If you are looking into purchasing a trampoline for your family but you have children; there are many things you need to consider. Age is one of them, and safety is the second. Both of these issues often times prevent families from enjoying a trampoline as they are scared to even purchase one.
Today, most injuries (according to doctors) come from the jumpers falling off of the sides. Secondly, they come from collisions and then lastly from the mat springs. Now, parents can fight back against their child's injury with many safety options.
There are a variety of models for different purposes; there are large trampolines that can accommodate a number of children at once; there are trampolines with handle for children under 10. Being informed is the best policy when choosing a trampoline that is right for your children.
These large trampolines are often fourteen foot or larger. Not only are they huge, they come in a variety of shapes ranging from circular to square. However the corners of trampolines often cause the most problems as they give a higher spring related injury potential. So if you are really concerned about spring injuries a circular trampoline is most likely the best option.
Manufacturers have attempted to provide extra safety by including covers that wrap around the entire frame to protect jumpers from the springs. Unfortunately, jumpers can still injure themselves from the springsa cover moving, or from getting their hands or feet under the cover. Though a great idea, the spring cover is not foolproof. These trampolines would be better suited for older children.
Another innovation that would fit the same type of trampolines is an enclosure. The same 14-foot trampoline mentioned above would have an optional 14 trampoline enclosure that is made specifically for it. There are a number of universal enclosures as well. The enclosure is a high net that is designed to protect jumpers from the springs and from falling off. Models that protect jumpers from the springs are more effective because the netting is more rigid than a spring cover alone.
However, despite how great an enclosure may sound - they are also not completely effective. With larger children or adults, the enclosure net can be broken which can cause severe injuries. Enclosures are best with small children as they have a lesser chance of breaking through and injuring themselves.
For toddlers and those under 10 years, manufacturers have produced a trampoline with handle. This trampoline is small enough to use indoors, and offers extra stability while being used. It is the one of the safest kinds of trampolines for small children, and is often not subject to the same issues occurring with larger trampolines. Maybe of these models are only a few inches from the ground; falling is not such an issue. Even more importantly, many of these types of trampolines do not contain springs at all.
These springless trampolines are by far the safest on the market. So if safety is your main concern, purchasing a springless trampoline with enclosure is the best option. It can easily put any doubt of injury out of your mind as there is no chance of falling out or getting a spring related injury - because there are no springs. Not only are they safe but they are less expensive to ship, cheaper to repair, and last longer than the traditional spring trampoline. A springless trampoline is the safest route, however there are many other models and methods you can use to have a safe and fun jumping experience. - 15995
