• Don't practice any daredevil jumps on the trampoline as this increases the risk of
injury. The key for safety and fun on the trampoline is the control and mastery of
the various jumps. Never try to jump higher than another trampolinist! Never use
the trampoline on your own without a spotter.
TYPES OF ACCIDENTS
• Getting on and off: Be very careful getting on and off the trampoline. Do NOT get
on the trampoline by grabbing hold of the frame padding, standing on the springs
or jumping from another object (e.g.a terrace, a roof or a ladder) on to the trampoline
mat. This increases the risk of injury! Do NOT get off the trampoline by jumping on
to the oor, irrespective of the structure of the oor. If little children are jumping on
the trampoline, these may need help getting on and off.
• Consumption of alcohol or medicines: Do NOT consume alcohol or medication if
you use this trampoline! This increases the risk of injury as these foreign substances
can affect your judgment, your reaction time and your overall body control.
• One trampolinist at a time: If there are several trampolinists on the trampoline
(more than one trampolinist at the same time on the trampoline), this increases
your risk of Injury. Injuries can occur if you fall off the trampoline, lose control,
collide with another trampolinist or land on the springs. In general, the lightest
person on the trampoline is the one to be injured.
• Touch the frame or the springs: When jumping on the trampoline, stay in the
MIDDLE of the mat. This decreases the risk of injury by landing on the frame or
springs. The frame padding must always cover the trampoline frame. Do NOT jump
or climb directly on the frame padding as it is not suitable for bearing the weight of
a person.
• Loss of control: Do not try ANY (difficult) exercises before mastering the previous
exercise or if you have just starting learning how to jump on a trampoline. Otherwise,
you increase your risk of landing on the frame, on the springs or even outside of the
trampoline altogether. A controlled jump is a jump in which your starting and landing
point on the mat are identical. If you lose control when jumping on the trampoline,
bend your knees as you land. This enables you to regain control and stop the jump.
• Somersaults: Do not perform ANY somersaults (front or backwards) on this tram-
poline. If you make a mistake when doing a somersault, you can land on your head
or neck. This can lead to a broken neck or back, which could result in death or paralysis.
• Other objects: Do NOT use the trampoline if animals, other people or any objects
are under the trampoline. This can otherwise increase the risk of injury. Don't hold
ANY objects and do NOT put anything on the trampoline while someone is jumping
on it. Pay attention to what is over your head when you are jumping on the trampo
line. Branches, cables and other objects above the trampoline increase the risk of
injury.
