OWNER’S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
The supervisor or owner must teach the fundamentals, supervise the users, and enforce the rules. Strict supervision and
enforcement of the rules will help minimize the likelihood of accidents or injuries. The supervisor must be in direct charge
of any activity on the trampoline.
Nearly every activity has rules or regulations which govern play or exercise. The rules set forth in this manual may not, by
themselves, make such an activity safe. However, it is the responsibility of all concerned to see that the rules become an
integral part of the activity. Participants should not only know what the rules say, but should understand the reason
behind each rule. The rules should be understood by the participant early in the activity and periodically reviewed. Strict
compliance with the following basic rules is the best known method for accident prevention.
RULES
WARNING: USING THIS TRAMPOLINE EXPOSES YOU TO THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING PERMA-
NENT PARALYSIS OR EVEN DEATH FROM LANDING ON THE BACK, NECK OR HEAD. THIS RISK EXISTS EVEN
IF YOU LAND ON THE TRAMPOLINE MAT (BED).
1. Read and understand the User’s Manual and all materials furnished with this trampoline before using.
2. Use this trampoline only with mature, knowledgeable supervision.
3. This trampoline is not a gymnastic device. Do not perform or allow any person to perform any gymnastic
maneuvers such as flips or somersaults. Jumping and jogging are the only activities to be conducted on this
trampoline.
4. Permit only one person at a time on the trampoline. Two (2) or more people create additional risks of injury due to
collisions, being bounced off the trampoline, and unexpected responses by the trampoline mat (bed).
5. DO NOT use the trampoline when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
6. DO NOT use the trampoline as a springboard to or from other objects.
7. Stop your bounce by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline mat (bed).
8. Secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
9. Learn fundamental bounces and body control for jumping or jogging.
10. Step or climb on and off the trampoline. DO NOT JUMP ON OR OFF THE TRAMPOLINE.
11. Avoid bouncing too high or for too long. Always control your bounce.
12. Focus your eyes on the trampoline. Failure to do so may result in a lack of balance and control.
13. Keep objects away that could interfere with the performer. Maintain adequate overhead clearance. There must be
no obstructions beneath the trampoline.
14. Use only when the trampoline mat is clean and dry. A wet mat is extremely slick and prevents a controlled bounce,
as well as a stable landing. A worn or damaged mat should be replaced immediately.
