Trampolines
are big in the UK - As well as being fun, they are great exercise
for adults to burn off a few calories and keep trim. A large
adult on a children's' size trampolines doesn't work but what
is an Adult Size Trampoline?
We have seen budget trampolines advertised for as little as
£150, it comprises a 12ft surface with a 12 gauge steel
frame and the manufacturers of the bargain trampoline guarantee
it for 5 years and claim it will take a hefty 16 stone adult.
Trampolines are like magnets, they attract. Apart from serious
exercise, when do you see one person on a trampoline for any
length of time? Look for a trampoline suitable for at least
two adults and at least it will be that bit safer.
Generally
trampolines come in sizes from 8 feet to 16 feet, in 2 feet
increments, 8', 10', 12', 14', 16'. Not forgetting the mini
trampolines of course and I wouldn't dream of letting a 16
stone adult on mine!
Before
you go for the cheap and cheerful trampoline, consider who
will be bouncing on it? As much as you think the trampoline
is for the adults, children will use them too and probably
more often than you thought.
If adults are going to use it regularly, go for the 12 ft,
heavier adults and children ought to consider the 14ft on
the basis that the bigger trampolines accept more jumping
weight.
Not all gardens and backyards will be suitable for an adult
size trampoline, and it's worth looking at the safety aspects
whilst you shop around for an adult trampoline supplier. The
fashion for trampolining could lead to accidents, but that
does not mean trampolines are dangerous. Let's look at what
causes knocks and bumps whilst bouncing on trampoline.
We all know that when we land on the surface of a trampoline
we will leave a conical impression, if another person on the
trampoline is lighter and within the incline, they could be
forced towards the heavier jumper... great fun for singles
party but there are other points to look at. Two people on
a trampoline could lead to accidents. Approximately 75% of
injuries occur when more than one person is on the trampoline.
Trampolines
are for fun and they develop excitement, which in turn leads
to over-excitement if we are not cautious. Nobody wants to
be a spoilsport but laying down some ground rules is essential.
Just because
your adult trampoline can take a sixteen stone person, imagine
if the bulk of a person who was a little tipsy bounced off
the trampoline and landed on a small child or even some sharp
edged garden furniture, a shed or conservatory window, sharp
tree branch or garden tool. Clear at least three feet all
around, the more clear area, the safer it will be.
Alcohol and drugs is a big NO, don't entertain it because
in a world of 'No Win, No Fee' lawsuits someone's lawyer could
be pursuing you. Another threat is two people banging in to
each other. One person on a trampoline is the safest but try
keeping another adult off.
The safest
part on a trampoline is the centre, stay in the middle and
keep bouncing low and under control. Consistently landing
in the centre of the trampoline. Avoid bouncing for long periods
of time and do not bounce when you are tired Do not attempt
back flips (back somersaults), multiple somersaults or twisting
somersaults on your trampoline.
Have fun and enjoy choosing your new adult trampoline.
