Poor Maintenance of Trampoline: A trampoline in poor condition will increase your risk of getting
injured. Please inspect the trampoline before each use for bent steel tubes, torn mat, loose or broken
springs, and overall stability of the trampoline.
Weather Conditions: Please be aware of the weather conditions when using the trampoline. 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 children cannot play on the trampoline unsupervised.
TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK ACCIDENTS
Jumper's role in accident prevention
The key here is to stay in control of your jumps. DO NOT move onto more complicated, more difficult
maneuvers until you have mastered the basic, fundamental bounce.
Education is also key to safety and very important. Read, understand, and practice all safety
precautions and warnings prior to using the trampoline. A controlled jump is when you land and take
off from the same location. For additional safety tips and instructions, contact a certified trampoline
instructor.
Supervisor's Role in Accident Prevention
Supervisors need to understand and enforce all safety rules and guidelines. It is the responsibility of
the supervisor to provide knowledgeable advice and guidance to all jumpers of the trampoline. If
supervision is unavailable or inadequate, the trampoline could be stored in a secure place,
disassembled to prevent unauthorized use, or covered with a heavy tarp that can be locked or
secured with lock or chains. The supervisor is also responsible to ensure that the safety placard is
placed on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed of these warnings and instructions.
TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
JUMPERS

of bounces. Review the Basic Skills Section to learn how to do the basics
 To stop your bounce, flex your knees when you land on the mat with your feet
