Yes we do recommend using a safety net enclosure for extra peace of mind. A Safety Enclosure can be easily attached to your trampoline, providing a soft-mesh cage to gently retain users.
Can we sink our trampoline into the ground?
Yes, this is an excellent option, as it will increase the safety and make your
trampoline less visible. The distance between the mat and the bottom of the hole
needs to be at least 3 feet. If your water table is high you will need to
provide drainage. Also be sure to use the legs as they provide necessary support
to the circular frame. For more information please contact us.
Some people think that trampolining is dangerous, is it?
No more than any other activity involving unrestrained movement. It is important
to differentiate between the sport of trampolining where individuals are pushed
to the limit of their skills and recreational trampolining where such pressures
do not generally exist. Trampolining is certainly much safer than many
'accepted' activities such as horse riding, bicycle riding and swimming.
Should we use a ladder to help smaller
children get onto their trampoline?
No. Although we do supply a ladder with some makes of trampoline we recommend
that you don't use them. The area around the trampoline should be kept clear of
solid objects so that anyone falling or bouncing off lands on the grass. To help
the little ones we recommend a lightweight one-piece plastic chair with its back
placed against the edge of the trampoline frame (available from your local
supermarket or DIY store at a very reasonable cost).
If someone else's child is hurt while using my
trampoline, where do I stand legally?
Unless you can be shown to have been negligent, or the trampoline unfit for use,
you will not be legally 'liable'. You will usually be covered by your house or
contents insurance. If you are in any doubt, we suggest that you refer to our
policy document or check with your broker or insurers help-line.
