Spring-based trampolines have metal coil springs that can pinch or injure a jumper.
The frame on a spring-based trampoline introduces a hard surface into the jumping area. Landing on the frame can result in fractures, lacerations and head injuries.
The pads on spring-based trampolines do not protect from injury, lose much of their shock-absorbency after the first impact and have the shortest lifespan of any part on the trampoline.
Spring-based trampolines enclosures use steel poles to support a rigid net. A jumper may collide with the steel pole, causing injury. Or slide down the net and land on the frame and springs.

Multiple jumpers increase the risk of injuries, tgoma helps encourages one at a time play with games and apps designed for single user fun!
Untrained jumpers run the risk of landing awkwardly.
When jumping, leave the toys outside the trampoline. Toys and other objects on the trampoline introduce tripping hazards that you could hurt yourself on.
Keep an eye on young jumpers to ensure they are jumping safely.
Do not allow children or pets underneath the trampoline when someone is jumping.
Take the time to learn the basics of jumping; this will help you stay in control.
Always enter and exit the trampoline using a ladder or with the help of an adult.
Talk to your kids about the importance of using the trampoline safely.
While Rover & Whiskers might want a turn they can scratch your trampoline mat and it is best if they stay on the ground.
Currently there are few mandatory trampoline standards. This means that in most countries manufacturers have no obligation to ensure minimum levels of quality and safety. In North America major retailers require testing to confirm that the items they sell are made to standard.
On a Springfree Trampoline, impact zones have been engineered out of the jumping area. Our SoftEdge is 30 times softer than existing standards for padding over springs on traditional trampolines.
We have compiled current trampoline standards from around the world for your reference.
