Trampoline Safety Enclosure, Safety Nets and Accessories

A Safety Net, sometimes called a trampoline-enclosure, is a circular net, that fits around your trampoline and prevents you falling off your trampoline. Although there are many safety net models available, quality does vary quite considerably, and is not always related to price.

How does a Trampoline Safety Net prevent accidents?

The primary function of a Safety Net is to stop anyone falling off a trampoline. Accidents on trampolines are, in fact, very rare. The types of accidents that result in injury are usually not related to falls on the trampoline bed or the part of the pads covering the springs, but to falls onto the outer circular rail, and falls onto the ground around the trampoline.

Falls off the trampoline are more dangerous if the ground around the trampoline is not free of obtructions (eg chairs, bikes, walls etc), or if the ground is particularly hard (eg stone patios). The likelihood of such accidents increases if children are not aware of safety rules, such as not jumping too close to the edge, not trying advanced moves, such as somersaults, and using the trampoline one person at time.

What are the benefits of a Trampoline Safety Net?

Without a Safety Net, the level of supervision required by parents increases. It is not uncommon to see parents standing each side of a trampoline, with their hearts in their mouths as their little three-year old joyfully runs round the edge of trampoline.

This can be very stressful for parents, which can even sometimes spoil the fun your child is having. If you fit a safety net, parental supervision is still advised, however you will notice that, as a parent, stress levels will reduce dramatically. Another benefit of a trampoline enclosure is that it enables you to do more on your trampoline, giving you more confidence to try out new manoeuvers.
