GENERAL ATTRACTION INFORMATION: Manufactured by the company called EUROBUNGY, EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE is the latest in revenue generating interactive sports products designed for the amusement, entertainment, and fitness industries. This attraction is based on a simple trampoline with the added feature of a system of elastics that permit riders (jumpers) to make unusually high, stable jumps in a safe setting.
We are dedicated to providing our guests with a safe and enjoyable day when they go on a EUROBUNGY ride and we must all work together to fulfill that goal. Safety is engineered into your area but there is no substitute for alertness on your part: your every action and movement must reflect this reality.

8. EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE ELEMENTS HARNESSES The EUROBUNGY-HARNESS is the actual link, the restraint system, between the jumper and the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”, as it straps the jumper to the elastics system. To safely utilize the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”, both the jumper and the instructor need to fully understand proper harness fitting, adjusting, and positioning techniques.
Page 10
The jumper should be told to voice any concerns with the harness and or his/her comfort at ANY time during their time on the “EUROBUNGY-TRAMPOLINE”. Should the harness become uncomfortable for the jumper during their time, instruct the jumper to stop their movement and lower the hoist down so the instructor can fix the harness.
The supervisor/manager will keep a log of Powercord installation dates (See Appendix A) to ensure proper replacement as scheduled. Only use elastics supplied by EuroBungy; do not use any other elastic system. Failure to do so will void the warranty and Page 11 of 39...

This table sheets are only showing directions. With the aging of the elastics they lose bounce and you might have to increase the number of elastics. Also the capability of the jumper increases or decreases the numbers of elastics you have to put on.

Never use any elastic that show signs of wear and tear. Always replace elastics with Eurobungy elastics; failure to do so will nullify your warranty.. A jumper who is unable to refrain from swinging back and forth during the jump is attached to the incorrect number of elastics.
