Instruction manual

• DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it was not intended to support the weight of one
person.
Loss of Control:
• DO NOT try difficult manoeuvres, of any manoeuvres until you have mastered the previous manoeuvre, or if
you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase your risk of getting injured by
landing on the frame, springs, or off the trampoline completely because you might lose control of your jump.
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. Somersaults (Flips): DO NOT PERFORM somersaults of any type (backwards or
forwards) on this trampoline. If you make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault, you could land on
your back or neck. This will increase your chances of getting your neck or back broken, which will result in
death or paralysis.
Foreign Objects:
• DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets, other people, or any objects underneath the trampoline. This
will increase the chances of an injury occurring.
• DO NOT hold any foreign objects in your hand and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while
anyone is playing on it. Please be aware of what is overhead when you are playing on the trampoline. Tree
limbs, wires, or other objects located over the trampoline will increase your chances of getting injured.
Poor Maintenance of Trampoline: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of getting injured. Please
inspect the trampoline before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mat, loose or broken springs, and overall stability of
the trampoline.
TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENT
The jumper’s role in accident prevention is to stay in control. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more difficult
manoeuvres until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce. Education is also key to safety and very
important. Read, understand, and practice all safety precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A
controlled jump is when you land and take off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions,
contact a certified trampoline instructor.
Supervisor’s Role in Accident Prevention: The supervisor needs to understand and enforce all safety rules and
guidelines. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of
the trampoline. If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline should be stored in a secure place,
disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarpaulin that can be locked or secured with lock
or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the safety placard is placed on the trampoline and that
jumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.
TRAMPOLINE PLACEMENT
