In recent years trampolines have become the must-have garden play and fitness equipment. But their popularity has led to a flood of poor quality, potentially dangerous, cheap trampolines entering the market.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) statistics indicate that an increasing number of people are being hospitalised due to trampoline related injuries. While many injuries can be considered minor, there are numerous incidents of serious injuries that have led to paralysis and even death. The most vulnerable are smaller children, under the age of six.

When buying a garden trampoline it is important that safety should be the top priority. All trampolines available from the Climbing Frames UK trampoline shop have been carefully selected for their premium quality and outstanding safety features.

A good example is our Alley Oop Double Bounce 14ft Trampoline. This outstanding piece of sports equipment is packed with features which set it apart from cheap, dangerous imitations.

1. The recommended safety net is far more robust and the net wraps outside of the support poles. A safety enclosure net is recommended to prevent injury from falling from the trampoline.
2. The innovative doublebounce technology provides shock absorption and lessens the risk of injury as a result of an awkward fall.
3. The variable bounce technology provides a softer landing and gentler rebound making it easier to control bouncing height.
4. Rest zones are provided within the safety net to allow children to rest and wait safely. Most injuries on a trampoline occur when there are more than one user.
5. The padding used for the springs and frame use a reinforced vinyl fabric containing a full inch of gym quality padding. Cheaper alternatives use a woven nylon pad with only half an inch of soft, low grade foam.

These are just a few of the key safety features that will help to ensure long, safe and enjoyable use of this outstanding trampoline.
