ADDITIONALSAFE USE INSTRUCTIONS
(a) Misuse and abuse of the trampoline and enclosure is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
(b) Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
(c) Avoid bouncing for too long. Do not bounce when tired.
(d) Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline bed.
Learn this skill before you attempt any others.
(e) Climb on and off the trampoline, do not jump. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the
trampoline to the floor or ground when dismounting, or onto the trampoline when mounting.
Always use two hands on the frame getting on and off the trampoline. Never use springs or
suspension elements as “hand grips”.
(f) 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, or performing one fundamental after the other, with or without
bounces between them.
(g) Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the
centre of the trampoline.
(h) Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects. Use the trampoline only for
trampoline style bouncing.
(i) Keep objects away that could interfere with the person jumping.
(j) For further information or additional instructional materials, contact your nearest trampoline club.
(k) It is advisable not to bounce immediately after a meal.
(l) Do not attempt knee drops as these can cause injury if you attempt this skill without some
experience or personal instruction.
(m) Your clothing should allow plenty of body freedom, but no flapping shirts or skirts to distract
your concentration.
(n) No buckles or jewellery should be worn, as these could damage the trampoline mat and cause
injury to you.
(o) Do not wear shoes while bouncing on the trampoline.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRAMPOLINE
Always bounce at the centre of the mat Bouncing near the edge of the mat can lead to injury and
can also stretch the springs. The frame pad is not designed nor intended to support the weight of
the trampoline user. Do not step or jump directly onto the frame pad.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land consistently in the
middle of the bed.
To regain control and stop your jump, bend your knees quickly when you land.
Allow each jumper a brief turn on the trampoline. Extended bouncing exposes an over tired user

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 5
to an increased risk of injury. Longer turns tend to lessen the interest of others waiting to jump.
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The trampoline mat is several feet from the ground. Jumping off the trampoline to the ground or
any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof, deck, or other
object also represents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting up on or
down from the trampoline. Mounting and dismounting properly should be a strict rule from the
very beginning. Users should climb onto the trampoline by placing their hands on the frame and
stepping or rolling up onto the frame, across the springs, and onto the mat. Do not step directly
on the frame pad or grasp the frame pad when mounting or dismounting the trampoline. Users
should always place their hands on the frame while mounting or dismounting. To dismount,
jumpers should walk to the side of the mat, bend over and place one hand on the frame, then step
from the mat to the ground.
Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while jumping or getting
on or off the trampoline. Stay in the centre of the trampoline mat when jumping. BE SURE TO
KEEP THE FRAME PAD IN PLACE TO COVER THE FRAME ATALL TIMES. Do not step or
jump directly onto the frame pad as it is not designed nor intended to support the weight of the
user.
FUNDAMENTALTRAMPOLINE SKILLS
BASIC SKILLS - Bouncing
The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control in the centre of
the bed. The basic bounce should always being low. High, reckless bouncing should never be
allowed.
The Stop Bounce
This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is achieved by keeping
the feet in contact with the bed, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the knees and
waist. This skill should be the first skill learnt and should be employed whenever you feel out
of balance, or land away from the center area.
To learn the stop bounce:
(a) Stand in centre of the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
(b) Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and controlled.
(c) Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing in order to keep
your balance.
(d) Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the bed.

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 6
ArmAction
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go up
to a set position about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced
position until you start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again as
you bounce up (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Arm Action
Bounce variations
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show three variations, the tuck, the pike, and the straddle pike respectively. These
should be assumed at the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing position on your feet.

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 7
Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. Make sure that your toes are pointed
and fingers are straight.
These are simple variations to the basic bounce and are very important for gaining experience in
coordinated movement.
BASIC LANDING POSITIONS
General
Positions for all drops: seat, hands and knees, and front, should first be practiced on the ground, then
in a stationary position, and only the on the trampoline bed.
Drops should be performed after “Priming” the trampoline bed. Priming is done by bending your
knees and pushing down repeatedly on the trampoline bed, thereby setting the bed in motion. The feet
stay in contact with the bed during the entire priming motion.
The seat drop
To learn the seat drop:
(a) From the standing position, prime the bed several times.
(b) Pick up your feet at the top of the last bounce, and sit down. You should land so that your body is
in a sitting position with legs straight out in front and your toes pointed. Hands should be on the
bed next to your hips. Fingers should be together and pointed toward the toes.
(c) Push on the bed with your hands to rebound up to your feet (see Figure 5).
Figure 5 Seat Drop
The Hands and Knees Drop
To do this drop properly, there should be just as much weight on your hands as on your knees. Your
back should be about approximately parallel to the bed. Knees and hands should land simultaneously,
with the middle of the body landing in the centre of the trampoline. Hands should be directly under the
shoulders. Knees should be directly under the hips. Your toes should be pointed.

