IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
! WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
injury, read and follow all of the warnings, precautions, and instructions in this manual before you
assemble (put together) and use the trampoline.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner and supervisors of
this trampoline to make sure all users obey the safety
instructions printed in this manual.
2. Be sure the trampoline is on a level surface before
you use it.
3. Be sure there is enough clear space above the trampoline before you use it. It is best to have at least 24 feet
of clear space above the ground. This space must be
clear of wires, tree limbs, and any other possible hazards.
4. Lateral (sidewise) clearance is very important. Place
the trampoline where it is not near walls, buildings,
fences, sidewalks, and other play areas. Always keep
a clear space on all sides of the trampoline.
5. Use the trampoline in an area with lots of light. If the
trampoline is in a shady area, you may need to use
artificial (electrical) lighting in the area.
6. Be sure to have authorization from the owners of the
trampoline. Always have someone there to supervise
when it is being used. If you use a ladder to get on the
trampoline, be sure it is removed when the trampoline
is not being used.
7. Always inspect the trampoline before it is used and
replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
(Jumpers may be hurt if the trampoline is used when
it is in poor condition.)
8. Remove any objects from under the trampoline.
9. This trampoline is made for users who do not weigh
more than 250 pounds. Children less than 6 years old
should not jump on it.
10. Do not let more than one person jump on the trampoline at the same time. Two or more people jumping
at the same time can cause someone to be badly hurt.
11. If you do not use the trampoline correctly someone
can be seriously hurt.
12. The trampoline should only be used with a proper
understanding of the safety precautions, and under
adult supervision.
13. Always climb onto and off of the trampoline. Never
jump onto it or off of it. Do not use the trampoline to
bounce you to other objects.
14. You can get hurt if you hit the frame or fall through
the springs when you get onto or off of the trampoline, or when you are jumping on it. Stay in the center
of the mat when jumping. Be sure the frame pad is
securely in place to cover the trampoline frame before
you use it. The frame pad is not made to support your
weight. Never step or jump directly onto the frame
pad.
15. The trampoline is a bouncing device that bounces
the jumper higher than he is used to jumping. It can
also cause many different body movements than the
jumper is used to. Bouncing off of the trampoline, hitting the frame or springs, or landing on the mat
wrong can cause the jumper to get hurt.
16. Do not try to do somersaults, or let someone else do
somersaults, as it can cause a broken head, neck,
back, or leg. Even if you land in the middle of the
mat, landing on your head or neck can cause you to
be badly hurt, become paralyzed, or even die.
17. Jumpers who lose control of their jump may land on
the mat wrong, land on the frame or springs, or fall
off of the trampoline. Trying to do stunts you don’t
know how to do can cause you to get hurt.
18. Do not use the trampoline if you have been using
alcohol or drugs. These things cause you to not be
able to move as fast, have poor judgment, and have
poor physical coordination.
19. Do not jump on the trampoline while you have or
are holding something, especially something that is
sharp or breakable.
20. Bounce only when the top of the mat is dry. There
should be little or no air movement. The trampoline
must not be used in gusty or strong winds.

Secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
Do not use when trampoline is wet or in a windy condition.
For the Jumper
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Avoid bouncing when tired.
Jumping
Learn the basic jumps and body positions very well before trying more difficult stunts. Study the User’s 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 (bed).
Avoid jumping too high or for too long. Always control your jump. A controlled jump is one where the take off and land spots are the
same.
Bounce in the center of the trampoline. Focus eyes on trampoline toward the perimeter mat. Failure to do so may result in a loss of
balance and control.
Take turns jumping one at a time, and always have someone watch you.
Getting on and off
Climb on to and off of the trampoline. Do not jump on or off. Do not use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects.

TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INFORMATION
In trampoline use, as in all active recreational sports, participants can be injured. However, there are steps that can
be taken to reduce the risk of injury. In this section, primary accident patterns are identified and the responsibilities
of supervisors and jumpers in accident prevention are described.
ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION
Somersaults (flips): Landing on your head or neck, even in the middle of the trampoline mat, increases the risk of a
broken back or neck, which can result in paralysis or death. Such events can occur when a jumper makes an error
trying to perform a forward or backward somersault (flip). Do not perform somersaults (flips) on this backyard
trampoline.
Multiple Jumpers: More than one jumper at a time on the trampoline increases the chance of a jumper becoming
injured by losing control of his or her jump. Jumpers may collide with one another, fall off of the trampoline, fall
onto or through the springs, or land incorrectly on the mat. The jumper weighing the least is the jumper most likely
to be injured.
Mounting and Dismounting (Getting On and Off): The trampoline mat is several feet above ground level. Jumping
from the trampoline to the ground or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a
roof, deck, or other objects also presents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting onto or down
from the trampoline. Climb carefully onto and off of the trampoline. Do not step onto the springs or the frame pad.
Do not grasp the frame pad to pull yourself onto the trampoline.
Striking the Frame or the Springs: Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while
jumping or getting onto or off of the trampoline. Stay in the center of the mat when jumping. Be sure to
keep the frame pad in place to cover the frame. The frame pad is not made or intended to support the weight of the
trampoline user. Do not step or jump directly onto the frame pad.
Loss of Control: Jumpers who lose control of their jumps may land on the mat incorrectly, land on the frame or
springs, or fall off of the trampoline. A controlled jump is one where the landing is in the same spot as the takeoff.
Before learning a more difficult stunt, you should be able to do the one before over and over with control.
Attempting a stunt beyond present skill levels increases the chance of loss of control. To regain control and stop
your jump, bend your knees sharply when you land.
Alcohol or Drug Use: The chance of injury increases when a jumper has consumed alcohol or taken drugs. These
substances impair a person’s reaction time, judgment, and physical coordination.
Encountering Objects: Jumping on a trampoline while other people, pets, or objects are underneath it will increase
the chance of getting hurt. Jumping while holding or having an object on the trampoline, particularly one that is
sharp or breakable, will increase the chance of injury. Placing a trampoline too close to overhead electrical wires,
tree limbs, or other objects can increase the chance of injury.
Poor Maintenance of the Trampoline: Jumpers may be injured if a trampoline is used when it is in poor condition. A
torn mat, bent frame, broken spring, or missing frame pad, for example, should be replaced before anyone is
allowed to jump. Inspect the trampoline before each use.
Weather Conditions: A wet trampoline mat is too slippery for safe jumping. Gusty or high winds can cause jumpers
to lose control. To reduce the chance of injury, use the trampoline only when the weather is good.
Access: To prevent access to the trampoline by unsupervised smaller children, the optional access ladder should
always be taken away and stored in a safe place when the trampoline is not in use.

METHODS OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION
The Supervisor’s Role in Preventing Accidents
It is the responsibility of the owners 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 (see step 8 on page 14) 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. Follow the rules on the placard with TRAMPOLINE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (see step 8 on page 14). 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 when it is wet or in a windy condition. A worn or damaged mat, spring, or
frame piece should be replaced immediately.
Keep objects away that could interfere with the jumper.
Secure the trampoline against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
For the Jumper
Do not use the trampoline when you have been using drugs or alcohol.
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.
