Trampoline Safety Tips

Dear Owners:

Trampoline City wants you to be play safe on your trampoline. We send a detailed set of safety instructions and booklet with all of our trampolines. A few simple steps can make your backyard trampoline an excellent source of recreation and exercise, for all ages.

Interested in purchasing a safety net?
We now carry 14' and 16' safety nets.  If you would like more information regarding safety nets or wish to purchase one please call us 1-877-772-9777.

Please take note of these 10 simple rules:

1. If you attempt complex trick or somersaults have spotters, and ensure you are experienced and skilled enough to perform these tricks...

2. Do not allow your trampoline to be used without shock-absorbing pads that completely cover the springs, hooks and frame.

4. Do not use a ladder with the trampoline because it provides unsupervised access by small children.

5. Ensure that your trampoline is properly assembled in a level area with at least 10 unobstructed feet (3 meters) on all sides and a minimum of 20 unobstructed feet (6 meters) above the trampoline bouncing surface. The area directly below the bouncing surface must be kept clear at all times.

6. Perform the 'Stop Bounce' after every skill or sequence of skills, or whenever you deviate from the center of the trampoline.

7. Never jump off a trampoline, always climb off.

8. Keep your bouncing low and under control. Consistently land in the center of the trampoline.

9. Allow only one person on the trampoline at a time.

10. Do not leave children unsupervised on the trampoline.

11. Avoid bouncing for long periods of time and do not bounce when you are tired.

12. Do not use your backyard trampoline when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

13. Ensure the spotters are always stationed around the trampoline.

14. Master the specified pre-requisites before attempting a new skill.

15. Do not attempt back flips (back somersaults), multiple somersaults or twisting somersaults on your backyard trampoline.

So, dear owners - be safe and not sorry. Common sense safety rules are a requirement in all sports. A trampoline used properly and sensibly is excellent recreation for all ages.
