Trampolines are great fun for children (and big children!), as well as being a really good for exercise. However, many parents are understandably worried about the dangers associated with trampolining.

It is worth knowing that around 75% trampolining related injuries happen when more than one child is on a trampoline, and under six-year-olds are particularly vulnerable so should only use trampolines that are suitable for their age range.

At Atlantic Trampolines, we are very serious when it comes to trampoline safety, and we are members of the Royal Society of the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA). We often here from concerned parents who want to buy their children a trampoline, but are worried about the risks. So we have put together a list of basic rules to follow when buying and using a trampoline that should help children have fun and stay safe whilst trampolining:

What Trampoline Should you buy?

There is currently no British Manufacturing Standard for home & garden trampolines, but look out for trampolines with safety pads covering all the springs, hooks & frame, as well as a safety net or safety enclosure. If the trampoline you buy doesn’t come with these safety features included, you can buy them separately if you make sure that the trampoline you are buying will fit these parts.
