Jumper's role in accident prevention
Stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated or moredifficultman oeuvres until you have mastered the basic,
fundamental bounce.Education is key to safety. Read, understand, and practice all safetyPrecautions and warnings prior to using the
trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and takeoff from the same point on the mat. For additional safety tips and
instructions, contact a certified trampoline instructor.
Always bounce at the center of the bed. Bouncing near the edge of the bed can lead to injury and can also stretch the
springs. The frame pad is not designed nor intended to support the weight of the trampoline user. Do not step or jump
directly onto the frame pad.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land consistently in the middle of the bed.
To regain control and stop your jump, bend your knees quickly when you land.
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Allow each jumper a brief turn on the trampoline. Extended bouncing exposes an over tired user to an increased risk of
injury. Longer turns tend to lessen the interest of others waiting to jump.
The trampoline mat is several feet from the ground. Jumping off the trampoline to the ground or any other surface may
result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof, deck, or other object also represents a risk of injury. Smaller
children may need assistance getting up on or down from the trampoline. Mounting and dismounting properly should be a
strict rule from the very beginning. Users should climb onto the trampoline by placing their hands on the frame and stepping
or rolling up onto the frame, across the springs, and onto the mat (bed). Do not step directly on the frame pad or grasp the
frame pad when mounting or dismounting the trampoline. Users should always place their hands on the frame while
mounting or dismounting. To dismount, jumpers should walk to the side of the mat (bed), bend over and place one hand on
the frame, then step from the mat to the ground.
Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while jumping or getting on or off the trampoline. Stay
in the centre of the trampoline mat when jumping. BE SURE TO KEEP THE FRAME PAD IN PLACE TO COVER THE FRAME AT
ALL TIMES. The frame pad is not designed nor intended to support the weight of the trampoline user. Do not step or jump
directly onto the frame pad.
Supervisor's Role in Accident Prevention
Supervisors must understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility ofthe supervisor to provide
knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers. Ifsupervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline should be
disassembled and stored in asecure place to prevent unauthorized use. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the
safetyplacard is placed on the trampoline and thatjumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.
