INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL
AND RULES FOR USE
Warning
1. DO NOT attempt or allow somersaults. Landing
on the head or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis, or death, even when landing in the
middle of the bed.
2. Do not allow more than one person on the
trampoline. Use by more than one person at the
same time can result in serious injuries.
3.
Use
trampoline
only
with
mature,
knowledgeable supervision.
4. Inspect the trampoline and trampoline enclosure
before each use. Make sure the barrier and the
enclosure support (frame) and frame padding is
correctly and securely positioned. Replace any
worn, defective, or missing parts.
5. Users may become entangled in or strangled by
loose cords or in gaps between trampoline and
enclosure.
6. Keep enclosure tightly fastened to the
trampoline in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Failure to properly assemble and
maintain a tight, secure trampoline/ enclosure
boundary
may
result
in
serious
injury,
strangulation, or death.
7. Do not attempt to jump over the barrier.
8. Do not attempt to crawl under the barrier.
9. Do not intentionally rebound off the barrier.
10. Do not hang from, kick, cut, or climb on the
barrier.
11. Wear clothing free of drawstrings, hooks,
loops, or anything that could get caught while
using the trampoline/enclosure and result in
entanglement or strangulation, or both.
12. Do not attach anything to the barrier that is not
a manufacturer-approved accessory or part of the
enclosure system.
12. Enter and exit the enclosure only at the
enclosure door or barrier opening designated for
that purpose.
14. Climb on and off the trampoline. It is a
dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to
the floor or ground when dismounting, or to jump
onto the trampoline when mounting. Do not use
the trampoline as a springboard to other objects.
15. Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come in
contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill
before attempting others.
16. 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,
performing
one
fundamental after another, with or without feet
bounces between them.
17. Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until
bounce control and repeated landing in the center
of the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is
more important than height.
18. While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on
the trampoline toward the perimeter. This will help
control bounce.
19. Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.

use. Protect it against unauthorized use.

gentle. The trampoline must not be used in gusty
or severe winds.

and instructions for the care, maintenance, and use
of this trampoline and trampoline enclosure are
