7 Comments » Posted by for australia

Springfree™ Trampoline is again attending the Rhymes Festival in Brisbane on Sunday 22nd January 2012 at the RNA Showgrounds Exhibition Hall and we’re giving you a chance to WIN passes!

We’re giving away TWO (2) Family Passes (2 adults & 2 children; value of $39 per person, total value of $156) AND for one lucky family, a ONE (1) Family VIP Pass which includes VIP room access, food, drinks and VIP toilet access (2 adults & 2 children; value of $99 per person, total value of $396).

How to Enter: All you have to do is write a rhyme or rap about how much fun a Springfree™ Trampoline is, and post it as a comment on this blog entry by 5.00pm AEDT on Sunday 15th January 2012! The rhyme or rap must be a minimum of 4 lines of copy.

How to Rhyme: To write a rhyme, you simply need to make the last word for the second and fourth line rhyme! As you move on to additional lines, the last word in the sixth line needs to rhyme with the eight line and so on. Easy peasy!

Example: A Poem Is a Little Path **
A poem is a little path
That leads you through the trees.
It takes you to the cliffs and shores,
To anywhere you please.

Follow it and trust your way
With mind and heart as one,
And when the journey’s over,
You’ll find you’ve just begun.
** From The 20th Century Children’s Poetry Treasury, Knopf, 1999, copyright by Charles Ghigna.

• The subject of all rhymes or rap must be in some way about how much fun a Springfree™ Trampoline is
• No swearing, drug references or sexual slurs allowed

Weekend Sunrise with Springfree Trampoline Sydney

No Comments » Posted by for australia

This past Sunday, the Springfree Trampoline Experience Centre in Ryde hosted Weekend Sunrise for their outdoor weather broadcast!

James Tobin, Sunrise host, wearing a balloon Jetpack! How fun.

It was a wonderful day with lots of smiles and trampoline jumping. Santa even came all the way from the North Pole in his sleigh to be a part of our special day. There were fun activities for the kids at the Springfree Trampoline Christmas Workshop and breaky for everyone. Mmmm… we loved the delicious bacon and egg rolls!

Santa was on hand to spread the holiday cheer!

We also had Gymnastics NSW trampolinists, Imogen Florian and Owen Gilbert, on hand for incredible trampoline demonstrations.

Beautiful Noah definitely enjoyed the Springfree!

We owe massive thank yous to everyone involved in the success of this event:

  • James Tobin and the Weekend Sunrise TV crew for broadcasting from our Experience Centre;

NEW Award: Springfree Trampoline is Parent Tested Parent Approved!

No Comments » Posted by for canada

We’ve been waiting to tell you all about this one for a while — it’s been top secret. Today we can finally tell everyone that Springfree Trampoline is the proud recipient of the Parent Tested Parent Approved Seal of Approval!

When it comes to safety, parents demand the best. PTPA is the only parent-testing program with over 40,000 volunteer parent testers. Springfree Trampoline is honoured to receive the PTPA Seal of Approval as the safest trampoline for your family. We got glowing reviews from our parent testers:

“The kids absolutely adored using it, but my favorite is the fact that there is a net to keep them safe and no exposure to the springs.”

“This what most impressed me: our friends have a trampoline with springs and there is no comparison between theirs and this one. Extremely durable and obviously very well made.”

“Our family can’t say enough about our Springfree Trampoline. It is hard to get the kids to come in at night because they are having so much fun. Springfree offers a safe alternative to most trampolines on the market and our kids LOVE every minute of it (so do I!!)”

“I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a trampoline. We had a  play set for 2 years but the kids really got bored of it quickly. I can tell already that the trampoline provides more entertainment for them and friends on the street.”

Springfree Trampoline is also the recipient of the 2010 Product of the Year Award (children’s products) in both Canada and the US and the 2010 NAPPA Gold Award for children’s products. To learn more about Springfree Trampoline’s award-winning design, visit our Awards page.

We’re off to have a jump to celebrate!

Springfree Supports Movember

2 Comments » Posted by for canada

We’re halfway through the month of November but some of you may refer to this month as… Movember.

If you’re a frequent reader of the Springfree Trampoline blog, you know that we love anything related to the following: trampolines, family time and health and wellness. The Movember campaign raises funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer. 

For the entire month of Movember, “Mo Bros” dedicate their faces to the campaign. They grow a moustache to become walking and talking billboards for the movement to “change the face of men’s health”.

Ladies, don’t fret if you can’t grow a moustache. “Mo Sistas” can also participate. 

The Canadian Springfree office has a team of Mo Bros: Mo-scular Men.

(From L-R) Joel (business analyst), Steve (chief bouncing officer), Saugar (web/systems manager) & AJ (e-commerce specialist) looking at bit hairier than usual! ;)

Movember’s campaign values are fun, caring and innovative. We can most definitely relate to these values and Springfree Trampoline is happy to participate in this important cause.

Are you a Mo Bro or Mo Sista? Let us know in the comments or share your pic on our Facebook page.

[Our Response] Spring-based trampolines: safe or insane?

No Comments » Posted by for usa

This past Monday we came across an article by Molly Snyder of OnMilwaukee.com regarding trampoline safety. The article concluded,

“Life is dangerous. Trampolines, with rules, are not. Let’s let kids have fun.”

At Springfree Trampoline we believe that spring-based trampolines are an outdated, unnecessary danger. Approximately 100,000 kids are sent to hospitals in North America every year due to injury on spring-based trampolines. We aren’t talking cuts and scrapes – we’re talking broken bones and concussions.

We hear it every day – they can’t be THAT bad? Well, let’s play a game of True or False…

1. Spring-based trampolines can’t be that unsafe if stores have been selling them for years.

False: Currently there are few mandatory trampoline standards. This means manufacturers have no obligation to ensure minimum levels of quality and safety.

2.You have to have a net around it for one thing. That’s the most important feature.

False: While having a trampoline net is important, the net alone is not enough. The enclosures that come with most spring-based trampolines are not made to last and give you a false sense of security. They are held on with large steel poles that drop you right down onto metal springs – not the safety net you were looking for.

3. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that trampolines should never be used in homes, yards or playgrounds.

True: The AAP has a strong stance against spring-based trampolines, and for good reason. Springfree Trampoline is the only trampoline to remove the areas that cause injury – the springs, the hard metal frame at the jumping surface and the risk of falling off. We’re not just trying to sell trampolines – we’re trying to reduce the amount of injuries caused by a popular backyard toy. Part of that effort is working to educate major organizations, like the AAP, about the potential of an alternative design.

 

Lets go back and review that conclusion…

“Life is dangerous. Trampolines, with rules, are not. Let’s let kids have fun.”

Following the jumping rules doesn’t prevent fun – it prevents injuries. As the world’s safest trampoline we are the first to admit that rules are important when jumping on any trampoline. Our jumper rules are always encouraged and available on our trampoline safety page.

But jumper rules aren’t enough. Springfree Trampoline inventor, Dr. Keith Alexander, said it best:

“Trampolines give you this great bouncing surface that kids want to jump on, but then you surround it with big bars of steel and springs and holes – and it’s the kid’s fault if they hurt themselves.”

With the world’s safest trampoline, there’s no need to worry.
