1) Traditionally
trampolines have been a great source of fun and many manufacturers have started
manufacturing trampolines with safety in mind. So it is important to first do
research about the trampoline that you wish to buy. Also it is important to
look at all the features that they provide.
2) Check if the trampoline
has safety pads. Safety pads are a mandatory requirement and it should be there
on the trampoline. It should cover the springs so that the kids who jump about
do not get injured. The problem with safety mats is that they wear off soon and
the risk of injury mounts, so ensure that you buy a trampoline with very good
quality and sturdy safety pads.
3) Traditional
trampolines did not have springs, but the new ones come with springs and
finding one without springs is difficult. If you find a trampoline without
springs then you can buy it as it reduces risk of injury. However, finding such
trampolines are difficult and we need to check the design and ensure that
safety pads are placed above the springs.
4) Manufacturers of
trampolines need to provide safety nets but the problem is that most nets are
of inferior quality and after a couple of times of usage they tear and unfit
for reducing injuries. You need to ensure that you get a top quality net, so
that the kids do not fall out of the trampoline. Another point to note is the
net pole. The net pole should not be too hard as it will injure the kid. Also
it should not have safety foam as it will not offer the required protection. In
fact, the pole should be flexible and strong because it needs to hold the trampoline
user and not make him or her fall on the ground. The flexible pole should be
able to take the weight of the user and send him back to the centre of the
trampoline.
5) The frame of the
trampoline is very important. It should be strong and sturdy and able to hold
the weight of the jumpers. Lightweight frames will not work; the trampoline
will break and lead to injuries.
If you follow the above
mentioned 5 tips you will be able to select a very good trampoline for your kids. Remember that safety of the
kids is paramount and hence you should not compromise on the safety aspect.
Even if you need to pay a little extra to get the best trampoline, you should
do that because you will be not paying for hospital bills due to injury.
