Trampolines- Watch Your Kids!
Posted by on 7th January 2010
It really isnt the best way to spend your time watching your child contantly bounce up and down but it has to be done really I am afraid. But it is well worth doing for many reasons.
Safety
The fence is somethign that must be on the top of the list when it comes to the trampoline, it takes hours to put up the actual trampoline which is why it is easy to forget about it. A lot of people, okay Dad’s will just settle with the trampoline as it is and say that they will get onto the fencing part of it at a later date. This rarely happens which is why it should always be put up as soon as you get the trampoline. Without this it is so easy to fall over and potenially seriously injure yourself.
I know that when I have seen people (including myself) use a trampoline they would certainly be falling off a lot without the fencing?
If you have a net then surely you do not have to stand out there and watch right? Wrong. Kids are always daring and do not realise the risks which is why they will try and do the best tricks even if they do not know how to. This is why you should stand and watch to make sure they do not do anything that could potentially harm them. If they want to do all of the flips and things then make sure they get shown how to do it the right way first.
It doesn’t matter what kind of 12ft trampoline you have, just make sure the kids are being careful on them.
You could always go after something else like wooden play equipment. Whatever you choose make sure you are out there with the kids. Do not just sit back and watch, have a bit of fun and join in!
