Garden Trampoline Safety
Garden trampolines are becoming the must have accessory for the garden and they are
fun for all the family. It is important that trampolines are used in a responsible
manner and that safety remains of paramount importance.
Trampolines offer years of fun and enjoyment but it is important not to forgot the basic safety precautions that should be followed when using trampolines.
Safety First
Staying safe and having fun on trampolines obviously aren’t mutually exclusive and by adhering to the following safety tips, you can ensure that a fun time is had by all when trampolining without compromising safety:
- Trampolines should be placed in a clear area where there are no potential hazards e.g. trees, fences, clothes lines and hedges.
- Don’t place trampolines on hard mud or concrete areas without placing appropriate safety mattresses in place.
- Ideally, trampolines should be placed on soft, energy absorbing ground such as grass, sand or bark.
- Before each use, check trampolines for damage such as holes or damage to the frame and check the leg braces are securely in place.
- Don’t have more than one person on the trampoline at once as this increases the risk of accidents/injury.
- Don’t bounce from the trampoline to the floor or other objects. Climb down carefully.
- Don’t jump from other objects onto the trampoline. Climb on at the side of the trampoline frame.
- Ensure that trampolines have a ‘safe fall zone’ perimeter of around 2.5m surrounding the trampoline. This area should be completely free of any objects.
