Positioned as the
“World’s Safest Trampoline” on the market – the Springfree Trampoline is an
alternative to traditional trampolines. Springfree Trampoline technology
replaces coil springs with fiber-glass rods, soft-edges and flexible attached
enclosure (the FlexiNet) all designed to keep child safe and prevent falls.
Designed by engineer and father of three Dr. Alexander, the goal of the new
design was to change the traditional trampoline in order to reduce injuries and
provide children with a safer option.
In
a society of childhood obesity, jumping on a trampoline provides a great
workout and helps children develop coordination and athletic skills. In fact,
just 10 minutes of jumping on a trampoline is equivalent to a half an hour of
running. However, many injuries can happen as a result of using a trampoline. In Canada, 4,247 cases of trampoline injuries were reported over the
five most-recent years of data.
Regardless of what type of trampoline you have, children
can still be injured when using a trampoline, so the following precautions are
recommended:
1. Only one jumper at a time: butting heads or falling
on another person can result in injuries
2. Bare feet is best: helps to prevents slipping and falling
3. No flips: most serious injuries happen to the head and neck area
4. Secure the door: reminding children to keep the access door zipped and closed
5. Provide a safe area: keeping the trampoline away from fences, trees and other backyard objects
6. Supervision: parents need to mindful of children playing on the trampoline at all times
With safe practices, jumping on a trampoline is terrific full-body exercise for the whole family – one person at a time. Happy Jumping!
