trampoline
should always be inspected for signs of wear before use.
• Keep all objects that could interfere with the jumper away from the trampoline.
Be aware of what is overhead, underneath, and around the trampoline.
• To prevent unsupervised and unauthorized use, the trampoline should be secured
when not in use.
General Safety
Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can
increase your chances of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and
then allow others to join in on the fun! Never have more than one person bouncing
on the trampoline.
Jumpers should wear t-shirt, shorts or sweats, and regulation gymnastics shoes,
heavy socks, or be barefoot. If you are just beginning, you may want to wear long
sleeve shirts and pants to protect against scrapes and abrasions until you master
correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole shoes, such as tennis
shoes, on the trampoline as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material.
You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount
properly, you should PLACE your hand on the frame and either step or roll up
onto the frame, over the springs, and onto the trampoline mat. You should always
remember to place your hands onto the frame while mounting or dismounting.
Do not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad. To dismount
properly, move over to the side of the trampoline and place your hand onto the
frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should be
assisted when mounting and dismounting the trampoline.
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of
getting injured. The key to safety and having fun on the trampoline is controlling
and mastering the various bounces. Never try to out-bounce another bouncer in
terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone without supervision.
TRAMPOLINE PLACEMENT

of horizontal clearance, please ensure that no hazardous objects are near the
trampoline such as tree limbs, other recreational objects (i.e. swing sets, swimming
pools), electrical power wiring, walls, fences, etc. For safe use of the trampoline,
please be aware of the following when selecting a place for your trampoline:
• The trampoline MUST be placed on a level surface for use.
• The area should be well-lit.
• Make sure there are no obstructions beneath, above or around the trampoline.
ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
