With the people becoming more aware of the (many) benefits
of trampolining, the trampoline is
being recognized as an exceptional form of family fun
and exercise. The availability of a wide number of options
in trampolines adds more to the confusion
of buyers. One needs to be sure that he/she has picked
up the right trampoline for their needs - the one which
represents good value for money.
Mentioned below are a few useful tips
which would help in making a better selection while
looking for buying a trampoline.
Type of trampolines
The trampolines which are Elastic banded are great
if somebody is looking for a fun trampoline at a low
cost. Comparatively, Metal sprung trampolines come
at slightly expensive prices and usually offer a higher
bounce. The tension in the springs determines the
springiness and elasticity of the rebounding surface.
Result - Greater the spring tension, stiffer the bounce
off the rebounding surface.
Value for money?
It’s very important to know the purpose of buying
a trampoline.
A good quality trampoline lasts a long time, so the
decision should be relative. Although most types of
trampolines provide the benefits of building strength,
stamina and coordination, the function and bouncing
surface vary. The person using the trampoline is another
important factor for consideration.
Shape of a trampoline?
Rectangular trampolines
are good for older/more experienced people. Round
trampolines suit more to younger, inexperienced and
fun users. While offering a great bounce, they are
designed to bounce the user towards the centre (Important
as a safety consideration of trampolining).
Limitations against the use
of trampolines?
The parts of a trampoline such as
frame, springs & bouncing surface can only withstand
a certain quantum of force suggested by the maximum
user weight. Any application of force above this can
cause fatigue and failure of Trampoline parts thereby
causing injury. Another serious accident could be
the jumper straightaway hitting the ground.
For any trampoline activity,
the safety of the jumper is the prime criteria, making
it important to abide by the age recommendation stated
by the manufacturer. (Refer to the user guide for
more details)

Trampoline safety
A trampoline should be used by one person at a time.
For Larger trampolines, even 2-3 children can be allowed
in one go - with the inclusion of a safety enclosure.
