When people talk
about trampoline,
they imagine it as
something that only
kids could enjoy, a big
toy that can lure the
children out in the
sun. The problem today is that, it is not only the kids
that need the exercise but teens and adults as well.
With so many things to do indoors, there has to be a
catalyst that will bring these lazy folks outside to
exercise. A trampoline is just what is needed.
Most probably you already own a trampoline and it’s
been used for quite a bit already. The thing is that you
should make sure that you have all the necessary
precautions installed on it. Safety nets, side padding,
and soft landing pads are what you need. They don’t
come with the trampoline but they can be bought at
affordable prices.
Trampoline safety nets, side padding, and soft landing
pads are sold separately as accessories, but they aren’t
just for show. If you have a trampoline at home, you will
know that with the fun come accidents too. Mild
accidents which if not taken seriously can escalate to
bigger ones. That is why these accessories are
important; in a sense they are a requirement. If you
plan to frequently use the trampoline then get strong,
durable, and good-quality trampoline safety
accessories.
It is always a good idea to plan ahead and think ahead.
Of course you will not want accidents to happen when
you are trampolining but why risk getting hurt if you
could have safety measures installed right? It is not
going to pay off if you start your trampoline exercise
this week and you get injured the next. So better buy up
these simple yet effective accessories to help mitigate
any untoward accidents.
Here are three of those safety accessories you could
install to your trampoline:
Safety nets – safety nets are the first level of protection
you can add to your trampoline. It will guard the user
from falling off the device and more importantly, it will
be your basis as to up to where you can jump back and
forth from the trampoline.
Side padding – the second line of defense you will have.
Comes in many shapes and sizes depending on what
your trampolines shape and size is. They come in
different materials and different thickness but the
important thing is that it can cushion you if you did fall
close to its side.
Soft landing pads – these aren’t that common but if you
want to go all the way and protect yourself and the
people who will be using your trampoline then this is a
There are
certain rules
regarding
trampolining
and a lot of
buyers aren’t
that keen on
reading on
them. But to
careful parents and responsible parents, this should be
important. Not only will it be your life at stake but your
children’s as well. No matter what the seller tells you
about how safe and amazing their product is, which is
definitely true in their own perspective, you should still
take the necessary steps to ensure that you have “fun”
and not “fall” while on the trampoline.
3. Here are some useful tips:
Trampolining is a nice exercise and recreation activity
device. You just have to be careful around it and respect
that although it is made for fun, if you don’t care to take
precautions, it can be a nightmare when accidents
strikes.
•
No matter what the shape of your trampoline is
or how big it is, you should never go in by pairs.
Only one person should be on the device at a
time. Sure doing things together is fun most
times, but not at this. Instead, you should buy
two trampolines, distance them a few feet
apart and then you can jump and have fun
together. That is the only acceptable option to
start playing on a trampoline together.
•
Kids should be always under the watchful eyes
of adults when trampolining. Be strict about this
rule. You don’t want them breaking their neck
fooling around as a parent. Make them
understand that there are no second chances to
breaking this specific rule. It’s either they get
hurt bad and won’t be able to jump in on it
again or that you will not allow them ever again
because of disobeying you. Seriously, tough
love is needed here, for their own safety and
your own peace of mind.
Trampolines are
enjoyable and
good for the
body. A lot of
people take for
granted that it’s
not just a
pleasurable
pastime but good exercise equipment too. But before
you go purchasing this magnificent creation, be sure to
read on these few guidelines first:
•
Get a safety pad and a safety mat installed on
the device. This can’t be hard to understand but
it should be repeated again, trampolines are fun
when used accordingly with adult supervision
but it’s also dangerous if not taken seriously. If
you expect people to just magically come back
up after falling on a trampoline which is not
carefully padded and without mat to support
your landings, then you are in for a huge
surprise. Accidents do happen, but with
precautions they can all be avoided most of the
time.
It is always the children who will want to play with your
backyard trampoline. Of course it is not limited to their
use only. Adults could also enjoy it as much, but kids
will be kids. Jumping up and down doesn’t seem to
exhaust their energy and you have to tell them to stop
for them to do so. Unfortunately, it is not advisable that
you just leave them be on their trampoline. You have,
as a parent or a responsible adult, to make sure that
these adventurous kids are safe. Always supervise
children when they are around trampoline to avoid any
accidents.
•
The thicker the pads, the thicker the mats, the
better. It will mean serious injury or a little
uneasy bump to the head and you will want the
latter. Don’t aim to buy a big trampoline, go for
the average ones, which are a lot safer. It’s
easier to control an average size trampoline and
easier to add padding around it too.
This advise is important not only for kids but for adults
as well. No stunts on the trampoline if you are not
training for the Olympics. Seriously, no fooling around,
somersaulting or do flips on it. Accidents may occur,
although mild ones, when you are bouncing on this
equipment and more so if you get silly and do some
wild moves jumping up and down. Just be a regular
person and keep the eccentric moves to the pros.
One person at a time; that is a major rule. Fun as it may
be to jump together on the trampoline, it’s not safe.
4. You can break not only your body parts but also that of
your partner’s. No matter how big the trampoline is, the
threat of midair collision isn’t going to lessen. Again,
foolish antics will get you nowhere but to a hospital.
Buy two trampolines if you so wish, that is the better
idea.
Before getting yourself ready for a 30-minute jump, you
should check the whole device first; thoroughly choking
if screws are secured and all parts are fastened as they
should be will ensure that you have a clean good fun on
the trampoline. This is most especially true if you
constantly use it, like you jump on it every day. The
screws get unhinged overtime and checking it before
any activity on the trampoline is a priority for safety
purposes.
Don’t get overconfident and cheap. If anything needs to
be replaced, do so immediately, especially the
protective padding and the net, if there is any. Don’t
cheapen the materials you use as accessories for your
trampoline as well. You must have enough protection if
you are going to safely play on the trampoline and if
you intend to not suffer any untoward accidents.
Trampolines are healthy and enjoyable to the body.
That is if you know to respect it and the danger it could
potentially bring. But nevertheless, enjoy the ride and
be safe when using it.
