3. 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 trampo-
line 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 overall physical coordination.
Striking the Frame of Springs: When playing on the trampoline, STAY in the center of the mat. This will
reduce your risk of getting injured by landing on the frame or springs. Always keep the frame pad covering
the frame of the trampoline. DO NOT jump or step onto the frame pad directly since it was not intended to
support the weight of a person.
Loss of Control: DO NOT try difficult manoeuvres, or any manoeuvres until you have mastered the
previous manoeuvre, or if you are just learning how to jump on a trampoline. If you do, you will increase your
risk of getting injured by landing on the frame, springs, or off the trampoline completely because you might
lose control of your jump. A controlled jump is considered landing on the same spot that you took off from. If
you do lose control when you are jumping on the trampoline, bend your knees sharply when you land and
this will allow you to regain control and stop your jump.
Somersaults (Flips): DO NOT PERFORM somersaults of any type (backwards or forwards) on this trampo-
line. If you make a mistake when trying to perform a somersault, you could land on your head or neck. This
will increase your chances of getting your neck or back broken, which will result in death or paralysis.
Foreign Objects: DO NOT use the trampoline if there are pets/animals, other people, or any objects under-
neath or into the trampoline. This will increase the chances of an injury occurring. DO NOT hold any foreign
objects in your hand and DO NOT place any objects on the trampoline while anyone is playing on it. Please
be aware of what is overhead when you are playing on the trampoline. Tree limbs, wires, or other objects
located over the trampoline will increase your chances of getting injured.
Weather Conditions: Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. Do not use if
the mat of the trampoline is wet, the jumper could slip and injure him or herself. If it is too windy, jumpers
could lose control.
Limiting Access: When the trampoline is not in use, always store the access ladder in a secure place so
that unsupervised children cannot play on the trampoline.
