Structure & Components
Check the physical condition of your trampoline frame, springs, mat, and enclosure.
Safety enclosure net installed Critical ASTM F381-16 §5.5

Placement & Environment
Where and how your trampoline is positioned matters as much as its condition.
At least 6ft clearance on all sides ASTM F381-16 §6.1
No overhead obstructions within 9ft CPSC 4-17
On level ground CPSC
Away from fences, walls, structures ASTM F381-16 §6.1

Usage & Supervision
How your trampoline is used and maintained affects safety as much as its physical condition.
One jumper at a time rule enforced AAOS / CPSC
Adult supervision for children under 6 AAP / CPSC
No somersaults or flips (except trained) AAOS
