Better By Design

The best way to remove hazards is to design them out completely.
This is always superior to providing guards, pads or warnings. In
order to remove (and not just attenuate) each of the impact zones
identified in conventional trampoline design, a whole set of novel
engineering strategies needed to be developed and tested. Designs
were roughed out, prototyped, tried, patented, and then thoroughly
field-tested over a number of years. The final result is an integrated
set of sub-assemblies that in concert, remove all the impact zones
inherent in the traditional design, and deliver the world’s safest
trampoline.
