See why Springfree Trampolines are the safest trampolines in the world! Don't just take the manufacturer's word for it. Watch the film below with David Yearly from ROSPA evaluating the Springfree Trampoline.

THE SAFEST TRAMPOLINE IN THE WORLD Results of research into the cause of injuries (Table 1 above) show that about 52% of hospital visits from conventional trampolines result from falling off the trampoline altogether. Because SpringFree has made the enclosure an integral part of its design and only sell the trampoline with an enclosure, there is little chance that injuries will result from people falling off. Table 1 shows that 31% of hospital visits arise from contact with the springs or frame. Since the SpringFree trampoline does not have springs and holes around the edge, there has to be a complete absence of injuries from springs, from falling through the holes between them or from sliding into them under the padding. And given the very low HIC values in Table 2 above one would expect an almost 100% reduction in the types of injuries caused by contact with the frame or edge. The table implies it could be less than 1% of the present injury rate.

	Traditional Trampoline	SpringFree Trampoline
Cause	Percent	Percent
Fall off trampoline	52%	0.5%
Land onto springs or frame	31%	0.3%
Hit another kid on trampoline	17%	17%
Total	100%	18%
Springfree eliminate at least 83% of the possibility of a trampoline accident compared with a traditional trampoline.

This shows that the SpringFree trampoline has the potential to reduce injuries from contact with the trampoline itself, or with the ground to about 1% of the current reported levels.

The remaining risk of injury is primarily that resulting from inappropriate use where multiple jumpers strike each other.

One final point is that the SpringFree mat is intentionally softer than many others on the market (See “Mat Stiffness” below). A large number of minor injuries in the databases are strains and sprains. This large number suggests that there will be many more that go unreported. While there are no definite statistics it seems evident that a softer mat will reduce the number of these lower grade injuries.

So in conclusion, the SpringFree claim to be the safest trampoline would seem to be very well supported by recent available evidence.
