Testing the trampoline
After assembling the trampoline it is important that you perform the following safety checks:
- Using a screw driver check if all the screws are tightly secured.
-Look underneath the trampoline and check if all the springs are hooked securely to the frame and the triangular
rings.
- Move the trampoline around and check the sturdiness of the frame.
- Using your two hands put your body weight on one section of the trampoline and release to check that the frame
is even.
- Inspect the protection mats and check if they completely cover the springs and the frame.
- Make sure that the springs of the pads are tied securely.
Enclosure Net Safety Check
- Check whether the net poles are tightly fitted into the jackets and check the sturdiness of the poles by shaking
the trampoline.
- Check the enclosure net and the pole jacket for any tearing in the seams or the fabrics.
- Check whether the zip fastener and the entrance hooks function properly.
- Check whether all enclosure hooks are attached to the triangular loops underneath the trampoline.
Basic bouncing techniques
An unskilled bouncing of the trampoline increases the danger of injury. It is therefore important that you
learn the fundamental bounces before using the trampoline.
The basic bounce
- Start from a standing position, feet shoulder width apart head and eyes
pointing to the mat
- Swing your arms forward and up and around in a circular motion
- Bring your feet together while you are in midair your toes pointing
downward.
- Land on the mat keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
The braking manoeuvre
- Occasionally you may lose control of your jump.
- Performing the braking manoeuvre will allow you to regain control of the jump and balance.
- Start with a basic bounce.
- Bend your knees sharply while landing.
The hands and knees bounce
- Start with a low controlled basic bounce
- Land on your hands and knees keeping your back straight.
- Emphasis should be put at a good four-point landing rather than on the jumping height
Knee bounce
- Start with a low controlled basic bounce
- Land on your knees keeping your back and body straight and use your arms
to maintain balance.
- Bounce back to the basic bounce position by swinging your arms up.
