5. Jumping instructions

5.1 Before you start jumping

• Objects, animals or persons are prohibited underneath the BERG trampoline.
• Only use the BERG trampoline when it is clean and dry.
• Objects and other obstacles that can interfere with jumping should be prohibited from the jumping area.

5.2 Jumping instructions

• Proper movement while using the BERG trampoline requires good posture. Correct posture and balance are achieved by tensing the muscles.
• Good posture ensures safe usage of the BERG trampoline. When jumping, the body is exposed to shocks that require correct absorption. By tensing your muscles, you obtain better control over your balance and this results in more the jumping resilience. In contrast, a more relaxed posture leads to loss of energy and jumping resilience. Begin with the basic jumps and jumping positions and only increase complexity when mastered. To come to a stop position when jumping, bend knees when your feet touch the mat.
  • Always jump in the middle of the mat. Avoid jumping on mat edge and trampoline padding.
• To come to a stop position when jumping, bend and flex knees when your feet touch the mat. Learn this skill before attempting others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A variety of jumping techniques can be carried out solo or in series and/or combinations between bounces.
• Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping control with proper landing position in middle of mat. From a safety perspective, control is more important than height.
• To ensure and maintain control while jumping, ensure jumping posture is straight, head is in upright position and eyes are focused on the jump mat.

5.3 Some basic jumps

Basic bounce

Upright position, head held in upright position. Eyes focused on the jump mat. While jumping upwards, swing arms forward and in circular motion and point your toes downwards.

• Should the soil hinder digging a hole, best to choose another location or consult a professional excavation company to provide consultation.
