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.
