(n) No buckles or jewellery should be worn, as these could damage the trampoline mat and cause
injury to you.
(o) Do not wear shoes while bouncing on the trampoline.
HOW TO USE YOUR TRAMPOLINE
Always bounce at the centre of the trampoline mat. Bouncing near the edge of the trampoline
mat can lead to injury and can also stretch the springs. The frame pad is not designed nor
intended to support the weight of the trampoline user. Do not step or jump directly onto the
frame pad.
Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land consistently in
the middle of the trampoline mat.
To regain control and stop your jump, bend your knees quickly when you land.
Allow each jumper a brief turn on the trampoline. Extended bouncing exposes an over tired
user to an increased risk of injury. Longer turns tend to lessen the interest of others waiting to
jump.
Do not use the trampoline when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The trampoline mat is several feet from the ground. Jumping off the trampoline to the ground
or any other surface may result in injury. Jumping onto the trampoline from a roof, deck, or
other object also represents a risk of injury. Smaller children may need assistance getting up
on or down from the trampoline. Mounting and dismounting properly should be a strict rule
from the very beginning. Users should climb onto the trampoline by placing their hands on the
frame and stepping or rolling up onto the frame, across the springs, and onto the mat (bed).
Do not step directly on the frame pad or grasp the frame pad when mounting or dismounting
the trampoline. Users should always place their hands on the frame while mounting or
dismounting. To dismount, jumpers should walk to the side of the mat (bed), bend over and
place one hand on the frame, then step from the mat to the ground.
Injury may result from hitting the frame or falling through the springs while jumping or getting
on or off the trampoline. Stay in the centre of the trampoline mat when jumping. BE SURE TO
KEEP THE FRAME PAD IN PLACE TO COVER THE FRAME AT ALL TIMES. Do not step
or jump directly onto the frame pad as it is not designed nor intended to support the weight of
the user.
FUNDAMENTAL TRAMPOLINE SKILLS
BASIC SKILLS - Bouncing
The most important thing about bouncing is that it should be done with control in the centre of
the bed. The basic bounce should always being low. High, reckless bouncing should never
be allowed.
The Stop Bounce
This technique allows the jumper to gain control by stopping quickly. It is achieved by
keeping the feet in contact with the bed, and absorbing the rebound of the trampoline with the
knees and waist. This skill should be the first skill learnt and should be employed whenever
you feel out of balance, or land away from the center area.
To learn the stop bounce:
(a) Stand in centre of the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
(b) Attempt about three easy bounces, keep them low and controlled.
(c) Focus your eyes towards the perimeter of the trampoline while bouncing in order to keep
your balance.
(d) Stop the bounce by bending at your knees and hips on contact with the bed.
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go
up to a set position about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced
position until you start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again
as you bounce up (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Arm Action
Bounce variations
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show three variations, the tuck, the pike, and the straddle pike respectively. These
should be assumed at the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing position on your
feet.
Practice these simple variations and concentrate on perfect form. Make sure that your toes are
pointed and fingers are straight.
These are simple variations to the basic bounce and are very important for gaining experience in
coordinated movement.
BASIC LANDING POSITIONS
General
Positions for all drops: seat, hands and knees, and front, should first be practiced on the ground,
then in a stationary position, and only the on the trampoline bed.
Drops should be performed after “Priming” the trampoline bed. Priming is done by bending your
knees and pushing down repeatedly on the trampoline bed, thereby setting the bed in motion. The
feet stay in contact with the bed during the entire priming motion.
The seat drop
To learn the seat drop:
(a) From the standing position, prime the bed several times.
(b) Pick up your feet at the top of the last bounce, and sit down. You should land so that your body
is in a sitting position with legs straight out in front and your toes pointed. Hands should be on
the bed next to your hips. Fingers should be together and pointed toward the toes.
(c) Push on the bed with your hands to rebound up to your feet (see Figure 5).
To do this drop properly, there should be just as much weight on your hands as on your knees. Your
back should be about approximately parallel to the bed. Knees and hands should land
simultaneously, with the middle of the body landing in the centre of the trampoline. Hands should
be directly under the shoulders. Knees should be directly under the hips. Your toes should be
pointed.
To learn the hands and knees drop:
(a) Get down on your hands and knees on the bed. Make sure you have weight on both your hands
and your knees. Do not sit on your heels.
(b) Remain in this position and try to bounce. Do not rock back and forth between the hands and
knees, but develop an even landing on all four points.
