TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INFORMATION

In trampoline use, as in all active recreational sports,participants can be injured. However, there are stepsthat can be taken to reduce the risk of injury. In thissection, primary accident patterns are identified andthe responsibilities of supervisors and jumpers in acci-dent prevention are described.

ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION

Somersaults (flips): Landing on your head or neck,even in the middle of the trampoline bed, increasesthe risk of a broken back or neck, which can result inparalysis or death. Such events can occur when ajumper makes an error trying to perform a forward orbackward somersault (flip). Do not perform somer-saults (flips) on this backyard trampoline.

Multiple Jumpers: More than one jumper on thetrampoline increases the chance of a jumper becom-ing injured by losing control of his or her jump.Jumpers may collide with one another, fall off thetrampoline, fall on or through the springs, or landincorrectly on the bed. The lightest weight jumper isthe jumper most likely to be injured.

Mounting and Dismounting: The trampoline bed isseveral feet from ground level. Jumping off the tram-poline to the ground or any other surface may resultin injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof,deck, or other object also represents a risk of injury.Smaller children may need assistance getting onto ordown from the trampoline. Climb carefully onto and offthe trampoline. Do not step onto the springs or theframe pad. Do not grasp the frame pad to pull your-self onto the trampoline.

Striking the Frame or the Springs: Injury may resultfrom encountering the frame or falling through thesprings while jumping or getting onto or off the tram-poline. Stay in the center of the bed when jumping.Make sure to keep the frame pad in place to coverthe frame. The frame pad is not designed nor intend-ed to support the weight of the trampoline user. Donot step or jump directly onto the frame pad.

Loss of Control: Jumpers who lose control of theirjump may land on the bed incorrectly, land on theframe or springs, or fall off the trampoline. A controlledjump is one where the landing is in the same spot asthe takeoff. Before learning a more difficult maneuver,the preceding one should be performed consistentlyunder control. Attempting a maneuver beyond presentskill levels increases the chance of loss of control. Toregain control and stop your jump, bend your kneessharply when you land.

Alcohol or Drug Use: The chance of injury increaseswhen a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs.These substances impair a person’s reaction time,judgment, and physical coordination.

Encountering Objects: Use of a trampoline whileother people, pets, or objects are underneath it willincrease the chance of injury. Jumping while holdingor having an object on the trampoline, particularly onethat is sharp or breakable, will increase the chance ofinjury. Placing a trampoline too close to overheadelectrical wires, tree limbs, or other obstructions canincrease the chance of injury.

Poor Maintenance of the Trampoline: Jumpers maybe injured if a trampoline is used when it is in poorcondition. A torn bed, bent frame, broken spring, ormissing frame pad, for example, should be replacedbefore anyone is allowed to jump. Inspect the trampo-line before each use.

Weather Conditions : A wet trampoline bed is tooslippery for safe jumping. Gusty or high winds cancause jumpers to lose control. To reduce the chanceof injury, use the trampoline only under appropriateweather conditions.

Access: To prevent access to the trampoline byunsupervised smaller children, the access laddershould always be removed and stored in a securelocation when the trampoline is not in use.

METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION

The Supervisor’s Role in Preventing Accidents

It is the responsibility of the supervisors of trampolineusers to provide knowledgeable and mature supervi-sion. They need to know and enforce all the rules andwarnings set forth in this manual to minimize the likeli-hood of accidents and injuries and to inform users ofthese rules. During periods of time when supervisionis unavailable or inadequate, this may require that thetrampoline be disassembled, placed in a secure area,or otherwise secured against unauthorized use.Another option that may be considered is covering thetrampoline with a heavy tarp that can be secured withlocks and chains. It is the responsibility of the supervi-sor to make sure that the placard with TRAMPOLINESAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (see step 7 on page 18) iskept posted on the trampoline and that jumpers areinformed about these instructions.

The Jumper’s Role in Preventing Accidents

Education on the part of the user is a must for safety.Users must first learn a low, controlled bounce andthen learn the basic landing positions and combina-tions before proceeding to intermediate skills.Jumpers must understand why they have to master“control” before they can start thinking about othermoves. Understanding the proper progression of skillsin jumping on a trampoline must be the first lesson.Review this manual to learn about the basic tech-niques for using the trampoline. Follow the rules onthe placard with TRAMPOLINE SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS (see step 7 on page 18). For furtherinformation or additional instructional materials, con-tact a certified trampoline instructor.

TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For the Supervisor

Read the instructions before using the trampoline.Enforce all of the safety rules and be familiar with theinformation in this manual to help new users learnbasic jumps and all users follow trampoline safety. Alltrampoline users must have mature, knowledgeablesupervision, regardless of the skill or age of thejumper.

This trampoline is not recommended for use by chil-dren under 6 years of age.

Inspect the trampoline before using it. Do not use thetrampoline without the frame pad securely in place tocover the frame. Do not use the trampoline when it iswet or in a windy condition. A worn or damaged bed,spring, or frame piece should be replaced immediately.

Keep objects away that could interfere with thejumper.

Secure the trampoline against unauthorized andunsupervised use.

For the Jumper

Do not use the trampoline when under the influenceof drugs or alcohol.

Avoid bouncing when tired.

JUMPING

Learn fundamental jumps and body positions thor-oughly before trying more advanced skills. Be alert toyour own limitations in the execution of trampolineskills. Review this manual to learn how to do basicjumps.

Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feetcome in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn thisskill before attempting others.

Avoid jumping too high or for too long. Always controlyour jump. A controlled jump is one where the takeoffand landing spots are the same.

Bounce in the center of the trampoline. Focus youreyes on the frame pad. Failure to do so may result ina loss of balance and control.

Take turns jumping, one at a time, and always havesomeone watch you.

GETTING ON AND OFF

Climb onto and off the trampoline; do not jump onto itor off it. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard toother objects.

For additional information regard-ing skill training, contact a trainer certification organi-zation.

TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE SAFETY INFORMATION

NEED FOR TRAMPOLINE ENCLOSURE SAFETY

A trampoline enclosure is a recreational product.

The information on this page and on page 10 identifiesimportant safety precautions. The precautions are notall-inclusive, because an enclosure can be used inways that this manual cannot cover completely.

To prevent pinches and cuts during enclosure use, aframe pad must be installed on the trampoline. (Seethe trampoline manufacturer’s instructions.) The framepad must be installed before the enclosure is erected.The frame pad reduces the chance of injury from acci-dental contact with the springs and frame.

USING THE ENCLOSURE SAFELY

Adult Supervision of Children

Children using a trampoline with a trampoline enclo-sure must be supervised by adults. Young childrenmust be supervised constantly. Adults must pay par-ticular attention to:

• things that children bring into the enclosure.• children’s activities inside the enclosure.• conditions inside the enclosure while children are

using it.• the way children get into and out of the enclosure.

Additional details of safe enclosure use are describedbelow.

Electrocution Hazard Associated with the MetalFrame of the Trampoline and Enclosure

The trampoline and enclosure frames are made ofmetal. They are not grounded, and they will conduct

electricity. Lights, electric heaters, extension cords,and household electrical appliances are not permittedin or on the trampoline or enclosure.

Hazards Associated with Entering and Exiting theTrampoline Enclosure

A trampoline enclosure installed on a trampoline israised off the ground. The height of the enclosureincreases the risk of a fall when a jumper is enteringor exiting the enclosure. Young children in particularmay have difficulty getting into and out of the enclo-sure. To reduce the risk of falling, help young childrento get into and out of the enclosure.

Enter and exit the trampoline enclosure only throughthe door of the enclosure (the opening in the nettingwalls). The trampoline bed and the netting walls of theenclosure are separate pieces; jumpers, particularlyyoung children, must not exit the enclosure by goingout between the bed and the netting walls. Trying toexit in this way poses a risk of strangulation frombeing caught between the trampoline frame and thenetting walls.

Darkness increases the chances of a fall when ajumper is entering or exiting the enclosure. Do not usethe trampoline unless adequate lighting is provided.

Hazards Associated with Animals and Sharp andBreakable Objects

To avoid damage to the trampoline enclosure and thetrampoline, do not allow pets or other animals insideof the enclosure. The claws and teeth of animals candamage the netting. Do not jump on the trampolinewhile holding or wearing a sharp or breakable object.

