INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE

Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be on the fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic bounces) until you can do each skill with ease and control.
To brake a bounce, all you need to do is flex your knees sharply before they come in contact with the mat of the trampoline. This technique should practiced while you are learning each of the basic bounces. The skill of braking should be used whenever you lose balance or control of your jump.
Always learn the simplest bounce first and be consistent with the control of your bounce before moving on to more difficult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your take off point and landing point is the same spot on the mat. If you move up to the next bounce without first mastering the previous, you increase your chances of getting injured.
Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your chances of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and then allow others to join in on the fun! Never have more than one person bouncing on the trampoline.
Jumpers should wear t-shirt, shorts or sweats, and regulation gymnastics shoes, heavy socks, or be bare foot. If you are just beginning, you may want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to protect against scrapes and abrasions until you master correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole shoes, such as tennis shoes, on the trampoline as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material.
You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount properly, you should PLACE your hand on the frame and either step or roll up onto the frame, over the springs, and onto the trampoline mat. You should always remember to place your hands onto the frame while mounting or dismounting. Do not step directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad. To dismount properly, move over to the side of the trampoline and place your hand onto the frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should be assisted when mounting and dismounting the trampoline.
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting injured. The key to safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various bounces. Never try to out-bounce another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone without supervision.

ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION

Mounting and Dismounting: Be very careful when getting on and off the trampoline. DO NOT mount the trampoline by grabbing the frame pad, stepping onto the springs, or by jumping onto the mat of the trampoline from any object (i.e. a deck, roof, or ladder). This will increase your chances of getting injured! DO NOT dismount by jumping off the trampoline and landing on the ground regardless of the makeup of the ground. If small children are playing on the trampoline, they may need help in mounting and dismounting.
Use of Alcohol or Drugs: DO NOT consume any alcohol or drugs when using this trampoline! This will increase your chances of getting injured since these foreign substances impairs your judgements, reaction time, and overall physical coordination.
Striking the Frame of Springs: When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the center of the mat. This will reduce your risk of getting injured by landing on the frame or springs. Always keep the frame pad covering the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it was not intended to support the weight of a person.
Loss of Control: DO NOT try difficult manoeuvres, or any manoeuvres until you have mastered the previous manoeuvre, or if you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase your risk of getting injured by landing on the frame, springs, or off the trampoline completely because you might lose control of your jump. 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.
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 getting your neck or back broken, which will result in death or paralysis.
Foreign Objects: DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets/animals, other people, or any objects underneath or into 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 anyone is playing on it. Please be aware of what is overhead when you are playing on the trampoline. Tree limbs, wires, or other objects located over the trampoline will increase your chances of getting injured.
Poor trampoline maintenance: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of injury. The trampoline should be checked before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mats, loose or broken springs and the overall stability of the trampoline.
Weather Conditions: Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. Do not use if the mat of the trampoline is wet, the jumper could slip and injure him or herself. If it is too windy, jumpers could lose control.
Limiting Access: When the trampoline is not in use, always store the access ladder in a secure place so that unsupervised children cannot play on the trampoline.

TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK ACCIDENTS
Jumper’s role in accident prevention
The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more difficult manoeuvres until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce.
Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and take off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified trampoline instructor.

Supervisor’s Role in Accident Prevention
Supervisor need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline. If supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline could be stored in a secure place, disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarpaulin that can be locked or secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the safety placard is placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.

Check and maintenance of the main parts (frame, suspension system, mat and padding) at the beginning of each season and also regular intervals. If these checks are not carried out, the trampoline could become dangerous. Please follow the guidelines listed below:
This trampoline is designed to withhold a certain amount of weight and use. Please make sure that only one person at any one time uses the trampoline. Jumpers should either wear socks or be barefoot when using the trampoline. Please be aware that street shoes or tennis shoes should NOT be worn while using the trampoline. In order to prevent the trampoline mat from getting cut or damaged please do not allow any pets onto the mat. Also, jumpers should remove all sharp objects from their person prior to using the trampoline. Any type of sharp or pointed objects should be kept off the trampoline mat at all times.
