Safe Use Instructions
To reduce the risk of injury while using the trampoline, develop household rules such as the following:
•
Do not allow children under 6 years on the trampoline.
•
Allow only one person on the trampoline at any one time.
•
Active, competent supervision is essential—always supervise children while they are using the
trampoline.
•
Ensure any pads (where they are required) covering the frame/suspension system are securely
attached at all times.
•
Ensure the enclosure is securely attached and in good condition at all times.
•
Check the trampoline before use and ensure it is in good condition. Replace any worn or broken
parts. Use only parts that are recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Make sure that the area around, underneath and above the trampoline is clear of objects that could
interfere with the person jumping. Do not allow children, pets, toys or other play equipment to be
present under the trampoline.
•
Adults should model safe use of trampolines when children are present.
•
Wear comfortable clothing that won’t become entangled in the trampoline’s components and
become a strangulation hazard. Do not wear jewellery or drawstrings/cords that can catch on the
trampoline and create a strangulation hazard. Remove shoes as they may damage the bed and
increase the risk of injury.
•
Children should be educated by responsible adults to always climb on and off the trampoline, and
never jump or bounce off. It is dangerous practice to jump or bounce from the trampoline when
dismounting. Never use springs or suspension elements as ‘hand grips’ when getting on and off the
trampoline.
•
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
manoeuvrers. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic
fundamentals in various series and combinations, or performing one fundamental bounce after the
other, with or without bounces between them.
•

learn more advanced trampolining skills contact a suitable gymnastics/trampoline club.
