Are spring-based trampolines really safe or is it an illusion?
Are spring-based trampolines really safe or is it an illusion?
It's easy to make the claim that a trampoline is safe,
but when springs and the frame are at the jumping
surface, this safety claim is more of an illusion.
The risk of a head injury is higher on a spring-based trampoline than in a car crash
In 1972, the automobile industry created the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) to measure potential head injuries. In 2009, research was
conducted to use HIC to measure the risk of head injuries on a trampoline.
The only trampoline to pass the safety test
Only the Springfree Trampoline (Medium Round) had no safety failures. The other
9 trampolines tested either failed structural tests, didn’t protect the user from
impact on the frame or enclosure, or had dangerous head entrapment problems or
pinch points.
The Springfree trampoline has passed Consumer NZ independent tests with no
issues. This is the eighth year running that we're recommending Springfree. Their
commitment to safety and customer service is something that is at the core of every-
thing they do, and being Consumer Recommended is an appropriate acknowledgement
of this commitment".

The independent Trampoline safety tests look at how children can use the product
in real life as well as how the trampoline performs and what can happen if children
bounce against the enclosure net or land hard on the padding.
