well to prevent being blown away. Therefore, a sufficient number of anchorages are required (no less than one per leg; not included in the package) to ensure
Ÿ
using the appropriate fixing material. Alternatively, you should move the trampoline into a protected area or disassemble it. In the case of bad weather, we are not
responsible for the damage in the case that the trampoline had not been fixed thoroughly.
For the Supervisor
Obey all safety rules and make yourself familiar with the information in the user manual.
Ÿ
All users of the trampoline need a supervisor, regardless of the age and the experience of the user.
Ÿ
Trampoline can only be used when the jumping mat is clean and dry. A jumping mat with wear or damage must be replaced immediately.
Ÿ
Objects, which could be dangerous to the user, should be vacated from the area.
Ÿ
Do not carry pets on the jumping mat to protect the health of your animal and jumping mat.
Ÿ
Avoid unauthorized and unsupervised use of the trampoline.
Ÿ
Ensure that the user enters the trampoline through the safety enclosure net as the warning signs on the spring guard mat are readable.
Ÿ
For the Jumpers
Do not use trampolines under the influence of alcohol or drugs(incl. over the counter or prescription medication).
Ÿ
Please study the fundamental jump and body positions carefully before trying difficult jumps.
Ÿ
Stop rebounding by bending your knees when your feet come to contact to the jumping mat.
Ÿ
This technique should be practiced while you are learning the balance and control of previous manoeuvre. If you always lose balance in jumping or if you are just
Ÿ
learning the basic on how to jump on a trampoline, then you should learn how to control your weight distribution. A controlled jump is considered landing on the
same spot that you took off from. If you do lose control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees sharply when you land and this will allow you
regain control and stop your jumping.
Please take turns jumping and pay attention to other users.
Ÿ
For further information or exercise documents, please turn to a trained trampoline teacher. Use of the trampoline, as in all active leisure kinds of sports, may lead
Ÿ
to injury. But there are ways to reduce the risk of injury. In the following sections, the basic cause of accidents are emphasized and tips are given regarding the
responsibility of supervisors and users to avoid accidents.
Accident Categories
Somersaults: Landing on the head or neck, even if it may happen in the center of the trampoline, increases the risk of neck and back injury, which can lead to
Ÿ
paralysis and even death. This can occur if the user makes an error and falls forward or backward. No somersaults should be attempted on the trampoline.
The probability of an injury increases if more than one person jumps on the trampoline and loses control of their jump. Users may collide with each other, fall off of
Ÿ
the trampoline, fall on the springs, or land wrongly on the jumping mat. Smaller users will be more easily hurt in that case.
Climbing on and off the trampoline: The jumping mat is approximately a meter above the ground. Jumping off the trampoline on to the floor or another surface can
Ÿ
lead to injury. Jumping on the trampoline from a building roof, a terrace or other objects can lead to injury. Small children need assistance when climbing on and
off the trampoline. Be careful when climbing on and off the trampoline. Do not step on the springs or spring guard mat. Do not use the spring guard mat for
climbing on and off the trampoline.
Hitting the frames or springs: It can lead to injury by hitting the frames or falling into the springs when jumping up and down on the trampoline. Please stay in the
Ÿ
center of the mat when jumping. Make sure the spring guard mat remains in place and cover the frames and springs. The spring guard mat is not intended to
support the weight of a person. Do not step onto or jump directly to the spring guard mat.
Loss of control: When users lose control of their jump, they can land on the jumping mat in the wrong way, or land on the frames or springs, or fall off of the
Ÿ
trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the jumper lands and jumps from the same spot. Before a more difficult jump maneuver is practiced, the basic
controlled jump should be mastered perfectly and continuously. If trying a jump maneuver that exceeds the abilities of the jumper, there is a danger of losing
control. In order to regain control of the jump and land correctly, knees should be completely bent upon landing.
Under the influence of drugs or alcohol: The possibility of injury rises, if the user is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These substances weaken the
Ÿ
response, faculty of judgment, spatial awareness, coordination and motor functions of the concerned users.
Collision with objects: The possibility of injury will increase, if other people, animals or objects are under the trampoline in the jump, jumping on the trampoline
Ÿ
while carrying sharp or fragile objects, or placing the trampoline too close to electric cables, tree branches or other obstacles.
Poor maintenance of the trampoline: Users can hurt themselves if the trampoline is in bad condition. A torn jumping mat, a bent frame, missing springs or missing
Ÿ
spring guard mat must be replaced before using the trampoline. The trampoline should be examined before each use.
Weather conditions: A wet jumping mat is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusting or heavy winds can lead to a loss of control when jumping. In order to lower the
Ÿ
possibility of an injury, the trampoline should be only used under suitable weather conditions.
