Is your trampoline Safe Enough
Sunday, 07.01.2007, 03:20pm (GMT)
There are many injuries suffered needlessly on trampolines each year
because proper safety regulations and guidelines are not followed as
well as they should be. One such guideline for your trampoline is a
trampoline safety pad. This small addition to your backyard trampoline
apparatus can save serious injury.
The majority of trampoline injuries occur because of a collision on the
trampoline between users, improper landing while jumping or doing
stunts on the trampoline, falling directly off the trampoline, or
falling on the trampoline springs or the frame. These injury causes,
therefore, speak to a bigger problem of leaving trampoline users
unsupervised on the trampoline and without the proper safety equipment,
especially the trampoline safety pad.
Trampoline pads are a Fun Spot specialty. Our trampoline pads represent
the best value in their markets. All Fun Spot trampoline pads contain
the best shock absorbent, high density, closed-cell foam that will not
absorb water, mildew or lose shape. All Fun Spot trampoline pads exceed
all national ASTM standards.
Following are the available Pad Types:
Master Trampoline Pads
Our Master trampoline pads cover both frame and springs with an
extra-wide plank of 1-inch thick foam for maximum protection. The
Master trampoline pads are 15-inches wide and overlap the edge of the
black mat, leaving no protection gap.
Standard Trampoline Pads
Our Standard trampoline pads are 12-inches wide and sit atop the frame
and springs. While most trampoline pads protect springs with only 1/4"
of foam, our Standard trampoline pads use a full inch for superior
protection.
Budget Trampoline Pads
Our Master trampoline pads cover both frame and springs with an
extra-wide plank of 1-inch thick foam for maximum protection. The
Master trampoline pads are 15-inches wide and overlap the edge of the
black mat, leaving no protection gap.
Hedstrom Trampoline Pads
Hedstrom trampoline pads are recommended only for our most cost
conscious customers and are available only for Hedstrom and NBF
trampolines. The cover of this safety pads is 11-inches wide and
contains 1-inch thick foam over the frame. These pads are covered with
a 100-gram polyethylene shell.
Rectangular Trampoline Mat
Fun Spot’s rectangular trampoline pad is a full pad, not the simple
frame pads sold elsewhere. Fun Spot rectangular trampoline pads contain
a 1-inch thick plank of closed-cell polyethylene foam that will not
absorb water, mildew or lose shape.
Our rectangular trampoline pad is covered with heavy PVC vinyl that has
the properties of premium 22-ounce vinyl. The pad is reversible so you
can prolong its life by rotating the pad annually. The pad is attached
with bungee cords for resilience and strength.
