Trampoline safety
Trampolining is an exhilarating activity, but safety comes first. These are the rules we ask every owner to follow, and the warnings that matter most.
Safety rules
- One person at a time. Only one person on the trampoline at any time, to avoid collisions.
- Jump within your skill level. Stay inside your comfort zone and avoid manoeuvres that exceed your ability.
- Do not land on the rubber or padding. They are not designed to take your weight. Land and jump in the centre of the bed.
- Remove jewellery and sharp objects before getting on.
- Do not use the trampoline in strong wind, rain or storms.
Safety warnings
- Risk of injury or death. Jumping outside your skill level can cause severe injury. Always jump within your limits.
- Supervision. Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult.
- No rough play. Avoid stunts and horseplay that could lead to injury.
- Never jump off a moving trampoline.
- Medical considerations. Consult a medical professional first if you have any pre-existing health conditions.
Weight limit
Our trampolines are proven to 1000 kg. Do not exceed that. We are extending our proven-load testing, so higher rated limits are coming.
Installation and maintenance safety
Trampoline assembly should be carried out by knowledgeable adults following the supplied instructions.
Equipment is heavy and awkward. Use appropriate machinery where possible and ask for help lifting. Always wear appropriate PPE — gloves and protective eyewear — before any maintenance, repair or installation.
The bounce mat is hand woven and painted with a rubberised paint. It is durable and made to withstand UV and Australian weather, but it is not vandal proof. Keep sharp objects away from the mat.
Place the trampoline on a level surface, clear of structures, trees and other obstacles. Ensure rubber or padding fully covers the springs and surrounding area, so feet cannot fall between the springs.
Inspect the trampoline regularly for wear, loose bolts or damaged parts, and repair them promptly. It is worth a routine inspection every six months. The bounce bed must be re-coated with rubberised mat paint every 3 years — annually for commercial use — which is a condition of the bed warranty.
General tools for assembly: ratchet gun with an M12 bit, drill or impact driver with a Phillips head bit, spirit level, gloves and protective eyewear.