(c) From the standing position, prime the bed several times. Lift upward with your hips, reach
forward with our hands, and land on all fours. Look slightly in front of your hands on landing.
Push to rebound to your feet (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Hands and Knees Drop
The Front Drop
Contact with the trampoline be should simultaneously take place with your hands, elbows, chest,
stomach, hips and knees. Knees should be bent.
You must come down level. If the landing is made first on your chest and arms, they will rebound
before your knees hit which will result in a straining action on you back. If this type of landing is
made with a traveling, diving approach there is a chance that your elbows may become skinned. If
the landing is made so that your knees and hips hit first, then they will rebound and your shoulders
and face will land heavily.
(b) As you rebound from the hands and knees, stretch so that you land on your stomach. From this
position, rebound to your hands and knees.
Step 2:
(a) Start from a standing position with knees bent so that your upper body is low and close to the
trampoline bed.
(b) Prime the bed several times.
(c) Lift hips gently upward and backward.
(d) Land in contact with the bed as described in Step 1.
(e) Push with your hands to return to the feet
Step 3:
(a) Start from a straight standing position.
(b) Prime the bed several times.
(c) Perform skill as in Step 2 (see Figure 7).
Figure 7 Front Drop
SERIES OF DROPS
Sequencing
Once you have mastered the individual bounce variations and drops, practice them in sequence. For
example: Seat drop-Hands and knees drop-Front drop, or Seat drop-Front drop-Hands and
knees drop-Seat drop.
Beginning Twisting
General
Figures 8, 9 and 10 will show you a few of the many possible twisting variation of the basic landing
positions.
(b) Finish standing with arms stretched overhead, facing the opposite direction (180 degree twist
completed).
Step 3:
Perform as in Step 2. Just before contacting feet with the trampoline bed, lift your legs to land in a
sitting position (see Figure 8).
Figure 8 Seat Drop—Half Twist—Seat Drop
Front drop-Half twist-Front Drop(AKA: Turntable)
Step 1:
(a) Begin in a hands and knees position, with hands forming the apex of a triangle, like in front
drop.
(b) Prime the bed in this position.
(c) Push backward with your hands and extend your body to land in the front drop position.
(d) Repeat several times in succession: Hands and knees drop-Front drop-Hands and knees
drop-etc.
Step 2:
Perform the movement as in Step 1. However, do it at twice the speed so as to bring your knees
inward, under your hips and out again without touching your knees on the bed.
Step 3:
Perform the movement as in Step 2. Push sideways on the trampoline bed so your body rotates.
Step 4:
From a standing position, prime the bed, then perform a front drop. Push sideway, as in Step 3, and
complete a 180 degree turn, finishing in a front drop facing the opposite position (see Figure 9).
Example: Swivel hips-perform several in a row, all twisting in one direction, or alternating
directions.
JUMPERS’ 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 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.
SUPERVISORS’ ROLE IN PREVENTING ACCIDENTS
It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) of trampoline users to provide knowledgeable and
mature supervision. They need to know and enforce all the rules and warnings set forth in
this manual in order to minimise the likelihood of accidents and injuries and to inform users of
these rules. When supervision is unavailable or inadequate, this may require that the
trampoline be disassembled, placed in a secure area, or otherwise secured against unauthorized
use. It is the responsibility of the supervisor(s) to be sure that the users are fully aware of the
safety guidelines which are printed on the pads.
These instructions are issued in the interest of child safety, and we ask you to follow our
For ease of installation, it is recommended two adults assemble the trampoline. While one adult is
connecting the relevant pieces, the other adult can assist by supporting the frame and holding the
connecting pieces in the appropriate position.
Frame Assembly
1. Lay out the parts on a clear dry level surface as shown in
Figure 1. The top rail tubes (E) should form a circle, with
the spring hole eyelets facing upwards. A T-joint (F) should
be placed between each of the top rail sections.
2. To complete the Legs assembly. Connect the Vertical
Leg Tubes (C) with the W-Shape Leg Tube (D) as
shown in Figure 2. Ensure spring loaded locking pins
are aligned with locking holes and pin locks into the
secured position.
3. Connect the top rail tube (E) by sliding the wider end
of the tube into the T-Joint (F) first. If standing on the
outside of the circle created in step 1, the wider end
should be on your left hand side. Slide the
SMALLER END (right hand side) of the next Top
Rail tube into the T Joint and follow this process
around the trampoline to form the top rail loop.
Push each section firmly to ensure both ends of the
rail pieces are firmly in position within the T Joint.
Please see Figure 3.
