SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- WARNING: Do not land on the head or neck. There is the danger of paralysis or death, even if landing in the center of the trampoline. No somersaults should be attempted, in order to avoid danger of a head or neck landing.
- WARNING: One person only at a time may use the trampoline. All children must be supervised while using the trampoline. Several persons jumping at the same time on the trampoline will increase the danger of control loss, collision or falls. This can lead to serious injury.
- The safety instructions of the product should always be considered and obeyed.
- Using the trampoline may result in permanent injury such as paralysis, or even death. Even landings on the trampoline may lead to injuries, particularly to the back, neck or head.
- Trampolines are jumping devices, enabling the user to jump into unusual heights as well as into a multiplicity of body movements. Jumping on the Trampoline, hitting the frame, cushioning or incorrect landing on the Trampoline can lead to injuries.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 1.5m on all sides of the trampoline. This area should not include concrete, bitumen, brick or other hard surfaces as these can cause serious injuries if users fall off the trampoline.
- No clothes with hooks or lose parts should be worn when carried during trampoline usage in order to avoid hooks getting caught and causing injury.
- Strong winds can result in the trampoline being blown away or damaged. If strong winds are predicted the trampoline must be disassembled and moved to a sheltered area or sufficiently anchored down.
- Moving the product whilst assembled may affect the integrity of the frame. Should it be necessary to move the trampoline, please consider the following:
1. At least four people must be evenly spaced around the frame to lift the trampoline off the ground.
2. The product must be carried horizontally.
3. Use caution whilst moving as it could bend the trampoline frame. If this occurs, use four people to draw the trampoline in shape.- Users should be familiar with the assembly manual. This manual contains assembly guidance; selected precautionary measures as well as recommendations for servicing and maintenance of the trampoline, in order to ensure a secured and fun use of the Trampoline.
- It is the responsibility of the owner or the supervisor to guarantee that all users of the trampoline are informed sufficiently of all warning references and safety instructions.
For the supervisor
The supervisor’s role is to make sure users are aware of all safety
precautions and that these precautions are enforced. When a supervisor is not
available, the product may be disassembled or covered to limit access.
- Do not allow children under 6 years on the trampoline.
- The trampoline can only be used, if the jumping mat is clean and dry. Worn or damaged jumping mats should immediately be replaced.
- Objects, which could be dangerous to the user, should be away from the trampoline.
- Avoid unauthorized and unsupervised use of the trampoline.
- Do not use the trampoline under influence of alcohol or drugs (incl. medicines).
- Learn the fundamental jump and body positions carefully, before trying difficult jumps.
- Stop jumping by bending your knees when your feet come to contact with the trampoline. The skill of braking should be used whenever you lose balance or control from a previous manoeuvre. Loss of balance or control will increase the risk of injury from landing on the frame, springs or completely off the trampoline. A controlled jump is considered landing on the same spot that you tookoff from. If you do lose control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees sharply when you land and this will allow you to regain control and stop your jump.
- Climb onto the trampoline. Do not jump on it directly. Do not use the trampoline as jumping board for other articles.
- Focus your eyes on the edge of the trampoline. This will help control your bounce.
- Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill before you attempt any other
- Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and repeatedly land in the centre of the trampoline.
- Do not bounce immediately after a meal.
ACCIDENT CATEGORIES
SOMERSAULTS
A landing on the head or neck increases the risk of neck and back injuries,
which can lead
to paralysis and sometimes death. This can occur if the user makes an error
and falls forward or backward. No somersaults should be attempted on the
trampoline.
CLIMBING ON OR OFF THE TRAMPOLINE
The trampoline’s jumping mat is approximately one meter above the ground.
Jumping off
the trampoline onto the ground or another surface can lead to an injury.
Jumping onto the trampoline from a building roof, a terrace or other objects
can lead to injury. Small children need assistance when climbing on or off the
trampoline. Be careful when climbing on and off the trampoline. Do not step on
the padding or the framework. Do not use the framework for climbing on or off
the trampoline.
HITTING THE FRAMEWORK OR THE SPRINGS
Stay in the centre of the mat when playing jumping on the trampoline. This
will reduce the risk of injury from landing on the frame or springs. Always
keep the padding covering the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step
onto the frame pad directly since it is not intended to support the weight of
a person.
LOSS OF CONTROL
When users lose control of their jump, they can land incorrectly, on the
framework, on the padding or fall off the trampoline. A controlled jump is one
where the jumper lands and jumps from the same spot. If a manoeuvre is
attempted, which exceeds the abilities of the jumper; there is a danger of
losing control and increased chance of injury. In order to regain control of
the jump and land correctly, knees should be completely bent upon landing.
UNDER INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
The probability of an injury rises if the user is under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. These substances weaken the response, the faculty of
judgment, the space awareness, the co-ordination and the motor functions of
the user.
COLLISION WITH OBJECTS
While using the trampoline, persons, animals or articles under it will
increase the probability of an injury. Jumping on the trampoline whilst
carrying an article, increases the probability of an injury. Placing the
trampoline too close to electric wires, tree branches or other obstacles will
also increase the probability of an injury.
BAD MAINTENANCE OF THE TRAMPOLINE
Users can hurt themselves if the trampoline is in a bad condition. A torn
jumping mat, bent framework, missing cushioning or missing framework must be
replaced before using the trampoline again. The trampoline should be examined
before each use.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
A wet jumping mat is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusty or strong winds can
lead to a loss of jump control when jumping. In order to lower the probability
of an injury, the trampoline should be used under suitable weather conditions
only.
