Trampoline Safety

Here are some common sense pointers to assure a safe trampoline Spring and Summer season:

First the obvious, make sure there are no holes in the trampoline and that the trampoline pads are in good shape. If you need to replace the trampoline pad, then you can get them online for quick delivery. Sometimes they need to be replaced every 3-5 years depending on use and how they are stored over the winter.

Make sure there are no obstructions near the trampoline that could cause injury and keep the underside of the trampoline clear of any stored or other items. (bad place to store outdoor furniture...). It is best to have one person on the trampoline at a time using the center of the trampoline. Remember the most trampoline injuries occur when 2 or more people use the trampoline at the same time and bump into each other. This happens more often than you think, so for serious trampolining, one at a time is best. That way the other person(s) can be spotters on trampolines without safety nets. At least you should have the safety pads as landing on a metal frame can cause serious injury. So just get some trampoline pads and avoid this.

So you can enjoy trampolining and learn new skills slowly until you become proficient. It is great fun, great exercise and a great way to get outdoors either on your own or with friends.
