Trampoline Safety Tips

When you think about using a trampoline, it's easy to imagine lots of fun and laughter on balmy summer's evening.  However, there is a downside to using a trampoline that you may not envisage.  Accidents do happen but thankfully there are steps that you can take to minimize the chance of anything happening to your family. 

There are many injuries suffered needlessly on trampolines each year because proper safety regulations and guidelines are not followed as well as they should be. One such guideline for your trampoline is a trampoline safety pad. This small addition to your backyard trampoline apparatus can save serious injury.

The Basics of Safety

In order to understand what is needed in terms of trampoline safety, we need to understand why injuries are occurring on trampolines in the first place. Information on trampoline injuries is available on the internet and can be quite revealing in terms of the different causes of these injuries and the seriousness of them. One source that operates in the best interest of the consumer and parent is the Consumer Product Safety Review. A quick search with any internet search engine will unearth several websites that offer the Consumer Product Safety Review links.

Essentially, the majority of trampoline injuries occur because of a collision on the trampoline between users, improper landing while jumping or doing stunts on the trampoline, falling directly off the trampoline, or falling on the trampoline springs or the frame. These injury causes, therefore, speak to a bigger problem of leaving trampoline users unsupervised on the trampoline and without the proper safety equipment, especially the trampoline safety pad.

With a trampoline safety pad, the trampoline owner can cover the edges and spring area of the trampoline that causes the majority of these injuries. It is also recommended that a trampoline enclosure be purchased to prevent people from leaving the trampoline area involuntarily and crashing to the ground or landing improperly. Ensure that the trampoline is placed far away from any trees or other dangerous objects that may obstruct the jumping taking place on the trampoline.

The trampoline safety pad is made of high-density closed cell foam that is generally inches thick based on customer specifications and needs. These pads are wide enough to cover the gap between the edge of the “jump surface” on the trampoline and the spring area, covering the springs as well to prevent injury from falling on them. These pads are generally vinyl covered and water resistant, so no special cover is required during stormy weather.
