Operational & Safety Guidelines
The Operational & Safety Guidelines Must Be Carefully Read and Followed
Before Using the Bungy Power Jump
C. The Winch
The winch is the mechanism that allows for the raising and lowering of the jumper. It is very important
that the winch is not placed in or around standing water. Do not use the winch if it is raining. Should
the winch get wet, be sure that it is completely dry before operating it again. When the winch is in use,
double check that all ropes are untangled and moving freely; this should be monitored constantly. Make
sure that the winch and all ropes attached to it are in good working order. Never pull up with the winch
when the knot on the rope is closer than 2 inches to the pulley on the top pole. Stop the lowering motion
of the winch before the cable is loose. The instructor should use the winch to help the jumper achieve
the highest possible jump. Pull up the winch while the jumper is in the upward motion. Do this with
extreme care and caution. Ideally, the jumper should never go deeper than 4 to 6 inches into the air
mattress or steel trampoline. Always monitor the cable or rope of the winch for tautness and that it is
not frayed finally, do not allow any non-staff person to operate the winch controls or be near the
winches at any time.
D. The Elastics
The elastics are the fundamental element of the BUNGY, in a combination of both single and double
elastics. The elastics, in conjunction with the harness, connect the jumper to the frame of the Bungy and
it is the elastics system that allows the jumper to reach such incredible heights while simultaneously
providing the stability for acrobatic movement. The elastic loops are 6 feet long. This dual system
allows for the various weight ranges of the jumpers, which must be between 20 and 220 pounds. The
elastics should be monitored constantly for signs of wear and tear. Should elastic break or look worn,
replace immediately. Due to varied operating conditions (Indoor /Outdoor/salt Air rain/humidity) it is
not possible to accurately predict the lifespan of the elastics. The elastics should be replaced regularly
for optimal use and safety. Only replace Vertical Reality elastics with Vertical Reality elastics; do not
use any other elastic system in the BUNGY. Failure to do so will void your warranty and create an
unsafe situation. Be sure to store the elastics in a cool dry place. Sprinkle Baby powder or Climbing
Chalk On the elastics periodically to keep them in good condition. Should the elastics get wet, dry them
completely before using them again. this will greatly increase the life of the elastics . If you have any
questions or concerns about the installation of the elastics, contact Vertical Reality- for service. Make
sure that all Carabineer's (snap-links) are in closed position and tightly secured before each use. Never
use less than 2 elastics per side of the harness. Due to the unique design of the multiple cords, it is
only necessary to loosen one end of the powercord or loop, to speed up customer throughput, this may
cause the powercord or loops to become entangled (intertwined) after some use or customers
performing somersaults, if this happens, periodically untangle the cords. This will not affect the safety
of the unit but may shorten the life of the elastics.

E. The Weight Range Table
* The minimum weight of a person using the Bungy should be no less than 30 pounds.
* The maximum weight of a person using the Bungy should be no more than 230 pounds.
The following table shows how many elastic Loops should be utilized per side

* Use the higher number of elastics if jumper is on upper end of weight range and/or if jumper is very
dynamic and athletic.
•Never use any elastic that show signs of wear and tear.
•Never use less than 2 elastic loops or powercords per side
* Always replace elastics with Vertical Reality elastics; failure to do so will void your warranty.