Page 10: USER’S MANUAL . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 · getting onto or off the trampoline or while jumping. Stay in the center of the bed when jumping. Do not use the trampoline without the

10

Hazards Associated with High Winds

A trampoline with an enclosure can be moved orblown over by high winds, potentially injuring anyonein its path or anyone inside of the enclosure. If youanticipate high winds, take down the enclosure net-ting, and stake the trampoline frame to the ground(see page 21), or move the trampoline and enclosureto a sheltered location.

Storing the Trampoline Enclosure Safely

Specific steps for storing the trampoline enclosure arepresented later in this manual. There are specificsafety precautions to be aware of when storing theenclosure.

Remove the attached tube sections as a unit, andseparate them on the ground. Avoid pinching your fin-gers by keeping your fingers away from pinch pointsnear the bracket assembly while you are removing thetubes from the frame.

Placing the Trampoline in a Safe Place

There must be at least 24ft (7.3 m.) of clear, openspace above the trampoline bed. Do not place orstore anything underneath the trampoline.

To avoid injury, the trampoline must be kept awayfrom objects and possible hazards including electricpower wiring, tree limbs, and fences. Do not place thetrampoline near any other recreational devices orstructures such as a swimming pool or swing set.

The trampoline must be placed on a level surfacebefore use, and the area around the trampoline mustalways be well lighted.

For the Supervisor

Be familiar with the information in this manual andenforce all of the safety rules. Help new users and allusers to use the trampoline and enclosure safely.

All trampoline users must have someone watch them,regardless of the skill or age of the user.

Secure the trampoline against unauthorized andunsupervised use. Keep the trampoline free of objectsthat could interfere with the jumper.

This trampoline enclosure is not recommended foruse by children under 6 years of age or by anyoneweighing more than 110 lbs (50 kg).

Use the trampoline only when the bed is clean anddry. Inspect the trampoline and enclosure prior toeach use and replace any worn or damaged parts.Use only when the enclosure netting has no holes,the clamps are tightly secured to the tubes and theframe, and the netting is properly suspended.

For the Jumper

Do not attempt to jump over the netting. Do not inten-tionally rebound off the netting. Do not hang from,kick, cut, or climb on the netting.

Wear clothing that is free of drawstrings, hooks, loopsor anything that could get caught in the netting.

Do not attach anything to the netting that is not aBazoongi approved accessory or part of the tram-poline enclosure.

How to Enter and Exit the Trampoline Enclosure

Enter and exit the trampoline enclosure only throughthe door in the netting. To enter the enclosure, firstunfasten the plastic clips on the door and unzip thezippers. Place one knee on the frame pad and climbhead first through the door. Refasten the plastic clipsand close the zippers.

To exit the enclosure, first unzip the zippers on thedoor and unfasten the plastic clips. Sit on the bed ofthe trampoline and climb feet first through the door.When you are through the door and sitting on theframe pad, step or jump safely to the ground. Closethe zippers and refasten the plastic clips.

USE AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL

OVERVIEW OF TRAMPOLINE USE

The first periods of trampoline use should focus onlearning fundamental body positions and practicingthe eight basic bounces that are described onpages 13 and 14 in this manual.

During this learning period, jumpers should practisethese basic techniques and perfect them. Braking,or checking the bounce, should be taught first andstressed as a safety measure. Jumpers should braketheir jump whenever they start to lose balance or con-trol. This is done by simply flexing the kneessharply upon landing and absorbing the upwardthrust of the bed. This enables the jumper to stopsuddenly and avoid losing control.

In trampoline use, the takeoff point and landingpoint of a good, controlled jump are in the samespot. An exercise is considered learned only when ajumper is able to perform it consistently. Jumpersshould never proceed to any advanced step until theycan perform all previous techniques consistently.

