Children and adults love to jump and bounce, sometimes for hours, for
play and exercise. Trampolines are a fantastic way to stay healthy and
fit. With many new technological advancements, they have become safer than
ever before. We don't see many trampolines without strong reinforced nets for safety, but here are a few safety innovations you may not have heard of.
- Springfree trampolines have eliminated the traditional spring
system and offer a wider jumping
surface and a softer bounce.
- The AlleyOOP Double Bed is actually two trampolines. You can bounce on
the top bed, and the second bed is eight inches below. When the bottom
bed engages, it takes stress off knees and joints and creates a much
softer and more controlled bounce. A great deal of the kickback force of the
top bed is removed and offers less displacement when there are multiple
jumpers.
- A Surestep Trampoline Ladder is
easy to assemble and is non-permanent, so that it can be removed easily
in order to limit access to the trampoline. In addition to having
lasting weather protection, the two-step ladder fits most trampolines
between 33 inches and 37 inches tall and has large, flat platform steps.
With safety taken care of, it's time to explore the
playfort accessories for even more enjoyment. Here are a couple that look fun:
-
A Pro Flex Basketball Hoop is designed specifically to be used with
AlleyOOP Safety Enclosures. It attaches securely and comes with a
reinforced full-size backboard, a cushioned hoop, heavy-duty hardware,
and a five-inch inflatable basketball.
- An Outback Tent can be used for daytime adventures or sleepovers. Made
specifically for AlleyOOP and JumpSport Sports Safety Enclosures on 12
to 14 foot round trampolines, this giant 11-feet-across and 5.5 feet
high tent has a netted/screened zippered door and three windows, a full
floor, and attaches easily to the Safety Enclosure in under five
minutes. No poles are used; the tent uses bungee cords that are
suspended to the bottom and top of the enclosure.
