Safety is a top priority for indoor trampoline parks, given the high volume of visitors and active play. Parks implement strict measures to reduce injury risks:
- Professional Staffing: Trained “floor monitors” or coaches patrol the park to enforce rules , assist visitors, and respond to accidents.
- Padding & Enclosures: All hard surfaces (frames, poles, walls, and floor edges) are covered with thick, shock-absorbing foam padding (often wrapped in waterproof vinyl for easy cleaning). High enclosures (mesh or padded walls) surround trampoline courts to prevent falls outside the bounce zone.
- Weight & Age Limits: Clear signage indicates age/weight restrictions for each attraction (e.g., “No adults in the toddler zone).
- Trampoline Maintenance: Regular inspections of trampoline beds (for tears or sagging), springs (for tightness), and padding (for wear) ensure equipment is in safe working order. Most parks follow industry standards (e.g., those set by the International Association of Trampoline Park).
- Safety Briefings: Many parks require visitors (or parents of young kids) to watch a short safety video or listen to a verbal briefing before entering. Outlining rules like “land on two feet,” “no somersaults in crowded areas,” and “stay within your skill level.”