F. The Harnesses
The harness is the actual link between the jumper and the BUNGY, as it straps the jumper to the elastics
system. To safely utilize the BUNGY, both the jumper and the instructor need to fully understand
proper
Harness fitting, adjusting, and positioning techniques. There are 3 sizes of harnesses: Small (S),
Medium (M), and Large (L). The jumper should be fitted in a tight-fitting harness; the jumper should
wear the smallest size he/she fits. Getting a proper size is very important for both safety and comfort.
SHOULD THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE JUMPER’S HIPS BE TOO SMALL TO ALLOW
THE COMPLETE TIGHTENING OF THE HARNESS WAIST-STRAP IN A SECURE
MANNER, DO NOT ALLOW RIDER TO USE THE BUNGY. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A
SECURE WAIST WITHIN THE HARNESS WILL RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
The following is proper harness fitting procedure:
- The jumper is to stand in front of the harness.
- Place the top strap above the hips of the jumper.
- Close the buckle by putting one end into the other end of the buckle (like in a car seat), make sure the
mechanisms “lock”.
- Tighten the strap around the hip, don’t tighten too much, and check the jumper feels comfortable.
- The carabineer (safe snap links) should be on the outside and above the hips of the jumper.
- If you cannot close the strap completely, use a smaller harness.
- Put the leg straps around the legs.
- Close the buckle and make sure it’s locked.
- Tighten the strap around the leg and check the jumpers’ comfort!!! If the jumper does not fit in any of
the harnesses, do not use BUNGY!!!
The harness should fit the jumper tightly, but not so tightly that it is uncomfortable. The harness straps
should rest comfortably at the top of the thighs and around the buttocks. Make sure that the clothing of
the jumper is not bunched or gathered beneath the straps. The instructor should ask the jumper how the
harness feels and make sure that the jumper is comfortable and confident in the harness. The jumper
should be told to voice any concerns with the harness and or his/her comfort at anytime during time on
the BUNGY. Should the harness become uncomfortable for the jumper during their time, instruct the
jumpers to stop their movement and lower the winch down so the instructor can fix the harness.
G. The Frame
The aluminum frame and innovative design is what makes the BUNGY unique. With this incredible
layout, 4 (5 for the 5 in 1) jumpers can experience the fun at the same time. Make sure that the frame is
clean and dry while operating the BUNGY. Be sure to secure all cables and bolts properly, see the
construction manual for instructions. All binding units and connection points should be completely
closed and secure and should be monitored throughout usage. All ropes connected to the frame should
be straight and able to move freely through the pulleys. Stop the operation immediately if any of the
above is malfunctioning!
H. The Suspensions (trampolines)
The suspensions are the elements of the Bungy that allow the jumper to rebound and gain momentum by
providing a bouncy cushion. There are two types of suspensions: air trampolines for temporary use and
steel frame trampolines for permanent use. Once the jumper is standing safe on the trampoline, attach
the harness immediately like described above and then pull the winch up slightly at first to ensure the
jumper does not fall off the trampoline. Make sure that the jumper is always connected to tightened

elastics while on the trampoline. The instructor should not allow any horseplay on the trampolines. Be
sure to completely deflate, fold, and store air trampolines in a dry place. Wipe air trampolines down
with a cloth periodically. Always make sure that the springs of the steel Frame trampolines are covered
with the soft protector to prevent any injuries. When the steel frame trampolines are not in use, turn
them over and d fold down legs to store. Before turning them over make sure that all the Steel
connections of the frame of the trampoline are taped, so they can’t fall off. The suspension system is
half of the fun in using the Bungy but the jumper needs to be very careful on it as well. This means that
the instructor needs to always be aware of the jumper and his/her placement on the trampoline. The
jumper should try to stay in the center of the trampoline for maximum stability and height. The
instructor should not allow anyone else besides the jumper on the trampoline while the Bungy s in use.
Always make sure that the jumper enters the steel trampoline through the steel ladder. Check the ladder
on the right and safe position all the time.
II. Safety
A. Safe Usage & Warnings
It is very important that before using the Bungy that the system has been properly installed according to
the construction manual. If you have any questions concerning the Bungy construction, suspension
system, elastics system, or frame, contact Vertical Reality. Be sure that the proper amount of space is
given for the construction of the Bungy Power Jump--MINIMUM 32 feet X 32 feet X 24 feet (height)
minimum for the 4 in 1 and 40 X40X24 for the 5 in 1 . It is best to allow an additional 6 feet of height
for extra safety coverage. In addition, be sure to erect the Bungy on a relatively flat ground. Flat,
grassy fields or asphalt are ideal for the BUNGY. Do not erect the Bungy on a hill or a bumpy surface
that cannot resist weight or pressure.
It is very important that during the operation of the BUNGY, the instructor and on-site manager are
continuously monitoring the rope assembly to ensure it is running smoothly and freely through the
pulleys. Should the cables and/or ropes become entangled or are not moving freely, DISCONTINUE
THE USE OF THE BUNGY. Take corrective action before allowing anyone else to use the BUNGY.
It is very important to check the elastics, cables, ropes, harnesses, connection points, and technical parts
daily. The elastics need to be replaced approximately every 3500 jumpers (based on a 5-minute
duration) or about 300 hours of use. The ropes need to be replaced once a year regardless of condition.
Replace elastics and/or ropes at the first sign of wear and tear. Only replace old Vertical Reality parts
with new Vertical Reality parts. Do not use any other elastic, cable, or harness system on the BUNGY.
The use of unsafe materials will void your warranty and result in an unsafe condition.
Never allow horseplay around the BUNGY. Although this is a fun activity that everyone can enjoy, it
must be managed and participated in safely. Do not allow any non-staff person to be near the winches or
cables. The on-site manager must maintain a safe environment not only for the jumpers but also for the
instructors. Keep lines around the Bungy orderly to prevent confusion. No smoking, food, or beverages
should be allowed in the Bungy area.
The instructor must always monitor the height of the jumper’s bounce, making sure there is always
enough clearance. Also, be sure to monitor the jumper’s position on the trampoline and their
approximation to the beams of the BUNGY. Do not let the jumper bounce too far away from the center.
.

