METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION
THE SUPERVISOR'S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
It is the responsibility of the supervisors of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and mature supervision. They
need to know and enforce all of the rules and warnings printed in this manual to minimize the likelihood of accidents
and injuries. They also need to inform users of these rules. During periods of time when supervision is unavailable
or inadequate, this may require that the trampoline is taken down, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured
against unauthorized use. Another option that may be considered is covering the trampoline with a heavy tarp
that can be secured with locks and chains. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to make sure that the placard
with trampoline safety instructions is kept posted on the trampoline and that jumpers are informed about these
instructions.
THE JUMPER'S ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
Education on the part of the user is a must for safety. Users must first learn a low, controlled bounce and then learn
the basic landing positions and combinations before proceeding to intermediate skills. Jumpers must understand
why they have to master "control" before they can start thinking about other moves. Understanding the proper
progression of skills in jumping on a trampoline must be the first lesson. Review this manual to learn about the basic
techniques for using the trampoline. For further information or additional instructional materials, contact a certified
trampoline instructor.
TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For the Supervisor
Read the instructions before using the trampoline. Enforce all of the safety rules. Become familiar with the
information in this manual so you can help new users learn basic jumps and all users follow trampoline safety. All
trampoline users must have mature, knowledgeable supervision, regardless of their skill or age. This trampoline is
not recommended for use by children under 6 years of age. Inspect the trampoline before using it. Do not use the
trampoline without the frame pad securely in place to cover the frame. Do not use the trampoline in wet or windy
conditions. A worn or damaged mat, spring, or frame piece should be replaced immediately.
Jumping
Learn fundamental jumps and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. Know your own limits
in performing each of the trampoline jumps. Study this manual to learn how to do basic jumps. Stop your bounce
by flexing your knees as your feet come in contact with the trampoline mat. Learn this skill before attempting any
others.
