INFORMATION ON TRAMPOLINE USE

Training with the trampoline

Fundamental trampoline skills

Bouncing

The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control
in the centre of the mat. The basic bounce should always be low. High, reckless
bouncing should never be allowed.
Stop bouncing
This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is
achieved by keeping the feet in contact with the mat, and absorbing the
rebound of the trampoline with the knees and waist. This skill should be the first
skill learned and should be employed whenever you feel out of balance, or land
away from the centre area.
• Stand in the centre of the mat with your feet about hip-width apart.
• Attempt about three easy bounces, keeping them low and controlled.
• To keep your balance, focus your eyes toward the perimeter of the trampoline
while bouncing.
• Stop bouncing by bending your knees and at your hips when your feet come
into contact with the mat.

Jumpers, please pay attention to:
• Do not use the trampoline if you are tired or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not jump too high. To avoid fatigue, do not jump too
long. Control your jumps. When using the trampoline,
a supervisor has to be present. Do not jump alone.
• Do not wear clothes with hooks or parts that might
become entangled in the jumping bed.
• Climb onto the trampoline. Do not jump from the
trampoline. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard
to other objects.
Supervisors, please pay attention:
• It is the responsibility of the owner or the supervisor to
ensure that all users of the trampoline are sufficiently
informed about all warnings and safety instructions and to
enforce them.
• All trampoline users need a supervisor, regardless of their
age or capabilities.
• Remove all objects that might interfere with the jumper
from the surroundings of the trampoline. Pay attention to
what is above, below and around the trampoline.
• When it is not in use, keep the trampoline secured to
prevent it from being used without supervision.