THIS IS A HIGH ACTIVE SPORT! Persons who have bad backs, necks, shoulders, broken bones, heart
or lung problems, pregnancy, or any other medical condition should not participate in this activity.
Jumpers should be in good health and should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the
BUNGY. Jumpers should read and obey all rules, warnings, and instructions and should know they
participate at THEIR OWN RISK. Vertical Reality cannot be held responsible for any injuries incurred
and/or items lost broken while on the BUNGY.
B. Daily Check List
The following activities should be performed before the Bungy is used:
- Check all cables and cable attachments for tautness and stability.
- Check all Carabineer's (snap-links) for unusual wear. Be sure they open and close properly.
- Check the winch for proper movement and that all cables/ropes can move freely.
- Check to see that the ropes are moving freely through the pulleys and are not frayed.
- Check all elastics for wear and tear--replace if necessary.
- Check all connection points of the frame.
- Check to see that all bolts and pins are in place and secure.
- Check to see that all Swivels and Quick links are not worn and are tightly fastened.
- Check all connection points of the harnesses. Replace if showing signs of wear
- Check air trampolines for proper inflation.
- Check steel frame trampolines for security and be sure soft protectors cover springs.
- Check that all signs and warnings are properly posted.
III. The Staff
A minimum of 1 operator for 2 trampolines is Mandatory
A. The Interaction between the Instructor & Jumper
The instructor plays an integral role in the success of the jumper while on the BUNGY. He/She has a
tremendous responsibility to maintain the jumper’s safety at all times, while giving support and advice
to aide in the jumper’s movements. This involves listening and communicating with the jumper at all
times and being aware of their situation. The instructor must constantly monitor the winch for optimal
jumps while keeping the jumper from landing on the trampoline in an incorrect fashion. The instructor
needs to relate helpful hints and always encourage the jumper’s success.
B. The Professional Instructor
The skills of a professional instructor include more than the ability to properly connect the jumper to the
BUNGY. The Bungy has the potential for 4 or 5 instructors that must not be aware of their own station,
but they must also work as a team for the safety of everyone involved. The professional instructor
needs to be completely aware of the jumper’s situation, maintaining the highest level of safety possible.
In addition, the instructor needs to fully understand the construction design, the elastic, and harness
systems. The instructor should experience the Bungy for himself or herself and should understand how
to facilitate bodily movements. The instructor must be a good motivator and must always listen to the
jumper’s concerns and impulses. The instructor must be a good communicator with a positive attitude
and helpful words.
C. The On-Site Manager
It is the responsibility of the on-site manager to maintain the safety not only of the jumpers but also the
four instructors operating the BUNGY. It is very important that the on-site manager inspects the

