Trampolines are designed exclusively for the home backyard market. Trampolines, being rebounding devices, propel the performer to unaccustomed heights and into a variety of body movements. The vast majorities of users of trampolines are children, and therefore need close supervision and rules to follow while playing on the trampoline. A vital element to safe trampolining is found with the safety pad. Quality manufactured safety pads are constructed utilizing a 1" single layer of closed cell polyethylene foam and are covered with a vinyl fabric exterior which is mildew resistant. The pads should be attached via straps, and or, straps and buckle combinations. Neither spring covers, nor simple frame pads made with layers of foam padding and stapled together, offer the jumper adequate protection against falling through the springs, onto the springs, or from impact with the frame.

SAFETY PADS ARE NEITHER DESIGNED NOR INTENDED TO BE USED AS SEATS OR STEPS. DO NOT SIT ON OR STEP ON THE SAFETY PADS!!! FAILURE TO ENFORCE THIS RULE MAY CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE PADS.

Recommended weight limitation for trampolining is no more than 200 lbs. Persons at, or near, this weight should test the resiliency of the springs prior to extensive bouncing. This can be done by jumping lightly on the mat. If the resiliency appears to be weak, discontinue bouncing immediately, take off the springs and inspect them.If the springs appear to be stretched out of shape, the mat should not be put back on until the springs have been replaced. Be sure and check the mat for any restitching or DURACLIPS that may need replacing.
