Use of the trampoline
INITIALLY, you should get accustomed to your trampoline and understand how much spring is in each bounce .The focus at this point should be body position and technique until each skill can be completed with ease and control.
- BEFORE YOU TRY TO JUMP TOO HIGH the technique for stopping should be learnt as this will help prevent injury should you feel you are jumping out of control.
- As the user lands on the bed, the knees should be bent so that they stop and absorb the spring in the mat. The position is shown in the image to the left. Arms are held out for increased level of balance.
- This skill is used when the trampoline user wishes to stop bouncing on the trampoline due to fatigue, loss of control, etc.
- SOMERSAULTS (FLIPS):
- DO NOT PERFORM somersaults of any type (backwards or forwards)on this trampoline. If you make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault ,you could land on your head or neck. This will increase your chances of your neck or back being broken ,which could result in death or paralysis
- FOREIGN OBJECTS :
- DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets ,other people ,or any objects underneath the trampoline .This will increase the chances of an injury occurring
- DO NOT hold any foreign objects in your hand and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while in use. DO NOT place the trampoline under over-hanging objects like tree branches, wires, etc as these will increase your chances of being injured.
- POOR MAINTENANCE OF TRAMPOLINE: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of being injured. Please inspect the trampoline before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mat, loose or broken springs and overall stability of the trampoline.
- WEATHER CONDITIONS: Warning. Do not use in strong wind conditions and secure the trampoline. Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. Don’t use the trampoline when it’s wet. If it is too windy, the user could lose control.
