As you likely noted from our last blog post, we’re focusing on the all-important topic of keeping your kids safe around your home. Last time, we talked about the importance of installing an alarm system in and around your pool. Now, we’d like to talk about ways that you can keep your kids safe when they’re enjoying time on the trampoline.
Trampolines are a lot of fun, but they also pose a significant health hazard. Some estimates state that trampoline injuries occur over 100,000 times a year. To help you and your kids avoid being part of that statistic, here are some questions that can help you determine ways to improve your trampoline safety:
- Have I read the manufacturer’s instructions for my trampoline?
- Is the area around the trampoline covered in soft ground, or are there objects that may be hazardous if my child were to fall on them?
- Should I install a safety net around the border of the trampoline?
- Is there a weight or person limit for my trampoline?
