Seeing that summer will soon be here once more youngsters all over the country will be asking their mom and dad for trampolines as well as climbing frames to play on in their gardens. At this point many concerned parents will say no because they are too dangerous resulting in summer long arguments and general grumpiness from the kids.
While trampolines are a great way to keep the children entertained on a hot summers day they may also be quite dangerous with 1000s of young children needing a trip to A&E every year. Each year thousands of children end up in hospital with cuts, bruises or worse that they get from playing on trampolines. The good news is a solution to the risks presented by trampolines has been designed so kids can jump away to their hearts content without fear of injury. In the first major redesign of the trampoline since it was made around 70 years ago a trampoline has been created which eliminates the the two areas where individuals are most likely to be hurt. One of the major problems with the old style of trampolines was the springs with wounds often sustained by either falling through or landing on the edge of the trampoline itself. The previous solution to this issue was to cover the springs with padding however it was at best an inadequate solution with lots of injuries still being sustained and a costly one as the padding would need replacing every 2-3 years at a significant cost. The Springfree Trampoline has been developed to do away with these issues and change trampoline technology. Instead of springs bounce is supplied by a system of rods so that the frame and the spring system is now lower than the jumping surface area helping to prevent accidents and injuries with the Springfree Softedge system. Other improvements to guarantee the safety of youngsters include the Flexinet fencing system that is just found on Springfree trampolines. Nets have been around for some time but usually used rigid steel pipes which were just as likely to hurt kids as keep them safe and sound. The Flexinet enclosure uses a flexible frame system which softly directs kids to the centre of the trampoline. This summer time if your youngsters must have a trampoline to play on make sure it is a safe one that use Springfree technology to keep them safe and sound.
