In the 3 year period May 2006 to April 2009, 161 children were admitted to Starship Children’s Health following a trampoline related injury. Admissions revealed that almost half of the injuries were to children 5-9 years old, and injury patterns were consistently high during the summer months and school holidays.

Common injuries range from minor bumps, bruises, sprains and cuts, to serious injuries such as broken bones and concussions. Common causes of injury include falling off and landing on a hard surface or object, landing awkwardly while jumping, and collisions with another person while jumping on a trampoline.

“Play sometimes leads to the odd bumps and bruises. While this is a part of growing up, parents should take every precaution to avoid injuries that lead to long term complications or permanent disabilities,” said Ann Weaver, Director of Safekids New Zealand. “By taking simple and sensible steps, trampolining can be enjoyed as a safe and healthy activity by the whole family.”

Safety Tips: – When buying a trampoline, make sure that it complies with NZ or Australia Safety Standards (NZS 5855:1997, NZS 5855:1997AA, AS 4989-2006).

- Place the trampoline away from structures and objects (i.e. trees, fences). Have a safe fall zone of at least 2.5 metres with a soft, energy absorbing ground (i.e. woodchips, sand or soft lawn). Consider a trampoline with a sturdy net enclosure.

- No somersaults or flips. Children and adults should NOT attempt tricky manoeuvres unless they have received professional training or have professional supervision.

- Keep it age appropriate and use correctly. Check if the trampoline is suited to the age of your child, and read the user manual for correct and safe use.

- Take turns. Never allow more than one child on the trampoline at the same time.

Before you begin shopping for your new trampoline, you should know a bit about the different types available and the different features they offer. While most people seem to prefer the standard eight to ten foot round trampoline, they are available in other shapes and sizes as well. You should consider the size of the outdoor area you have set aside for the trampoline and choose a model that fits that space. You should also think about who will be using the new trampoline before you decide on a specific model. This is especially important if there will be several people using it at the same time, because of weight limitations. Once you’ve calculated the number of people planning to use your new toy and the total maximum weight capability you will need, you are ready to select the trampoline that fits your needs.

While you can go to the local brick and mortar sporting goods store and wander up and down the aisles to look at the different models and features, there is a much easier way to research trampolines. By going online, you can discover answers to all of your questions without having to worry about store hours, parking, or the other inconveniences of in store shopping. Manufacturer websites, online store sites and sites created by trampoline enthusiasts can help you discover the different models of trampolines, how to stay safe while using your new toy and how these products can help you exercise and become healthier.

One of the most useful online resources for trampolines is an online store. You can easily select different options for your trampoline, from the color of the fabric you prefer to whether you’d like uv protectant on the fabric. Of course, the biggest bonus of shopping online is that once you choose the right model for you and your family, you don’t have to load that big packing carton into your car and drive it home. Web retailers offer shipping to your front door. In fact, most of them even offer free shipping!

As you shop for your trampoline online, you may notice that there are quite a few accessories available, as well. Many of them are designed to help you use your trampoline more safely. Accessories you should consider are mats, trampoline pads, safety nets and ladders. You can also find replacement parts so you can keep your trampoline in great shape.

Once you buy a trampoline, be prepared to enjoy hours of bouncy fun as you jump your way to a fitter and healthier family!

Pick a permanent spot for the trampoline. This should be a place that is easily accessible and easy to monitor if there will be children using it. Choose the right size trampoline for the space. A small trampoline in a big space might not take full advantage of the area, while a large trampoline in a small space could look out of place and cramped. Safety should also be considered here. Are there trees nearby that may have branches overhanging? Are there rocks underneath or a wall on the side? The safety of the jumper should always be taken into consideration so that a small accident doesn’t become something more serious.

Start off with a flat even foundation. If the ground is uneven, local nurseries sell sand or dirt which can be used to fill in holes and smooth out the surface. The supplemental dirt should be packed in, in order to avoid sinking later on. Clear away any rocks or sharp objects around the perimeter of the base. Cut away branches and foliage that overhang near the trampoline.

Put together the base poles all around. These poles should snap into one another. Each set should be securely in place. After the base is set up, start attaching the springs. This is where the second person can be extremely helpful. The best way to do it is to find two points directly across from each other. Each person attaches a spring at that point and pulls the net over. Count about three spring slots over in opposite directions and do the same. Continue this clockwork motion until all the springs are attached and the net is tightly secured evenly around the trampoline. Another alternative is to attach the springs in a cross like formation. Start at the same two points. Instead of counting three spring slots, find the slots directly across from each other that form an X or a cross with the first one. This is much like cutting a pie in half and then in half again. Continue this process until you have all of the springs secured.

How does this exercise actually improve the eyes, and how can one exercise to get that maximum benefit? There are actually a few different opinions on these questions, and it’s too much to cover even in a chapter, but some of the basic ideas are as follows:

Any kind of exercise that’s positive will have positive benefits on the entire body. Getting the body to move means that all of the cells are moving, and this can help keep the tissues vibrant, flexible, and strong. Jumping is then very good for the eyes, because the eyes are made of cells, like anything else, and the movement stimulates growth and development. But this kind of low-impact exercise also helps people to relax, and move more freely, like a child. This can help with vision according to some schools of thought, because the eyes tend to tense up to focus, when natural vision is unfocused.

