INFORMATION ON USE OF THE TRAMPOLINE
Initially, you should get accustomed to the feel and bounce of the trampoline. The focus must be on the
fundamentals of your body position and you should practice each bounce (the basic bounces) until you can do
each skill with ease and control.
To brake a bounce, all you need to do is flex your knees sharply before they come in contact with the
mat of the trampoline. This technique should practiced while you are learning each of the basic bounces. The
skill of braking should be used whenever you lose balance or control of your jump.
Always learn the simplest bounce first and be consistent with the control of your bounce before
moving on to more difficult and advanced bounces. A controlled bounce is one when your take off point and
landing point is the same spot on the mat. If you move up to the next bounce without first mastering the
previous, you increase your chances of getting injured.
Do not bounce on the trampoline for extended periods of time because fatigue can increase your
chances of becoming injured. Bounce for a brief period of time and then allow others to join in on
the fun! Never have more than one person bouncing on the trampoline.
Jumpers should wear t-shirt, shorts or sweats, and regulation gymnastics shoes, heavy socks, or be barefoot. If
you are just beginning, you may want to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to protect against scrapes and
abrasions until you master correct landing positions and form. Do not wear hard sole shoes, such as tennis
shoes, on the trampoline as this will cause excessive wear on the mat material.
You should always mount and dismount properly in order to avoid injury. To mount properly, you should PLACE
your hand on the frame and either step or roll up onto the frame, over the springs, and onto the trampoline mat.
You should always remember to place your hands onto the frame while mounting or dismounting. Do not step
directly onto the frame pad or grasp the frame pad. To dismount properly, move over to the side of the trampoline
and place your hand onto the frame as a support and step from the mat to the ground. Smaller children should
be assisted when mounting and dismounting the trampoline.
Do not bounce recklessly on the trampoline since this will increase your chances of getting injured. The key to
safety and having fun on the trampoline is control and mastering the various bounces. Never try to out-bounce
another bouncer in terms of height! Never use the trampoline alone without supervision.
ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
Mounting and Dismounting: Be very careful when getting on and off the trampoline. DO NOT
mount the trampoline by grabbing the frame pad, stepping onto the springs, or by jumping onto the mat of the
trampoline from any object (i.e. a deck, roof, or ladder). This will increase your chances of getting injured! DO
NOT dismount by jumping off the trampoline and landing on the ground regardless of the makeup of the ground.
If small children are playing on the trampoline, they may need help in mounting and dismounting.
Use of Alcohol or Drugs: DO NOT consume any alcohol or drugs when using this trampoline! This will increase
your chances of getting injured since these foreign substances impairs your judgements, reaction time, and
