can cause serious injury, paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.
z Do not allow more than one person on the trampoline or inside the trampoline enclosure.
Use by more than one person at the same time can result in serious injuries.
z Keep objects away which could interfere with the performer. Maintain a clear area
around the trampoline. Do not allow foreign objects or animals on the trampoline.
z Use trampoline and trampoline enclosure only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.
z Trampolines over 20 in.(51cm) tall are not recommended for use by children under six
years of age.
z The trampoline should be assembled in its entirety before each use. All springs should be
attached to the frame. The frame over should be positioned correctly at all times.
z Never set-up the trampoline in heavy rain, wind or storm conditions, especially lightning
storms. It is recommended that the trampoline be taken apart and stored in bad weather.
z When moving the assembled trampoline and trampoline enclosure have at least four
people evenly spaced around the frame (NSEW) to lift the trampoline off the ground.
z Inspect that trampoline and trampoline enclosure before each use. Make sure that frame
cover, barrier and, enclosure support padding are correctly and securely positioned.
Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
z The metal frame of the trampoline will conduct electricity. Lights, extension cords, and
all such electrical equipment must never be allowed to come in contact with the
trampoline.
z Wear comfortable clothing. Remove jewelry, necklaces, and earrings. Wear clothing free
of draw strings, hooks, loops or anything that could get caught in the barrier.
z Enter and exit the enclosure only at the enclosure door or barrier opening designated for
that purpose. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to the ground or
floor when dismounting, or to jump onto the trampoline when mounting. Do not use
trampoline as a springboard to other objects.
z Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this
skill before attempting others.
z Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
skills. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic
fundamentals in various series and combinations, performing one fundamental after
another, with or without feet bounces between them.
z Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing in the
center of the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more important than height.
z While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter. This
will help control bounce.
z Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.
z Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use. If a
trampoline ladder is used, the supervisor should remove it from the trampoline when
leaving the area to prevent unsupervised access by children under six years of age.
z Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
z For additional information concerning the trampoline equipment, contact the
manufacturer.
z For information concerning skill training, contract a certified trampoline instructor.
