3.1. ACCIDENT CATEGORIES
Somersaults : A landing on the head or neck, even if it happens in the center of the Trampoline,
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!
The probability of an injury increases if more than one person jump on the Trampoline and lose
control of their jump. Users can collide, fall down from the Trampoline and land wrongly on the
jump mat and on each other. Smaller users will more easily be hurt in that case.
Climbing on or off the Trampoline: The trampoline’s mat is approx. a meter above the floor.
Jumping off the Trampoline onto the floor or another surface can lead to an injury. Jumping on
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 cushioning or the framework. Do not use the framework for
Climbing on or off the Trampoline.
Hitting the framework or the springs: When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the center of the
mat. This will reduce your risk of getting injured by landing on the frame of springs. Always keep
the frame pad covering the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad
directly since it was not intended to support the weight of a person?
Loss of control: when users lose control of their jump, they can land wrongly on the jump mat,
land on the framework or the cushioning or fall down from the Trampoline. A controlled jump is
one where the jumper lands and jumps from the same spot. Before a more difficult jump
maneuver is practiced, the basic controlled jump should be mastered perfectly and continuously.
If a jump manoeuvres is tried, which exceeds the abilities of the jumper; there is a danger of
losing control. In order to regain control of the jump and land correctly, knees should be
completely bent upon landing.
Under influence of drugs or alcohol: The probability of an injury rises, if the user is under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. These substances weaken the response, the faculty of judgment,
the space awareness, the co-ordination and the motor functions of the concerned user.
Collision with objects: while using the trampoline, person, animals or articles under it will
increase the probability of an injury. Jumping on the Trampoline while carrying an article, above
all sharp or fragile, increases the probability of an injury. Placing the trampoline too close to
electric wires, tree branches or other obstacles will increase the probability of an injury.
Bad maintenance of the Trampoline: Users can hurt themselves if the trampoline is in bad
condition. A torn jump mat, a bent framework, missing cushioning or a missing framework must
be replaced before using the trampoline again. The trampoline should be examined before each