There was an eye doctor named William Horatio Bates who, in the early 20th century, came out with some findings about vision that are often used in the arguments supporting rebounding and improved sight. He felt that corrective lenses were not necessary at all, and people merely needed to learn how to use their eyes again. This included exercising them, just like every other part of the body needs exercise.

Although his theories are very interesting, and even encouraging, they have not held up very well in light of contemporary medical findings. There may be some truth to it, and there are no real formal ways of exercising the eyes with the trampoline, so the best way to test the theory is to start bouncing and learn to enjoy it. Fortunately, that’s not difficult to do.

Because most trampolines for private homes are used outdoors, the galvanized steel helps to keep the frame from rusting, as well as offering protection from other natural conditions. Springs are usually made by a separate company on order from a trampoline manufacturer.

The safety pads are usually outsourced as well, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, covering the springs and frame and consisting of foam. Vinyl covers and straps are used to attach the pads to the frame. The jumping pads are made of artificial fibers, such as nylon or polyethylene. This woven, heavy fabric is protected to prevent them from fading with outdoor use.

The earliest trampolines may have been used by the Inuit people, who used walrus skin to toss each other into the air. In Europe, this type of blanket-trampolining was recorded in plays and novels of the time; however, such instances were largely forced by mobs on a hapless victim. True trampolining seems to have come into existence with acrobats and the circus. One piece of folklore suggests the device was invented by a trapeze artist known as du Trampolin, who saw the possibilities of a trampoline as a type of safety net, using it both to propel an acrobat and to help secure a landing. Chances are good, though, that du Trampolin didn’t exist; at least, there’s no real record of him.

The first real trampoline was created in the early part of the 20th Century, in 1936, by gymnasts at the University of Iowa. The first trampolines were made out of a piece of canvas attached to an iron frame, using coiled springs to provide the bounce. In 1942, the gymnasts, George Nissen and Larry Griswold, created the first trampoline company, the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company. They named it a trampoline for the Spanish word trampolin, which means diving board. Once the first trampolines were built, a new sport was born: trampolining, or as it was then known, rebound tumbling.

First, you need to read the instructions and get all the parts out of the trampoline box and lay them out on the ground. With the instruction book in hand and all your parts laid out, make sure you have all the parts, there should be a check list with the instructions. Once you’ve established that your have all the parts, it’s time to begin.

Second, follow all the instructions. The first part you will assemble is the circular frame, then you’ll clip together the legs to the frame. Then you’ll add on the side rails and base. Then attaching the extension rails comes next. After that, it’s time for the trampoline mesh to be attached to the main part of the trampoline base. Lay the mesh inside the frame area, lay it on the ground. Then begin to hook one of the springs onto the eyelet of the frame. Then, count out 22 eyelets and and attach the 22nd spring to that eyelet, go all the way around, hooking each 22nd spring to each corresponding eyelet. You’ll have 4 springs attached on your first round. Then, those 4 springs need to be tighten with the torque bar provided. Attaching the springs to their corresponding eyelets is repeated until all the springs are attached and tightened with the right tension. The count for only attaching 4 springs at a time when going around starts with 22, then 11, then 5, then 3 and finally what’s left.

Once the mesh is completely attached to the frame, place the spring cover over the springs. Do not pass on putting this cover over the springs. This cover is the best protection for the jumper and serves as protection of the springs from rusting, or becoming corroded with weather damage. You’ll find assembly of a trampoline to be an easy process, but it’s important to follow the instructions to a Tee, this will ensure that the trampoline will not collapse or cause harm to the jumpers.

Sites from Dick’s Sporting Goods to Springfree Trampoline to Target can offer any number of trampolines; perhaps even more importantly, you will also receive several sites which advise the buyer on how to purchase a trampoline for your family.

Trampolines are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The basic shapes are round, rectangular, square, and octagonal. For backyard jumps, you’ll want to use a round trampoline. Rectangular trampolines are meant for a bigger space. Straight sides also allow the jumper to orient him or herself while jumping and turning. In a rectangular trampoline, the springs are very flexible, allowing the jumper to go higher on each bounce. Square trampolines, similar to rectangular trampolines, are meant for a broader space, but they don’t allow the jumper to go as high. An octagonal trampoline allows the jumper to have a wider space in which to jump but also to keep him or her from being drawn into the middle of the space.

Most recreational models have a diameter anywhere from six feet to sixteen or seventeen feet. To be safe, the trampolines will need overhead space. You should allow for twenty four feet of clearance above the trampoline; there must also be a clearance horizontally of two feet on all sides of the trampoline.

In addition to the space required, there’s a few safety suggestions jumpers should follow: A) Have one person jumping on the trampoline at a time; B) Have a spotter or spotters supervise the jumper; C) Don’t jump on a trampoline bed that’s wet; and D) don’t use the trampoline in bad weather, especially gusty winds.

Any number of sites will be happy to offer a trampoline for sale, but it’s up to the individual buyers to be safe with that purchase once the trampoline comes home.
