Bouncing on a trampoline is a fun way for kids and adults to burn off energy, practice stunts, and enjoy active play in a controlled environment. However, trampoline jumping carries risks, and following safety rules is crucial to ensure a safe experience for everyone. Here are the key guidelines to keep in mind:
Jumping Techniques
When jumping on a trampoline, it's important to follow these safety rules:
Avoid Jumping Too High or Hard
Jumping excessively high or hard can throw you off balance and increase the risk of injury. Keep your jumps moderate, starting slow and gradually building up to more intense bounces as you get comfortable.
Fall Correctly
If you lose control and fall, always protect your head by tucking your chin. Try to roll into the trampoline rather than landing on your limbs. Avoid sticking out your arms or hands to break your fall.
Roll and Flip with Caution
Flipping and rolling on the trampoline can be fun but should be done with caution. Make sure you are comfortable with these movements before attempting them, and only do them in a safe, controlled manner.
No Rough-Housing or Aggressive Play
Rough-housing, wrestling, racing, tackling, shoving, or playing tag is prohibited. These activities can quickly lead to accidents and injuries, so focus on safe bouncing instead.
Wear Non-Slip Bounce! Socks
For added safety, all jumpers must wear the provided non-slip Bounce! socks. These socks provide better traction and reduce the risk of slipping on the trampoline.
Avoid Climbing on Walls or Nets
Climbing on the trampoline walls or nets is dangerous and not allowed. These structures are not designed for climbing and can cause injuries. Stick to the designated bouncing areas.
No Sitting or Resting on the Trampoline or Pads
Trampoline areas are meant for active play. Do not sit or rest on the trampoline or pads, as this can lead to accidents. Always stay on your feet and be ready to jump.
Trampoline Etiquette
The way you behave on the trampoline is just as important as how you jump. Keep these etiquette rules in mind:
Clean Out Your Pockets
Before jumping, remove any loose items from your pockets, such as phones or sharp objects. These can become hazards if they fall out or get caught in the trampoline.
Check for Clear Space
Always ensure there is enough space around you before you start jumping. If the trampoline is crowded, choose a less busy area to avoid colliding with others.
Pay Attention
Stay aware of your surroundings while jumping. Watch out for other jumpers and be mindful of younger children who may be closer to the ground. Avoid bouncing into, over, or on top of others.
Exit Properly
When it's time to leave the trampoline, do so carefully. The transition from the trampoline to solid ground can be disorienting, so take your time and avoid rushing.
Supervision of Children
Children must always be supervised while using the trampoline. Parents should stay close to ensure safety, especially since kids can get overly excited and forget the rules. Supervision is key to preventing accidents and ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
