Circular Trampolines are best for families!

Posted on by

Hi everyone,

I thought we would talk today about the benefits of a circular trampoline for families.  Although trampolines can come in various shapes and sizes, it is important to note that rectangular trampolines should be used by trained gymnasts under close supervision only.  For the average person, a circular trampoline will meet all of your bouncing needs!

Here are just a few reasons why circular trampolines are the best bet for an average family!

  • Although the springs can allow users to jump quite high, the bounce from a circular trampoline cannot reach the heights achieved by rectangular trampolines.  Rest assured that your family will remain safe and secure within the confines of a circular trampoline and a properly fitted safety net!
  • The round shape of circular trampolines distribute the weight and pressure from the jumper evenly, ensuring a more easily calculated landing.
  • Because the jump mats in circular trampolines are thinner,  users can enjoy a more comfortable, controlled, and lower bounce.

Okay, readers. Have you ever compared a circular trampoline to other trampoline shapes? What was your reaction?  In your opinion, which shape is the most practical shape for general family use?

Trampolines and the Fire Brigade

Posted on by

Trampolines are notorious for providing hours of family fun, but many people do not realise that they have a long history with saving lives!

Fire brigades all around the world have been using trampolines to aid people who are in emergency situations.  Frequently, firemen use trampolines to provide a safe landing for individuals who may be trapped in burning buildings.  They position a high-quality trampoline underneath an open window and instruct the person in danger to jump out of the window and onto the trampoline mat. Upon landing, the person is cradled by the trampoline jump mat and gently rebounds until he or she can regain enough balance to stand up and walk away unharmed.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about these fire brigade trampolines is their sheer size.  These trampolines are much larger and of a much higher quality than recreational trampolines.  These powerful trampolines feature pads on top of the jumping mat to absorb shock and to increase the safety of the jumper.

Do you know of anyone who has been saved by a fire brigade trampoline?  How did they describe the experience?  What do you think the best thing about fire brigade trampolines would be?

Trampoline Headaches

Posted on by

Occasionally, new trampolines can cause headaches to users.  Headaches are the result of tight muscles in the neck which, in turn, can affect the whole head.  The tightness of the neck muscles fluctuate throughout the day, depending on the time of day and the kinds of activity that are being done.  A small number of unlucky people may feel more pressure and tightness in their muscles whenever they begin to jump on a trampoline.  When they stop jumping, the pain dissipates.

If you are among the unfortunate minority who does experience trampoline-induced headaches, you must release tension in your neck.  Relax your body by taking a deep breath.  Place your hands along the side of the head so that your thumbs are under your ears and your fingers are behind your head.  Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold for 45 seconds.  After this time has passed, slowly lower your head to look at your feet.  Ease up on the pressure, but make sure that your neck remains lowered for an additional 30 seconds. While still maintaining a lowered neck position, reposition your thumbs under your ears and place your fingers behind the head, this time at the base of the skull.  Repeat the above action before jumping on the trampoline again.

Hope this helps!

Keeping Cool This Summer

Posted on by

Summer is right around the corner, and everyone is ready feel the sizzle again!  How will you keep this cool this summer?  Here are some of my favorite ways!

Swimming pools and ocean swims remain the most popular way to cool down in those hot, muggy summer days. Swimming not only cools the body down;  it’s also an excellent form of exercise!  Swimming tones and strengthens every muscle in the body and is an extremely low-impact exercise.

If you like to add a little bounce to your summer swimming plans, consider investing in a water trampoline.  Water trampolines are rapidly rising in popularity and are treasured for their fun, kid-friendly properties.  Essentially, water trampolines are floating rebounding devices that allow jumpers to jump directly off of the jump mat into the water.  Caution: never allow users to jump on water trampolines if they cannot see the bottom!

For fun the whole family can enjoy, try a water-balloon fight in the garden!  Friendly fire will ensue when Mum and Dad plan an ambush on the kids, and the best part is that everyone wins!

Hey readers–what’s your favorite summer cool-down activity?
