Getting injured on a trampoline is not something we strive to do when using one. A little common sense goes a long way to preventing some of the most common trampoline injuries which can result in broken bones etc...
Colliding with another person. Almost 3/4 of trampoline injuries occur in exactly this way. How to avoid it? Take turns!
Landing incorrectly when jumping or trying stunts. How to avoid it? Start slowly when learning a new stunt and make sure it is within the jumpers ability. No medals will be won in the backyard for attempting a triple lindy or such, but overdoing it can result in preventable injury.
Falling or jumping off of the trampoline and breaking, twisting ankle or leg(s). Well not jumping off of the trampoline onto hard ground should be one way to avoid breaking a bone when jumping off of a trampoline. Getting trampoline pads to go around the trampoline and a safety net are also important safety items that can eliminate this risk.
Falling on trampoline springs or metal frame, ouch! This can also be prevented by having a safety net and trampoline pads. Get a quality trampoline that comes with the safety net all around.
So if we just use the trampoline with one person at a time and avoid flips that can cause neck injury or even paralysis, have the trampoline pads installed around the perimeter of the trampoline and/or a good safety net and do not allow young kids to use the trampoline unsupervised.
Avoiding all of this advice will surely increase the likelihood of getting injured on a trampoline. Hopefully some of these safety ideas can be implemented so you can enjoy the trampoline and stay safe!
