not stand on the protection mat. When descending the trampoline move to the rim of the bounce mat, bend
forward and hold on the frame. Then step on the ground or ladder.
Frame and springs:
When bouncing on the trampoline keep to the centre of the bounce mat in order to reduce the risk to be injured by
landing on the frame or the springs. The springs and the frame must always be completely covered by the
protection mat. Avoid to step on the protection mat as it is not designed to be stepped on.
Loss of control:
Loosing control of the bounce can result in injuries by a improper landing on the bounce mat, the frame or the
springs or by falling off the trampoline. A controlled bounce is characterised by the fact the person lands on the
same place as he or she had jumped off. Learn the fundamental jumping techniques thoroughly before trying
difficult jumps. The risk of injury is increased by fatigue of the person jumping or by effecting a bounce which is
beyond the persons bouncing ability. Control can be regained by pulling the knees completely towards the body
while landing.
Drugs and alcohol:
The risk of injury is increased under the influence of drugs and alcohol, as these substances will impair the
reaction time, the judgement, the stereoscopic vision, the overall coordination and the motor function of a person.
Foreign objects:
Do not use the trampoline if there are pets, other persons or objects beneath the trampoline. Do not hold any
objects while jumping on the trampoline and do not place any objects on the trampoline while a person is jumping.
Remove all branches, cables etc. which are above the trampoline.`
Poor maintenance:
A poor maintenance of the trampoline raises the risk of injury. Check the trampoline for torn or worn bounce mats
and protection mats, a bent frame or missing parts, loose or broken springs and the overall stability of the
trampoline. Check the trampoline before each use and replace all missing parts immediately. The trampoline must
not be used before it has been completely repaired.
Poor weather conditions:
Only use the trampoline in good weather conditions. A wet bouncing mat is slippery. The person jumping can
loose control when jumping with strong winds.
Unlimited access to the trampoline:
Please store the ladder at a secure place when the trampoline is out of use in order to prevent children from an
unsupervised access to the trampoline.
Accident prevention:
The user's role with accident prevention:
Basic knowledge of the trampoline is indispensable for security. All users of the trampoline must have been
familiarised with the basic bounce and landing techniques before passing over to more sophisticated bounces. The
user effects a controlled bounce when he jumps off and lands at the same place. For further details see paragraph
"Basic bouncing techniques". For further information please contact a skilled trampoline coach.
The supervisor's role:
The supervising person must know all safety instructions and is responsible for their observance. If no appropriate
supervision is possible the trampoline has to be dismantled and to be stored at a secure place. It has to be covered
by a tarpaulin which is secured by a chain and a lock. The supervising person has to make sure that the users
