 Learn the fundamental jump and body positions carefully, before trying difficult jumps.
 Stop jumping by bending your knees when your feet come to contact with the trampoline. The skill
of braking should be used whenever you lose balance or control from a previous manoeuvre. Loss
of balance or control will increase the risk of injury from landing on the frame, springs or completely
off the trampoline. 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 to regain control and stop your jump.
 Climb onto the trampoline. Do not jump on it directly. Do not use the trampoline as jumping board
for other articles.
2.1 Accident Categories
Somersaults : A landing on the head or neck increases the risk of neck and back injuries, which can lead
to paralysis and sometimes death. This can occur if the user makes an error and falls forward or backward.
No somersaults should be attempted on the trampoline.
Climbing on or off the trampoline: The trampoline’s jumping mat is approximately one meter above the
ground. Jumping off the trampoline onto the ground or another surface can lead to an injury. Jumping onto
the trampoline from a building roof, a terrace or other objects can lead to injury. Small children need
assistance when climbing on or off the trampoline. Be careful when climbing on and off the trampoline. Do
not step on the padding or the framework. Do not use the framework for climbing on or off the trampoline.
Hitting the framework or the springs: Stay in the centre of the mat when playing jumping on the trampoline.
This will reduce the risk of injury from landing on the frame or springs. Always keep the padding covering
the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it is not intended to
support the weight of a person.
Loss of control: when users lose control of their jump, they can land incorrectly, on the framework, on the
padding or fall off the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the jumper lands and jumps from the
same spot. If a manoeuvre is attempted, which exceeds the abilities of the jumper; there is a danger of
losing control and increased chance of injury. In order to regain control of the jump and land correctly,
knees should be completely bent upon landing.
