trampoline mat (bed) is too s[ppory for salo lumping. Gusty or severe winds
can cause jumpers to lose conlrol. To roduco the chance of injury use the
trampoline only under appropriateweather condrlrons. ln cold weather,tongues
and lips can stick to metal work al sub zoro tomperatures. In warmer and
sunnier weather, parts can become hot, and the temperatureshould be regularly
checked during play,especiallymetal parts.
How To Use Your Trampoline
o Always bounce at the centre of the bod. Bounong near the edge of the bed can
lead to injury and can also strotch the SphericalElastic buckles. The frame pad
is not designed nor intended to support the werght ol the trampoline user. Do
not step or jump directlyonto llro f rarno pad.
o Avoid bouncing too high. Stay low until you can control your bounce and land
consistentlyin the middle ol the bed.
o To regain control and stop your lump, bend your knees quickly when you land.
o Do not use the trampolinewhen under tho rnfluenceol alcoholor drugs.

dismount,jumpers should walk to the srde of the mat (bed), bend over and place
