5. IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR USAGE
• For the first use of the Trampoline, users must concentrate on learning
fundamental body positions.
• In the learning phase, users must practice and perfect these basic techniques.
The deceleration or examining of the jump must be informed first and
emphasized as a security measure. Users must break their jump, as soon as
they begin to lose the balance or lose control of their jump. Bending the knees
on landing so as to absorb the energy of the jump does this. Thus users can
stop the jump immediately and avoid control loss.
• A better, more controlled jump for the Trampoline is one in which the user
lands on the original jumping place. This exercise is learned only if users can
repeat it regularly. Users may never turn to a more difficult exercise before
having mastered all the previously learned exercises.
• Users should have a respectively short jumping time. Jumping for too long
exposes the user to an increased danger of injury. Longer jumping periods
also reduce the interest of the other users, as they have to wait for their turn
to jump.
• The clothes must consist of a t-Shirt, short trousers, Gymnastic shoes and
thick socks (can also be barefoot). Beginners should wear appropriate
protective clothing, like long arm shirts and training trousers, until they can
control the landings correctly. Thus, scratches are prevented by wrong
landing on the elbows and knees. No firm shoes may be carried, since they
lead to strong wear of the Trampoline.
• For correct climbing on and off the trampoline, a firm rule must be followed by
beginning users: They should always use their hand on the framework and
use this to climb up or down, then stand on the jump mat. When the
ascending and descending off the Trampoline does not rise directly on the
framework or seize the framework. To descend, users have to go to the
exterior of the jump mat, bend forwards and put their hands on the framework,
then step from the mat to the ground. DO NOT dismount by jumping off the
trampoline and landing on the ground, regardless of the makeup of the
ground. If small children are playing on the trampoline, they may need help in
mounting and dismounting.
• Daring jumps are not recommended. All skills should be learned with normal
jumps. The control of the jump and not the height are to be emphasized. User
may not jump alone and unsupervised on the Trampoline.
