performed flawlessly and with constant jump control. If a type of jump is that
exceeds the current skills of the jumper is attempted, the risk of losing control
increases. To regain control of the jump and finish the jump, bend your knees
deeply when landing.
Under the influence of drugs or alcohol: The probability of injury increases if the
jumper is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These substances weaken
the reaction time, judgement, spatial orientation, coordination, and motor skills
of the person in question.
Collision with objects: If other persons, animals or objects are under the
trampoline while someone is jumping on it, the probability of injury increases.
Jumping on the trampoline while holding or wearing an object, especially a
sharp or fragile object, increases the likelihood of injury. If the trampoline is
too close under above-ground stretched power lines, tree branches or other
obstacles, the likelihood of injury increases.
Poor maintenance of the trampoline: Jumpers can be injured if the trampoline
is used in poor condition. A broken spring mat, a bent frame, missing springs
or a missing frame pad must be replaced before anyone can jump on the
trampoline. The trampoline should be checked before each use.
Weather conditions: A wet trampoline mat is too slippery to jump on safely.
Gusty or strong winds can result in a loss of control when jumping. To reduce
the likelihood of injury, only use the trampoline under appropriate weather
conditions.
3.2. WAYS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
It is the job of the jumper to avoid accidents:
Instructions for the trampoline user is a must for safety. Trampoline users must first
learn how to perform a low controlled jump and the basic landing positions and
combinations before moving on to advanced jumping exercises. Jumpers must
know why they need to master their jump before they can practice other movements. A
controlled jump can only be made when you land on the same spot from which you
jumped. The first lesson is understanding the correct sequence in the development of
jumping skills on a trampoline. For more information or training materials, please consult
a qualified trampoline instructor.
The role of the supervisor is to avoid an accident:
It is the responsibility of the supervisor of the trampoline user to ensure reasonable and
experienced supervision. The rules and warnings that are placed in this manual must
therefore be known and enforced in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents and
injuries and also to teach the trampoline user about them. In times when supervision
is not possible or is insufficient, it may be necessary to dissemble the trampoline and
store it safely elsewhere, or ensure a different type of protection against unauthorised
use.
