Springfree - The Safest Trampolines in the World

Springfree™ Trampoline IS statistically proven to be the world’s safest trampoline.

The Springfree™ Trampoline is not just 1% or 2% safer – independent laboratory testing shows our design eliminates the causes of 83% of trampoline injuries.

All other trampolines sold in the market place are inherently more dangerous by design – despite the overlay of attempted safety accessories, including impact attenuation padding and rigid enclosures.

By removing the springs and frame from the same plane as the jumping surface and adding a flexible enclosure, Springfree™ Trampoline has eliminated the impact areas that cause 83% of all trampoline injuries. The remaining 17% of recorded trampoline injuries requiring hospitalisation are caused by jumper collision. This means Springfree™ Trampoline has effectively removed the risk of equipment induced injury.

Table 1: Summary of Trampoline Injury Statistics

Cause	Percent
Fall off of trampoline	52%
Fall onto the frame or springs	31%
Hit another child on the trampoline	17%

Industry Standard impact ratings for trampoline based impacts (Head Injury Criterion - HIC) calculate that if a child's head falls from 1.5m on to a traditional trampoline with perimeter frame there is a ~99% chance of injury.

This rating is calculated AFTER the addition of rigid jumping enclosures and basic safety pads. These "safety features" do not change this statisically derived injury rating. The most recent USA based studies show an increase of 113% in Emergency Department (ED) visits for trampoline-related injuries over the previous study period, with a mean of 88,563 ED visits per year for trampoline-related injuries among 0-18 year-olds, 95% of which occurred at home.

Recent studies suggest these hospitalizations represent only ~10% of all injuries caused – suggesting more than 800,000 American children are injured on old style trampolines each year.

Applying the same test regime to the Springfree™ Trampoline results in a statistically derived risk assement showing there is a ~99% chance of NO injury in these areas (springs and frame) using the Springfree™ Trampoline.

Springfree Award

The Parents’ Choice Foundation (U.S.) has selected Springfree Trampoline as one of the winners of its coveted 2009 children’s toy awards. The Foundation is the nation’s oldest nonprofit guide to quality children’s media and toys. According to the Foundation’s recommendation

“Although our judges are not in the habit of awarding trampolines, the Springfree had so many unique safety features that they couldn’t deny. Our testers, ranging in age from six to sixty-six, found skills they hadn’t known, confidence that needed reawakening, and a hefty dose of much needed family fun. If your family has been thinking about a trampoline, this is highly recommended and worth serious consideration”.

Using a trampoline has many health benefits that your children will reap whilst having fun. Trampolines provide a great cardiovascular workout, building up stamina and strength in muscles whilst fuelling the body's organs with extra oxygen. Any equipment that gets your children active is a good thing and trampolines are the way to go right now.