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 8
To learn the hands and knees drop:
(a) Get down on your hands and knees on the bed. Make sure you have weight on both your hands
and your knees. Do not sit on your heels.
(b) Remain in this position and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between the hands and
knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.
(c) From the standing position, prime the bed several times. Lift upward with your hips, reach
forward with our hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of your hands on landing.
Push to rebound to your feet (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Hands and Knees Drop
The Front Drop
Contact with the trampoline be should simultaneously take place with your hands, elbows, chest,
stomach, hips and knees. Knees should be bent.
You must come down level. If the landing is made first on your chest and arms, they will rebound
before your knees hit which will result in a straining action on you back. If this type of landing is made
with a traveling, diving approach there is a chance that your elbows may become skinned. If the
landing is made so that your knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and your shoulders and
face will land heavily.
Step 1:
(a) Start from the hands and knees drop position.
(b) As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your stomach. From this
position, rebound to your hands and knees.
Step 2:
(a) Start from a standing position with knees bent so that your upper body is low and close to the
trampoline bed.
(b) Prime the bed several times.
(c) Lift hips gently upward and backward.
(d) Land in contact with the bed as described in Step 1.

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 9
(e) Push with your hands to return to the feet
Step 3:
(a) Start from a straight standing position.
(b) Prime the bed several times.
(c) Perform skill as in Step 2 (see Figure 7).
Figure 7 Front Drop
SERIES OF DROPS
Sequencing
Once you have mastered the individual bounce variations and drops, practice them in sequence. For
example: Seat drop－Hands and knees drop－Front drop, or Seat drop－Front drop-Hands and knees
drop－Seat drop.
Beginning Twisting
General
Figures 8, 9 and 10 will show you a few of the many possible twisting variation of the basic landing
positions.
Seat drop － Half twist － Seat drop(AKA: Swivel hips)
Step 1:
(a) Perform a seat drop.
(b) Push down on the bed with your hands and come to a stand with the arms stretched overhead.
Step 2:
(a) Perform the movement in Step1. As you rebound up to your feet, move one shoulder in the
direction you want to twist.
(b) Finish standing with arms stretched overhead, facing the opposite direction (180 degree twist
completed).
Step 3:
Perform as in Step 2. Just before contacting feet with the trampoline bed, lift your legs to land in a
sitting position (see Figure 8).

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 10
Figure 8 Seat Drop—Half Twist—Seat Drop
Front drop － Half twist － Front Drop(AKA: Turntable)
Step 1:
(a) Begin in a hands and knees position, with hands forming the apex of a triangle, like in front drop.
(b) Prime the bed in this position.
(c) Push backward with your hands and extend your body to land in the front drop position.
(d) Repeat several times in succession: Hands and knees drop-Front drop-Hands and knees drop-etc.
Step 2:
Perform the movement as in Step 1. However, do it at twice the speed so as to bring your knees inward,
under your hips and out again without touching your knees on the bed.
Step 3:
Perform the movement as in Step 2. Push sideways on the trampoline bed so your body rotates.
Step 4:
From a standing position, prime the bed, then perform a front drop. Push sideway, as in Step 3, and
complete a 180 degree turn, finishing in a front drop facing the opposite position (see Figure 9).
Figure 9 Front Drop—Half Twist—Front Drop
Seat drop － Full twist － Seat drop (Full barrel roll)

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 11
Perform this as you would a half barrel roll but keep moving your shoulder in the direction of the twist
so that you finish in the seat drop position.
During the twist, hands should be placed by your sides, with your body held straight (see Figure 10).
Figure 10 Seat Drop—Full Twist—Seat Drop
Additional Twisting
You can combine a twist with each of the basic landing positions. You can twist after the landing
position.
Example: Seat drop － 1/2 twist － feet
You can add more twists. Remember to practice and perfect the smaller twists before moving on to
larger twists.
You can also perform a series of twists.
Example: Swivel hips－perform several in a row, all twisting in one direction, or alternating
directions.
JUMPERS’ROLE IN PREVENTINGACCIDENTS
Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must first learn a low controlled
bounce and the basic landing positions and combinations before proceeding to intermediate skills.
Jumpers must understand why they have to master “control”before they can start thinking about
other moves. Understanding the proper progression of skills in jumping on a trampoline must
be the first lesson.

©ACTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT PTY LIMITED –www.actionsports.com.au Page: 12
SUPERVISORS’ROLE IN PREVENTINGACCIDENTS
It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and
mature supervision. They need to know and enforce all the rules and warnings set forth in this
manual in order to minimise the likelihood of accidents and injuries and to inform users of these
rules. When supervision is unavailable or inadequate, this may require that the trampoline be
disassembled, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against unauthorized use. It is the
responsibility of the supervisor(s) to be sure that the users are fully aware of the safety guidelines
which are printed on the pads.
These instructions are issued in the interest of child safety, and we ask you to follow our advice.
