trampoline o the ground. The trampoline must be carried hori-
zontally, and if the frame shifts position use four people to draw
the trampoline in shape.
- Trampolines are jumping devices enabling the user to jump
to unusual heights as well as into a multiplicity of body move-
ments. Jumping into the trampoline, hitting the frame, cover
pads or incorrect landing on the trampoline can lead to injury.
- Users should be familiar with the user manual. This manu-
al contains assembly instructions, selected precautionary mea-
sures as well as recommendations for servicing and mainte-
nance of the trampoline in order to ensure a secured and fun
use of the trampoline.
- It is the responsibility of the owner of the supervisor to guaran-
tee that all users of the trampoline are informed about the pre-
cautions.
- Never use it near water and keep sucient space around it as a
safety precaution.
- Beware of moving parts which could catch your arms and legs.
- Do not stick any foreign objects in to the trampoline.
- Do not allow anyone or any object to go under the trampo-
line whilst someone is jumping on the mat. The jumping mat is
exible and downwards force created by someone jumping can
cause serious injury to a person.
- Implement all safety rules and make yourselves familiar with
the information in the user`s manual
- The trampoline can be only used if the jumping mat is clean
and dry. Worn or damaged jumping mats should immediately
be replaced.
- Objects which could be dangerous to the user should be re-
moved from the area
- Avoid unauthorized and unsupervised use of the trampoline.
- Do not use the trampoline under inuence of alcohol or drugs
.
- Learn the fundamental jumping techniques thoroughly be-
fore trying dicult jumps. For more information see paragraph
“bouncing techniques”.
- Climb on the trampoline and do not jump on it directly. Do not
use the trampoline as jump board for other items. For more in-
formation, see paragraph“possible accident causes: Ascending
and Descending”.
Possible accident causes
Somersaults: Somersaults must be avoided. Incorrect landings
on the trampoline can lead to injuries, particularly to the back,
neck or head, including paralysis or even death. The user can
also be injured by landing on the trampoline in an uncontrolled
manner.
Multiple users: The risk of injuries is raised if several persons
jump on the trampoline simultaneously and lose control of their
bounces. The jumper can collide with each other, land improp-
erly or fall o the trampoline. Usually, the smallest or lightest
person is injured rather than a taller or heavier person.
Ascending and descending: Always ascend and descend care-
fully. Do not pull yourselves at the protection mat, do not march
on the springs and do not jump on the trampoline from any
higher place such as ladder, roof or terrace. Do not jump o the
trampoline regardless of the nature of the ground around the
trampoline. Small children possible need help with ascending
and descending the trampoline. Always hold on the frame when
descending from the trampoline. Do not stand on the protec-
tion mat. When descending the trampoline move to the rim
of the bounce mat, bend forward and hold on the frame. Then
step on the ground or ladder.
Frame and springs: When bouncing on the trampoline keep to
the center of the bounce mat in order to reduce the risk to be
injured by landing on the frame or the springs. The springs and
the frame must always be completely covered by the protection
mat. Avoid to step on the protection mat as it is not designed to
be stepped on.
Loss of control: Loosing control of the bounce can result in in-
juries by a improper landing on the bounce mat, the frame or
the springs or by falling o the trampoline. A controlled bounce
is characterized by the fact the person lands on the same place
as he or she had jumped o. Learn the fundamental jumping
techniques thoroughly before trying dicult jumps. The risk of
injury is increased by fatigue of the person jumping or by ef-
fecting a bounce which is beyond the persons bouncing abili-
ty. Control can be regained by pulling the knees completely to-
wards the body while landing.
Drugs and alcohol: The risk of injury is increased under the in-
uence of drugs and alcohol, as these substances will impair the
reaction time, the judgement, the stereoscopic vision, the over-
all coordination and the motor function of a person.
Foreign objects: Do not use the trampoline if there are pets,
other persons or objects beneath the trampoline. Do not hold
any objects while jumping on the trampoline and do not place
any objects on the trampoline while a person is jumping. Re-
move all branches, cables etc. which are above the trampoline.
Poor maintenance: A poor maintenance of the trampoline
raises the risk of injury. Check the trampoline for torn or worn
bounce mats and protection mats, a bent frame or missing
parts, loose or broken springs and the overall stability of the
trampoline. Check the trampoline before each use and replace
all missing parts immediately. The trampoline must not be used
before it has been completely repaired.
Poor weather conditions: Only use the trampoline in good
weather conditions. A wet bouncing mat is slippery. The person
jumping can loose control when jumping with strong winds.
Unlimited access to the trampoline: Please store the ladder at
a secure place when the trampoline is out of use in order to pre-
vent children from an unsupervised access to the trampoline.
Accident prevention:
The user’s role with accident prevention:
Basic knowledge of the trampoline is indispensable for securi-
ty. All users of the trampoline must have been familiarized with
the basic bounce and landing techniques before passing over
to more sophisticated bounces. The user eects a controlled
bounce when he jumps o and lands at the same place. For fur-
ther details see paragraph“Basic bouncing techniques”. For fur-
ther information please contact a skilled trampoline coach.
The supervisor’s role: The supervising person must know all
safety instructions and is responsible for their observance. If no
appropriate supervision is possible the trampoline has to be dis-
mantled and to be stored at a secure place. It has to be covered
by a tarpaulin which is secured by a chain and a lock. The super-
vising person has to make sure that the users observe the safe-
ty instructions and the information sign is placed on the tram-
poline.
