3.0. Usage and Behaviour

Improper use of, or behaviour on, your trampoline can lead
to serious injury. Please follow these usage and behaviour
instructions to ensure safe play.

3.1. Safe use information

Trampolines are great fun, encourage the development of
gross motor skills; provide opportunities for physical activity
and present users with manageable challenges to find
and test their limits. However, like many physical activities,
trampoline use involves potential risk of injury, particularly if
the equipment is used improperly.
Injury surveillance and hospital admissions data show
that trampolines feature frequently in injury presentations
and admissions. Children under 14 years of age account
for about 90% of all trampoline-related injuries. 28% of the
trampoline-related injuries were sustained by children under
five years of age and more than a third of the injuries related
to multi-users. (Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit—Hazard 75,
Autumn 2013, pg. 3.)
The following points are important to note:
• Injury data indicates that people can be severely injured if
they land on an unprotected trampoline frame or springs
or if they fall from the trampoline. Impact attenuation
systems, such as pads, are intended to minimise the risk
of injury and enclosures are intended to stop people
falling off the trampoline.
• Ensure that your enclosure is attached to the trampoline
before use.
• The risk of injury increases when more than one person
at a time bounces on a trampoline. Smaller children are
at increased risk when jumping with adults and/or larger
children, for example, a 'double bounce' dramatically
increases the energy transferred to the smaller body
and children's legs have been broken and severe spinal
injuries have occurred as a result.
• Ensure that only one person at a time bounces on the
trampoline
• Children are often unable to identify hazards and do not
have a well-developed ability to assess risk and may, if
left unsupervised, be at more risk of injury.
• Always supervise children while they are using the
trampoline
• Overconfidence can lead to injury.
• Learn fundamental bounces first before trying more
complex manoeuvres.
• Inappropriate clothing can cause injury.
