Now that summer will soon be here again youngsters all over the country will be asking their parents for trampolines and climbing frames to play on in their backyards. At this point many worried parents will say no because they are too dangerous leading to summer long arguments and general grumpiness from the kids.
While trampolines are an easy way to keep the children amused on a hot summers day they may also be quite dangerous with thousands of kids needing a trip to A&E each year. Every year a large number of youngsters end up in hospital with cuts, bruises or worse which they sustain from playing on trampolines. Thankfully an answer to the risks presented by trampolines has been produced so kids can jump away to their hearts content without fear of injury. In the first major overhaul of the trampoline since it was made around 70 years ago a trampoline has been developed that does away with the two areas where people are most likely to be hurt. One of the main issues with the old design of trampolines was the springs with harm often sustained by either falling through or landing on the edge of the trampoline itself. The previous solution to this concern was to cover the springs with extra padding however it was at best an ineffective answer with many injuries still being sustained and a costly one as the padding would need replacing every 2-3 years at a substantial cost. The Springfree Trampoline has been designed to eradicate these issues and revolutionise trampoline technology. Instead of springs bounce is provided by a system of rods so that the frame as well as the spring system is now lower than the jumping surface helping prevent accidents and accidental injuries with the Springfree Softedge system. Other developments to ensure the safety of youngsters include the Flexinet fencing system which is only found on Springfree trampolines. Nets have been around for a while but generally used rigid steel pipes which were equally likely to hurt children as keep them safe. The Flexinet enclosure is special since it uses a flexible frame system instead of steel pipes to softly and safely guide kids back to the centre of the trampoline. This summer time if your children must have a trampoline to play on make sure it is a safe one that use Springfree technology to keep them safe and sound. You can locate a great selection of Springfree trampolines online and also in your nearby toy store.
