While playing on a trampoline is a lot of fun and can be great exercise, there is a risk of injury and children are more likely to have an accident while using a trampoline than adults. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that in 1996 approximately 83,400 children in the United States suffered trampoline-related injuries serious enough to require a visit to an emergency room.

So how can you protect yourself and your loved ones from these potential accidents while still allowing them to enjoy the fun that trampolines provide? One way is by having a trampoline safety net.

What Is a Trampoline safety net?

A trampoline safety net or trampoline enclosure is a net, usually around 6ft high, that is placed around the trampoline. That way, if someone makes an incorrect jump, they will bounce against the net instead of falling onto the ground. And where can you buy them? Although it may sound like a very rare product, they are quite easy to find and come in a range of sizes and styles suitable for round trampolines like the popular skybouncer trampoline, square or rectangular trampolines.

A search on the internet will bring up a range of brands and models. If you don’t trust the supposed quality of the product, go to a sports retailer, like Sports Authority, and ask for their line of enclosures. If it is an enclosure for your child’s trampoline, you may also find them at toy stores like WillyGoat Toyland.

Things to Consider When Buying a Trampoline safety net

Although buying a trampoline safety net should be a simple procedure, it isn’t. The first thing to consider is if the trampoline safety net that you are buying can be installed in your trampoline. There isn’t any standard on enclosures so you should be very careful with this. If you aren’t buying a trampoline safety net from the same manufacturer of your trampoline, ask the seller if their trampoline safety net can be used with your particular trampoline.

The second thing to consider is the price. Don’t go for enclosures that cost less than $100. They are a waste of money. Considering that you are placing the security of your loved ones in that add-on, it doesn’t make sense to go for a cheap option. A trampoline safety net should be made from a strong material that is enough to support at least one falling person.

Finally, make sure that the access door in the trampoline safety net can be tied. Don’t spend hundreds of dollars in an enclosure with a virtual hole in it. So, if you are a first buyer for this product, go to a retail store and check the options out by yourself. If you have had some prior experience with each product, you could also use the internet.

Then once you’ve made your selection and got it home, it’s a matter of following the trampoline safety net instruction manual to make sure that you’ve correctly added it onto your trampoline. Make sure you test it out before allowing your children to play on it. Then you can relax because now you know that your children will not hurt themselves from bouncing or falling off the trampoline. Happy bouncing!
