Who should not use a trampoline?
Because toddlers and preschoolers face the greatest risks for trampoline injuries, kids under 6 should NEVER jump. The AAP recommends that kids of all ages avoid trampolines—but if you decide to let older children jump, make sure they follow these common-sense rules. Only one child jumps at a time. Is It Safe to Use A Wet Trampoline? Trampolines are robust and durable products designed for outdoor use. They are built with galvanised steel and other high-quality components and to use them when it is wet or raining will not cause any damage to the trampoline.As much as you can bounce higher when trampolines are wet, it is not advisable to do so. The surface is more slippery, and the kids could lose their balance and fall off.Injury Risks Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and concussions. Younger children are particularly vulnerable to these potential hazards, as about 85% of trampoline injuries occur in those under 14. Safety nets and pads are known to significantly reduce the risk of injury.They are not safe for children under 5 or children who cannot swim at all. Never swim under a water trampoline. It is also important to anchor your bouncer or water trampoline securely and to check it often for any defects. You should always inspect areas around and under your bouncer before each use.While most trampolines are designed to stand up against outdoor weather, leaving a trampoline outside during severe weather events can be dangerous – more often for your tramp itself, but sometimes to you and your neighbors as well. Precautions make it a matter of if and not when a preventable tragedy occurs.
