Generally
trampolines come in sizes from 3ft which can be used as adult
training trampolines as well as childrens trampolines.
4
feet to 16 feet, in 2 feet increments, 4', 6', 8', 10', 12',
14', 16' are popular sizes.
The
small junior trampolines are great because sensible adults
may resist the temptation of having a bounce.

Before
you go for a childrens size trampoline, consider who else
will be bouncing on it.
You
might think that the trampoline is for the kids but it is
almost guranteed that adults will use it....they can't resist!
Ther
are min trampolines in three or four feet sizes but think
bigger for safety reasons.
A 10 ft trampoline would be okay for one child or a couple
of small kids and maybe an adult occasionally.

If
adults are going to use it, (and they will!) go for a12 foot,
and if heavier adults and children will be bouncing, then
you ought to consider a 14' trampoline on the basis that the
bigger trampolines accept more jumping weight.
Safety is paramount
|
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 trampoline can take a sixteen stone person,
imagine if that bulk of a person was a little tipsy bounced
off the trampoline and landed on a small child. 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 and if that one person is a child
never leave it unattended.
If you are have a garden party, nominate 'spotters', a bit
like lifeguards at a swimming pool and ensure the spotters
are always around the trampoline. Generally parents will watch
their own children but err on the side of caution and ask
a responsibility adult to keep watch.
There is a terrific trampoline safety accessory, a safety
net for trampolines sometime called Fun Rings. They prevent
accidents and ensure the user cannot jump off the trampoline.
One should always step 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.
