WARNING:
7. Use instructions
• Do not attempt or allow somersaults. Landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury,
paralysis, or death, even when landing in the middle of the bed.
• Do not allow more than one person on the trampoline. Use trampoline only with mature,
knowledgeable supervision.
• Trampolines over 20 in. (51cm) tall are not recommended for use by children under 6 years of
age.
• Inspect the trampoline before each use. Make sure the frame padding is correctly and
securely positioned. Replace any worn, defective, or missing parts.
• Make sure the frame padding is correctly and securely positioned.
• Climb on and off the trampoline. It is a dangerous practice to jump from the trampoline to
the floor or ground when dismounting, or to jump onto the trampoline when mounting. Do not
use the trampoline as a springboard to other objects.
• Stop bounce by flexing knees as feet come in contact with the trampoline bed. Learn this skill
before attempting others.
• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced
skills. A variety of trampoline activities can be carried out by performing the basic
fundamentals in various series and combinations, performing one fundamental aer another,
with or without feet bounces between them.
• Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until bounce control and repeated landing in the center of
the trampoline can be accomplished. Control is more important than height.
• While keeping the head erect, focus eyes on the trampoline toward the perimeter. This will
help control bounce.
• Avoid bouncing when tired. Keep turns short.
• Properly secure the trampoline when not in use. Protect it against unauthorized use. If a
trampoline ladder is used, the supervisor should remove it from the trampoline when leaving
the area to prevent unsupervised access by children under 6 years.
• Do not use or stand near the trampoline in windy or gusty conditions. A trampoline can
become airborne when exposed to sustained wind of gusting wind conditions. This can result
in serious injury, paralysis, of death, as well as property damage. To reduce these risks,
disassemble the trampoline and enclosure and store them until weather conditions improve.
Anchoring a trampoline frame may prevent the trampoline from moving as a result of the
wind, but even anchored trampolines can become airborne of damaged. Consult a qualified
contractor to determine what type of anchor works best in your location.

the trampoline.
• Do not use the trampoline while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
