Home trampolines are popular with children and you often see them in the backyards of many families. However, trampolines can be dangerous if they are not used safely. It is important to ensure proper use and safety rules for trampolines at home.
If you must have a trampoline at home, you should take note of the following traveling safety tips:
- Only allow one person to jump on the trampoline at the same time.
- Encourage users to jump in the center of the trampoline mat.
- Do not attempt or allow your kids to do somersaults on the trampoline. It can cause paralysis if they land on their head or neck.
- Kids under six years of age should not be allowed to use a full-size trampoline.
- Make sure the kids have adult supervision when they are trampolining to make sure they follow the safety rules.
- Make sure the trampoline is placed in a well-lit area, at ground level, away from any structures that could collide with the child, like trees, walls, and fences.
- Your trampoline should be anchored to the ground that is flat and soft.
- Install an impact-absorbing safety surface metal around the trampoline. Wood chips, sand, or mulch, etc. Concrete is not a good protective surface material for trampolines.
Check the trampoline regularly to make sure it is in good working condition. Following these tips and others will help you to have a safe and fun environment for your children to play.