equipment daily and monitors all activity. The on-site manager needs to keep the area around the
Bungy orderly by creating lines and keeping the peace. He/She also needs to always to watching for
small children that might wander in dangerous areas. The on-site manager has the final word on any
discrepancies concerning jumpers and/or problems. The on-site manager needs to make sure that his/her
instructors are following proper procedures and are not intoxicated or falling asleep on the job. These
things could compromise the safety of others and should be monitored at all times.
IV. The Jumper
A. Helpful Hints
Practically anyone can participate in the Bungy and enjoy Spectacular movement and exhilarating fun.
The jumper must be no younger than 18 month of age and no more than 99 years of age (if in good
health) and must weigh between 30 and 230 pounds. Although the jumper need not be
Athletically inclined, it is important that the jumper be in good health. It is also very important that the
jumper obeys all posted rules and warnings and listen to the instructions given. The jumper also needs
to communicate with his/her instructor concerning their comfort and movements. Most importantly, the
jumper needs to be honest with his/her weight for proper harness fitting.
Here are some hints to ensure success:
- The jumper should hold onto the elastics at all times, using them for support and stability.
- While holding onto the elastics, the jumper should pull on the elastics, using their muscles to increase
their height and momentum. - The jumpers need to feel and go with the bouncing motion, using the
trampoline to boost themselves higher. - The jumper should use the upward motion and momentum to
accomplish summersaults/flips. These can be best accomplished if attempted at the maximum height of
the bounce with the jumper’s legs tucked into the body and head tilted in the direction of the desired
summersault.
B. Precautions
As stated earlier, the Bungy is a high action sport. Jumpers should be in good health. Someone should
not participate if they have neck, back, or shoulder problems, broken bones, pregnancy, heart or lung
conditions, or any other medical condition that could cause further injury. Jumpers should not be
intoxicated while using the Bungy and should respect the equipment and the staff at all times. Failure to
comply with these rules will result in the forfeiture of the jumper’s participation. Vertical Reality INC.
Cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged items while on the BUNGY; JUMPERS PARTICIPATE
AT THEIR OWN RISK.

V. The Construction Manual
1.
Take the “Center-Pole” or the 5 sided center pole for the 5 in 1 and place it flat on the ground in the
center of your allocated space. Make sure there is plenty of space (35 feet X 35 feet) to construct
around this pole.
2.
Take 1 4” "leg pole" and place it at a 45° angle to the
“Center-Pole”. Take the 5/8” diameter bolt and lock the "leg pole" between the 2 Lower eyes of the
center-cross. Have one person hold and maneuver pole while other person fits the end between the
eyes.
3.
Take 1 “Short-Pole” and place it between the "leg pole" and the “Center-Pole”. Connect, bolt and
secure one end of the “Short-Pole” in one eye of the "leg pole" and the other end in one eye of the
“Center-Pole”. Secure the bolts with pins. These actions take place while the equipment is still flat
on the ground.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for the connection of the second "leg pole" to the “Center-Pole”. It is very
important to construct this "leg pole" directly the opposite from the first "leg pole". After you have
finished this step, the entire construction is still flat on the ground.
5. Repeat steps 2-3 for the connection of the third "leg pole". This action requires a bit more
strength, because this "leg pole" has to be held at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground to be
mounted into the center-cross of the “Center-Pole”.
6. Now lift the construction up and stand it up vertically. Be very careful at this point, as this is
the most when the Bungy is most vulnerable to possibly falling over.
7. One person must climb up the “Center-Pole” or have a ladder to connect he last "leg pole" for the
4 in 1 and 2 exta legs for the 5 In 1 Complete this step by connecting the final “Short-Pole” to the
“Center-Pole” in the same fashion as before. Secure it with bolt or pin .
8. Lift the “Center-Pole” and place it into the “Center-Base-Plate”.
This is most easily accomplished having one person lift up one bottom end of one "leg pole" while
the other person slides the “Center-Base-Plate” Beneath the “Center-Pole”.
9. Take 1 "arm pole", lift it up and move it in between the upper eyes of the center-cross. Bolt and
secure it in the same manner as with the "leg poles". This action demands quite a bit of maneuvering
with the pole so that it can be fitted into the eyes. Be patient and work carefully and slowly.
10. Repeat step 9 for the 3 or 4 other "arm poles".

