Check to see if the safety net is worn or if there are any loose or
missing parts every time you want to use the trampoline. There are
some circumstances where the risk of injury is higher, in particular:
• If there are tears, rips or holes in the safety net, its accessories
or the mat.
• If the safety net is slack.
• If the seams are loose or the safety net is worn.
• If parts of the frame are bent or damaged, for example, the legs.
• If there are broken, damaged or missing springs.
• If the edge protector is not being used, is broken or
incorrectly assembled.
• If any parts are sticking out (particularly those with sharp edges)
on the frame, the springs or the trampoline.
WARNING! If you discover any of the above or anything else
that could put people at risk of injury, the trampoline must
be dismantled or put away and may not be used until
the problem(s) has (have) been solved.
WHERE TO PUT YOUR TRAMPOLINE
There should be at least 8 metres of space above the trampoline and at least 2 metres
free around the edge. Make sure that there are no dangerous objects such as branches,
other objects (e.g. swings or pools), cables, walls, fences, etc., close to the trampoline.
Remember the following when deciding where to put your trampoline:
• The trampoline must be placed on an even surface.
• The area must be bright or illuminated.
• There should be no objects underneath the trampoline.
• Do not place on asphalt or bury into the ground.
• No unauthorised people should be able to use the trampoline when it is not in use.
The person in charge must notify anyone using the trampoline of the rules set out
in this manual. The person in charge must be an adult. This person must always
be present when the trampoline is in use.
