The popularity of garden trampolines in the
UK for 2008 is still as high as ever and with this brings
the potential for more accidents. Jump for Fun are
commited to increasing awareness on the safe use of your trampoline. Jump for
Fun are clear on the correct usage of trampolines in the garden and each one
of our products comes pre-packed with a guide for installation and safety.
Advantages:
Using a round garden trampoline can be fun, and help with balance and spacial
awareness, you can also benefit from the health aspects of a cardiovascular
work out as part of a keep fit program.
Round Trampolines:
The design of a round trampoline is such that when a user jumps up and down,
they are sent back into the centre of the jump surface, the problem with this
occurs when more than one jumper is on the trampoline, this is how a majority
of trampoline accidents occur because all the users maybe sent back into the
middle at the same time, increase the chances of a collision, a smaller child
with less body weight is at the highest risk in this situation. Jump for Fun
only recommend ONE jumper at a time.
Safety Nets:
Jump for Fun offer a discount when you purchase a safety net with a trampoline.
Whilst the safety net will add peace of mind to you as a parent, it is still
NOT a guarantee that your child is 100% secure. Whilst Jump for Fun's products
are made of high grade materials we recomment that your child should be supervised
at all times when using their trampoline for obvious safety reason's and especially
if you have not purchased a safety net, supervision will also reduce the chances
of miss use.
Tricks & Somersaults:
A garden trampoline is designed with fun and exercise in mind and is not for
professional use, if your child want's to learn more about trampoline skills,
we fully recommend that you enlist them into a local gymnastics club where
they are supervised by a professional who can educate and teach the skill set
necessary to accomplish complex manouvers on a professional trampoline ONLY.
Jump for Fun wish all our customers many
years of trampolining fun, following the guidelines set out
in our documentation should help to reduce the risk of any
unwanted accidents.