11. Place the 4 or (5 for the 5 in 1)winches onto the “Center-Base-Plate” and slide them into the
designated grooves and secure them with pins or bolts. Make sure that the winch is mounted onto the
plate in the right position (carabineer pointing out!).
12. Connect the winches to the control panel if supplied or the and connect the control panel to the
power source 220 v with a 20-amp circuit. If you do not have access to a 220 or 240 Volts supply, you
must use a transformer (Minimum 5000 Watts).
13. Take the 4 or (5 for the 5 in 1) “Short-Cables” and attach the end with the fastener to one ring-screw
of the 4 or (5 for the 5 in 1) "arm poles". Leave the cables hanging loose; do not connect the other end
to anything at this point.
15. Take the 8 or 10 (FOR THE 5 IN 1) “Long-Cables” and attach the snap-clip-carabineer with the
outer ring-screws of the 4 "arm poles". If you are operating with Banners, make sure that the banners are
lying in between (sandwiched) one "arm pole" and one “leg-Pole”.
16. Make sure all the fasteners at their maximum extension.
17. Connect the bottom ends of the “Long-Cables” with the ring-screw of the "leg poles". The "leg
poles" are at a 90-degree angle to the "arm pole", which are connected with the “Long-Cables”.
18. Once all 8 or 10 for the 5 in 1 “Long-Cables” are at the correct place you have done most of the
work.
19. Begin operating the winches by pulling out 20 feet of mountain rope.
20. Take the 8 “Jump-Sets” and always place them on outer ends of the "Arm poles". Do this by
attaching the carabineer that has the stainless Steele swivel and red pulley to the outer side of the
ringbolt, the Steele cable should be attached to the inside part of the ringbolt.
21. Attach the other side to the next arm pole in the same fashion
22. Repeat step 21 with the other “Jump-Set” attachments.
23. Connect the center red pulley in the center of the jump set loop rope of the “Jump-Set” to the ends
of the mountain rope of the winch. Close the connecting screw carabineer.
24. Repeat step 23 with the rest of the “Jump-Sets”.
25. Make sure that each outer end of the mountain rope to a “Jump-Set” has a set of elastics secured to
it.
26. Try and keep the “jump-Set” elastics clean and dry.
27. Take 1 of the “Bottle-Nose- support Poles” and place on the side of the
“Center-Pole”, as far out as needed to be able to connect it at one end to the eye on the outer end of the
"arm pole".
28. Bolt or pin this outer connection and secure it.
29. Check the whole system before going to the next step.

30. One person lifts up the outer end of the "arm pole" where the “Bottle-Nose- Pole” is connected. The
second person holds the loose end of the “Bottle-Nose-Pole” and pushes this end towards the other
person. When the first person cannot lift any more due to height limitations, the second person must
stop pushing. The first person must try to maneuver the pole by putting it on the ground and stepping
behind it with his/her foot to prevent scraping. This step is a real exercise in teamwork—you must
communicate with your partner.
31. The first person grabs the “Bottle-Nose-Pole” and together with the second person they push it up
and put it into the bottom eye of the “leg-Pole”. Make sure it is completely safe before letting go of the
pole. Bolt or secure it with pins.
32. Repeat step 31 for the 3 or 4 remaining “Bottle-Nose-Poles”.
33. Climb up the “Center-Pole” again and connect the “Short-Cables” to the ring screw of the "arm
poles", so it creates a square.
34. Tighten all 12 or 15 for the 5 in 1Turnbuckles as tightly as possible, however do not over-do-it; you
do not want to break the steel cable.
35. Shake the whole construction to check for loose parts.
36. Check all the connection parts again and make sure everything is in place and order. Make sure that
all connection points have been secured with pins. Make sure that you do not have any left over parts
after the construction is complete.
37. The whole construction should be completely stable even when shaken vigorously. If it is not
stable, you must check the construction again to ensure that everything step has been followed. Never
operate this system if you are not completely certain it has been SAFELY constructed. If you have
ANY questions, contact Vertical Reality. Consult the construction Manual and/or construction video for
help.
38. When you are sure that everything is the way it should be, proceed to go for a trial jump. BE
CAREFUL!
39. Post all safety warnings and rules for the Bungy and make sure they are plain sight so everyone can
see them before getting on the BUNGY.
Have fun safely!!!