2. Connect the two Frame Pads (B) together by firmly
tying together the straps located at the end of each
pad. When tying, ensure the pads are spaced
appropriately so that the two ends of the pads meet
and there is no gap between the pads.
3. Place the Frame Pad on top of the trampoline. The
tying points that have connected the pad segments
should be on the underside of the unit (facing the
ground).
4. There are some bungee straps with hook at the end
provided to connect the pads to the trampoline.
Secure the hook going around the top rail to the
v-ring in correspondence as shown in Figure 4.
5. Thread the Elastic Toggle (H) through the eyelets on
6. Pull the Elastic Toggle (H) to the nearest v-ring and
secure as shown in Figure 6.
7. The recommended Safe Play Area is to be 250cm
(2.5 metres) of clear area around the perimeter of
the trampoline, free of any obstructions or
potential hazards. There should also be no
obstructions above the trampoline up to a height
of 700cm (7metres) above the jumping mat
surface.
The Safe Play Area must be on level ground, free from all structures, landscaping,
trees and branches, rocks, wires, sprinkler heads and other obstacles. Children can
be seriously injured running or colliding into such obstacles.
ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY
Pole Assembly
1. Attach the Upper Support Poles (J) and the Lower
Support Poles (K) which have both been
pre-assembled with foam (See Figure 1). Ensure
spring loaded locking pins are aligned with locking
holes and pin locks into position.
2. Slide the assembled Support Pole (J & K) done in
step 1 into the Foam Sleeve (L). Cover the entire area
of the Support Pole’s Foam. (See Fig.2).
3. Insert the Ball Cap (N) over top of Upper Support
Pole. Align holes and fasten the Ball Cap (N) to
the assembled Support Pole using Ball Cap Screw
(M). (See Figure 3)
4. Place one of each assembled Support Pole done in
step 3 at every leg of the Trampoline. One adult
can support the pole in an upright position while
the other adult attaches the u-bolts. Place the
U-Bolt Spacer (S) in between the Leg Tube and the
Support Pole. Using the U-Bolts x 2 (O), first place
the u-bolts around the Support Pole through the
U-Bolt Spacer and then slide on the U-Bolt Clamp
(P) over the Leg Tube. Fasten the U-Bolt and the
U-bolt Clamp using (Q) and (R) (See Figure 4). The
Support Poles should reach half way of the
Trampoline Legs leaving the bottom of pole foam in
the same level to the frame pad. Once the assembly
has been completed properly, the Support Poles
should look like Figure 5. If possible use an electric
screwdriver to assist.
Net Assembly
1. Stretch Net Assembly (A) out. Locate the panel with
the doorway and align the net as to where you would
like to get in and out of the trampoline. The edge with
the pre-sewn hanging loops is the top of the net.
Working your way around the unit, place each hanging
loop over the top of each ball cap. (See Figure 1)
2. Directly underneath each of the pre-sewn loop at the
net top, there is a row of sewn-in hook and loop tapes,
three or four in line. Attach these hook and loop tapes
securely to each of the pole. Adjust the net to make
sure each of the hook and loop tapes are securely
fastened. (See Figure 2)
3. At the bottom perimeter of the net, there are elastic
straps which are used to secure the base of the net to
the Trampoline. Pull the bottom of the net down to the
trampoline using the elastic straps and wrap them
under the Trampoline Top Rail Tube and hook them to
the nearest V-ring of the trampoline mat (beneath the
safety pads) as shown in Figure 3.
4. Now go around the whole enclosure to make sure all the loops, hooks and loop tapes and
elastic straps are securely attached to the poles and trampoline. Check that the enclosure is
positioned evenly around the trampoline and that it is not under strain on any particular one
point. IMPORTANT – When assembled there should not be visible/exposed metal v-rings, the
padding should lay flat on the trampoline bed with the net tucked underneath.
The assembly of the enclosure is now completed as shown below.
There is a plastic warning placard enclosed with the enclosure package. Permanently affix this
warning placard to the outside of the enclosure, next to the entrance.
(a) Adequate overhead clearance is essential. A minimum of 8 m from ground level is
recommended. Provide clearance for wires, tree limbs, and other possible hazards.
(b) Lateral clearance is essential. Place the trampoline away from walls, structures, fences, and
other play areas.
(c) Maintain a free space of minimum 2500 mm on all sides of the trampoline. This area should
not include concrete, bitumen, brick or other hard surfaces as these can cause serious injuries.
(d) Keep the trampoline on a level surface.
(e) Use the trampoline in a well-lighted area.
Please retain this information for future reference.
