JUMPING SAFELY •

Children age 5 and under should not be permitted on a trampoline.

•

Provide adult supervision and adult spotters around the edge of the trampoline.

•

Never allow more than 1 person to jump at a time.

•

Do not permit gymnastic exercises or stunts, such as somersaults or flips.

•

Never allow children to bounce off the trampoline. Encourage them to stop bouncing, walk to the edge, sit and slide off.

•

To prevent young children from getting on without supervision, do not leave a ladder or chair near the trampoline.

•

Never permit children to play on a wet trampoline.

•

Place your trampoline in a fenced area to avoid being liable for injuries caused by your trampoline acting as an attractive nuisance. Failing to take proper precautions regarding an attractive nuisance could make you ineligible for a standard homeowners policy.

BEST SPOT FOR A TRAMPOLINE •

Find a clear, flat area free from potential hazards, such as fences, hedges, trees, washing lines or other equipment.

•

Place the trampoline on soft, energy-absorbing ground. Good options include sand, bark or other materials that produce a cushioning effect.

•

Don't put the trampoline on concrete, asphalt or other hard surface without having a trampoline safety net or crash mats in place.

•

Create a safe fall zone of at least 8 feet around the outside of the trampoline, and keep this area clear.

TRAMPOLINE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS •

Purchase a round trampoline (rectangular trampolines provide a dangerously high bounce)

•

Enclose trampolines with high trampoline safety nets around the perimeter

•

Do not use the trampoline without shock-absorbing trampoline safety pads that completely cover its springs, hooks and frame

•

Place the trampoline away from other play areas, buildings and trees

•

Use soft materials like sand or wood chips to provide a softer surface around and underneath the trampoline

•

Carefully review the safety materials included with your trampoline purchase
