• Proper assembly, care and maintenance of product, safety tips, warnings, and proper techniques for jumping on your trampoline are included in this manual for your safety and an extended product life span. All users and supervisors should therefore familiarize themselves with these instructions. Anybody who chooses to use the trampoline must be aware of their own limitations with regards to performing skills on this trampoline.
• Trampoline should be assembled on grass or BSI approved safety matting.

2.2 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 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 overhanging 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: 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.

2.3 Tips to reduce the risk of accidents

In order to reduce the risk of accident the "TRAMPOLINE USER" should:

• Always remain in control of their jumps and body position at all times.
• Not attempt to perform skills that are beyond their own level of competence.
• Read and understand the jump by taking off and landing in the middle of the trampoline.
• Always control their jump by taking off and landing in the middle of the trampoline.
• Always jump vertically and refrain from bouncing towards the springs in any direction.
• Always consult a professionally certified trampoline instructor before attempting anything beyond basic techniques.

In order to reduce the risk of accident the "SUPERVISOR" should:

• Fully understand and enforce all the safety rules and guidelines.
• Advise the trampoline user and provide knowledge in what they are doing right and wrong to ensure the safety of trampoline user.
• Be aware and advise the trampoline user of all the safety warnings.

IMPORTANT: If the Trampoline can not be supervised there should be a method for securing it and preventing anyone from using the product until supervision is available.

2.4 Trampoline Safety Instructions

ADVISORY PRECAUTIONS WHILST USING THE TRAMPOLINE

• Do not use trampoline if you have consumed alcohol or narcotic substances
• Never jump onto or off the trampoline and never use the trampoline as a means to bounce onto or into another object.
• Always learn the basic bounce and master each type of bounce before trying more difficult types of bounces. Review the basic skills section to learn how to do the basics.
  To stop your bounce, flex your knees when you land on your feet.
• Always be in control when you are bouncing on the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land at the same spot that you took off from. If at any time you feel out of control, stop bouncing immediately.
• Do not jump or bounce for prolonged periods of time of too high for a number of jumps. Keep your eyes on the mat to maintain control. If you do not, you could lose your balance.
• Never have more than 1 person on the trampoline at any one time.

ADVISORY PRECAUTIONS WHILST SUPERVISING TRAMPOLINE

IMPORTANT: Familiarise yourself with the basic jumps and safety rules. To prevent and reduce the risk of injuries, ensure that all safety rules are enforced and the new users learn the basic bounces before trying more advanced techniques.

• ALL USERS need to be supervised, regardless of skill level or age.
• Never use the trampoline when it is wet, damaged, dirty or wore out. The trampoline should be inspected before use.
• Keep all objects that could interfere during use away from the trampoline at all times. Be aware of what is overhead, underneath and around the trampoline.
• To prevent unsupervised and unauthorized use, the trampoline should be secured at all time.

2.5 Accident classification & identification

USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS:

DO NOT consume any alcohol or take any drugs (this includes medication that could affect the users co-ordination) when using this trampoline. This is considered highly dangerous since these foreign substances impair your judgements, reaction time and overall physical co-ordination.

MULTIPLE USERS:

If you have multiple users (more than one person on the trampoline at any one time), you increase the chance of being injured. Injuries can occur when you fly off the trampoline, lose control, collide with other jumper(s), or land on the springs.

STRIKING THE SPRING FRAME:

When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the centre of the trampoline mat. This will reduce the risk of being injured by landing on the spring frame. Always keep the frame pads 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:

DO NOT try difficult maneuvers until you have mastered the basics. If you do not follow these guidelines, you increase the risk of someone being injured.
