Do your research carefully on the trampoline.  Unlike traditional trampolines, the new trampolines have been improved to include an enclosure net and pads over the springs to guarantee safety while using.

Considerations

Pads

The pads were made from Velcro, foam and steel frame are solely for offering protection from the hard frame and springs. However, the pads move around and get spoilt with time giving very mundane protection to the one jumping.

Pads have the shortest time frame regarding how long they can last. It is, therefore, wise to consider a design that will protect the layer firmly to keep the kids safe from any harm that can be caused by the trampoline. The trampoline guide helps the users to use it in the right manner.

Soft edges

Some trampolines do not require pads on the edges because they have soft edges. Thus, there will be no place for replacing or reattaching the spoil pads. The safest trampolines in the market are spring free trampolines. Spring free trampolines have fewer injuries thus the frame is away from the surface making it safe, and no hard surface can come in contact with the trampoline.

Springs

Springs are the greatest shift from the old trampoline to the new trampolines which are spring free trampolines. It was discovered that the trampolines could cause strangulations and entrapment to the users that explain their elimination form the trampoline. Apart from the fatal injuries that can be resulting from the trampoline, there is also the risk of pinching, bruising and trapping legs when they fall in between the springs. With such injuries that can happen from a play equipment, it is advisable to avoid a trampoline without springs all together.

Net

Their nets have to be of a very high quality as lower quality deteriorate very fast. In some instances, a jumper may jump out of a trampoline that does not have a net posing a heath challenge to the jumper and any passer buy on the road side.

You, however, must get to know the material that the loss is made up off and if it is treated against being spoilt by ultraviolent rays. The net has to be flexible and does not easily treated such nets are manufactured from a weave that has knots tied together.
