• The trampoline must always be used in a well-lit area.
• Do not place anything under the trampoline.
• Use gloves during assembly and disassembly.
• Outdoor trampolines should be equipped with a device that in strong wind conditions avoid displacement due to wind (e.g. steel bars in the ground or loads like sand bag or water bags) and/or items catching wind like net and mat should be removed.
• In certain areas during winter, snow buildup and the low temperatures can damage the trampoline. It is recommended to remove snow buildup and to store the mat and the enclosure indoor.
• Replace the enclosure after 2 years of usage. This time indication is highly effected by weather conditions and the amount of UV exposure the trampoline is subject to. We strongly recommend visual inspections every 3 months to insure the integrity of the entire trampoline. Replace any parts as necessary.

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 product may result in permanent injury such as paralysis, or even death. Falling off the product may lead to injuries, particularly to the back, neck or head.

• No clothes with hooks or lose parts should be worn or carried during product usage in order to avoid hooks getting caught and causing injury.

• Strong winds can result in the product being blown away or damaged. If strong winds are predicted the product 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 product, please consider the following:

  • At least four people must be evenly spaced around the frame to lift the trampolineoff the ground.
  • The product must be carried horizontally.
  • 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 product 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 recommend this trampoline for children under 3 years of age.
• The trampoline can be only 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 took off 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.

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 center 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 an 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 coordination 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 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.
