Parents Ignore Trampoline Safety

It is a common problem I read about time after time but the BBC reported today that Doctors at Kingston Hospital in Surrey have seen a surge in the number of children they treat for accidents on trampolines. Operations were carried out on 18 children and 28 were referred to the hospital's ear, nose and throat clinic.

Remember that although Springfree Trampolines offer a safer way to jump there is still an obligation on parents to supervise their children when they jump and ensure the golden rule is followed - ONLY ONE JUMPER AT A TIME

Celebrities boost trampoline sales

The press association recently reported that:

Sales of trampolines have grown by more than three times in a craze sparked by celebrities such as Madonna and Victoria Beckham, a supermarket said.

Both the full-size and smaller versions, trampettes, have seen an increase of 70% year-on-year, according to Tesco Direct.

This summer its sales of 10ft and 12ft trampolines rose by 355% compared to the same period last year.

Trampoline coach for British Gymnastics, Anne-Sonia King who also runs a trampolining academy, said: "I would definitely recommend trampolining as it increases strength and fitness of the muscles, reduces cholesterol and helps to keep you fit and healthy. Classes at my academy are getting more and more popular - it's definitely a rising trend."

An hour of bouncing on a trampoline can burn more than 200 calories.

Heather Newing, Health and Fitness Buying Manager at Tesco said: "Trampettes seem to be taking off in a big way; they're a great way to exercise and lots of fun too."

Madonna and actress Gwyneth Paltrow have reportedly included aerobics on trampettes as part of their exercise regimes, and Posh Spice is also apparently a fan of the practice.

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.
