Trampoline Safety Net:   Finding a Balance Between Having Fun and Protecting Your Kids From Getting Hurt


Find Out Why A Trampoline Enclosure Is A Must Have Accessory For Your Trampoline

A trampoline safety net, or trampoline enclosure as it is also called, could be the best investment that you make when it comes to trampoline safety and your child. There are an alarming amount of accidents that are caused by jumping on a trampoline that could have been avoided if the trampoline owners had had a trampoline enclosure in place.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported that 80% of trampoline injuries needing hospital treatment are a direct result of falling off a trampoline, an accident that could have been prevented had an enclosure been in place. And that is only accidents that were significant enough for a visit to casualty, there were no doubt many others which occurred that did not need medical attention but no doubt caused some distress both to children and their families.

Not only does a trampoline safety net protect your children from serious injury but it will also give them more confidence in their bouncing just by knowing that they are safe.

Injuries are more likely when more than one person is bouncing, and it is the person who weighs less that is likely to suffer most. They are 5 times more likely to be injured because they can be easily 'bounced' or ricocheted off the mat. Many families have a rule where only one child is allowed to bounce on the trampoline at a time but this is often difficult to enforce and the rule quickly gets forgotten. Part of the fun of a trampoline for kids is bouncing with others. So rather than putting all your energy into trying to enforce a rule that won't stick why not just put up a safety enclosure and know that regardless of what happens they and their friends won't be able to bounce off and injure themselves.

If you don't already have a trampoline with enclosure, perhaps because the trampoline you wanted didn't have that option, you didn't think you needed it or you bought it some time ago and a trampoline safety enclosure wasn't standard then, don't worry, you can still get one now. And thankfully you don't have to hunt around to get an enclosure specifically for your brand of trampoline - you just need to make sure that you size it right depending on whether you need 12ft, 13ft or 14ft circular safety net enclosures. Once you've worked out what size then you can focus on getting the best trampoline enclosure.

What does the best trampoline enclosure look like?

  • you shouldn't need to make any adjustments to your existing frame to fit it
  • it will have quality safety netting - it should be durable, weather proof and have high quality stitching
  • strong galvanized support poles
  • foam padding on all support poles to protect bouncers from injury
  • secure entry door
  • easy to assemble
  • able to accommodate a 300 lb jumper (in case an adult gets the bouncing bug!)

Buying a trampoline safety net is kind of bulky so buying it online is a great choice. You can measure your trampoline and then place your order. No need to drive around trying to find the right product only to get it home and find it doesn't fit. And letting someone else take care of delivery saves you worrying about how you're going to fit it in and means you don't have to lug it through a shopping center.

Bouncing on a trampoline is great fun for kids and good for the physical development too. Think how disappointing and stressful it would be if that fun turned to tears and anguish over one mis-cued bounce! That's all it takes, one off bounce and you too could be making that dreaded dash to hospital. Click Here to order your trampoline safety enclosure today!
