3.2 Trampoline Safety
As in most recreational sport, participants may be injured, This section covers the most
common accidents. Responsibilities of the supervisors and jumpers in accident prevention
are also outlined.
The following are reasons why accidents happen:
Attempting somersaults: Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury, paralysis,
●
or death, even when landing the middle of the bed.
More than one person on the trampoline: Use by more than one person at the same
●
time can result in serious injuries.
Incorrect mounting and dismounting: Carefully step off and on to the trampoline bed. Do
●
not jump off to the ground. Do not jump from a table, or other object onto the ground,
do not step onto the suspension system.
●
Hitting the frame: Stay in the center of the trampoline when jumping. Injury may result
from hitting the frame when control is lost. Be sure the frame cover is always on. Do not
jump into the frame pad.
●
Loss of control: A jumper who looses control will increase his/her chance of injury. To
regain control and stop your jump, bend your knees as you land.
●
Alcohol and drug use: Because alcohol and drug use impairs the jumper's co-ordination,
loss of control as well as injuries are greatly increased.
●
Foreign objects: Please make sure there is nothing sharp under and around the
trampoline. Hitting objects under the trampoline can cause injury, jumping with a foreign
object can also increase the chances of getting injured. Make sure there is adequate
clearance 10 feet above and 10 feet around the trampoline. Be careful of overhead
wires, ceiling fans etc.
●
Poor maintenance of the trampoline: Make sure you inspect the trampoline before every
use, check for punctures on the mat, sharp burrs on the frame, stitching that has gone
bad or loose elastic bands, if a replacement part are needed, please contact customer
services.
●
Storage: Once the circular frame is assembled, it may not be taken apart, Remove the
legs and handles then store the entire frame when not in use.
●
Not suitable for outside storage.
●
Do not store near a heat source such as a radiator.