Allow each jumper a brief turn on the trampoline.Extended bouncing exposes an overtired user to anincreased risk of injury. Longer turns tend to lessenthe interest of others waiting to jump. Clothing shouldconsist of a T-shirt and shorts. Jumpers should wearregulation gymnastic shoes or heavy socks, or theymay jump barefoot. Street shoes or tennis shoes

should not be worn on the trampoline. Beginningjumpers may wish to wear loose-fitting protectiveclothes, such as a long-sleeve shirt and pants, untilcorrect landings are mastered. This will reduce thechance of mat (bed) burns from improper landings onelbows and knees. No hard-sole shoes should beworn, as they cause excessive wear on the trampo-line bed.

Mounting and dismounting properly should be astrict rule from the beginning. Users should climb ontothe trampoline by placing their hands on the frameand stepping or rolling up onto the frame, across thesprings, and onto the bed. Do not step directly ontothe frame pad or grasp the frame pad when mountingor dismounting the trampoline. Users should alwaysplace their hands on the frame while mounting or dis-mounting. To dismount, jumpers should walk to theside of the bed, bend over and place one hand on theframe, and then step from the bed to the ground. Ifyou have installed the optional ladder, its rungs canbe used to mount or dismount. Always face the ladderand place your hands on the frame. Make sure yourfoot has secure contact with the ladder rung whenusing it.

Reckless bouncing should not be permitted. All skillsshould be learned at moderate heights. Control,rather than height, should be emphasized. Jumpersshould be forbidden to practice alone and unsuper-vised.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM AND MODELLESSONS

The following lessons are examples of an instructionalprogram. They should follow a complete discussionand demonstration of body mechanics between thesupervisor and the student(s). See pages 13 and 14for descriptions of basic trampoline skills.

Lesson 1

1. Mounting and dismounting—Demonstration andpractice of proper techniques.

2. Fundamental bounce—Demonstration and practice.

3. Braking (checking the bounce)—Demonstration andpractice. Braking on command.

4. Hand and knee drop—Demonstration and practice,stressing four-point landing and alignment.

Lesson 2

1. Review and practice of skills previously learned.

2. Knee drop—Half twist to the right, to the left, to thefeet, and then to the knees.

3. Seat drop—Half twist to the feet. Seat drop, kneedrop, hand and knee drop, repeat.

Lesson 3

1. Review and practice of skills previously learned.

2. Front drop—To save time and avoid mat (bed)burns, all students should be requested to assumethe front drop position on the floor while the instruc-tor checks for faults. Suggested progression: fromhand and knee bounce, the body is extended forthe landing in the front drop position, and therebound is made to the feet.

3. Practice routine—Hand and knee drop, front drop,feet, seat drop, half twist to feet.

Lesson 4

1. Review and practice of skills previously learned.

2. Back drop—Demonstration, emphasizing the for-ward thrust of the hips by arching the body as one

leg is brought forward from the standing (notbouncing) position, and the drop to the back withthe chin held forward to the chest and the eyes for-ward on the frame pad. Spotting this skill is mostimportant. Demonstration of back drop with lowbounce and practice of both techniques.

Lesson 5

1. Review and practice of skills previously learned,encouraging original routines based on them.

2. Half turntable—Start from the front drop positionand push to the left or right with the hands. Turnthe head and shoulders in the same direction.Keep the back parallel to the bed and the head up.After completing a half turn, land in the front dropposition.

Lesson 6

1. Swivel hips—Suggested progression: seat drop,feet, half twist, repeat; seat drop, half twist to feet,repeat; seat drop, half twist to seat drop.

2. Half turntable.

Lesson 7

The student should now be encouraged to design andorganize routines, with emphasis on good form. Theinstructor may judge or grade students and arrangegroupings for further instruction accordingly.

To stimulate interest in competition, the game of“Trampoline Horse” can be introduced. Before thegame begins, students must count off. To start thegame, student number 1 performs a stunt. Studentnumber 2 then mounts the trampoline and performsthe same stunt and adds a second stunt. Studentnumber 3 mounts and performs stunts 1 and 2 andadds a third stunt. Thus, the series of stunts is contin-uously lengthened. The first person to miss a stunt inthe series assumes the letter “H” and starts a newseries with a stunt. If a person misses again, heassumes the letter “O.” The first person to accumulate“H-O-R-S-E” is eliminated from the game. The lastremaining contestant is the winner.

Lesson planning from this point should be facilitatedby contacting a certified trampoline instructor.
