Now that the summer holidays are well underway, families who, as a precaution, are tempted to release their trampolines may run the risk of causing a real casus belli with the children. So how can we keep them entertained while reducing the risk of accidents, which are common in summer? Quite simply by respecting the terms of use!
Starting with the first which, you must admit, is very rare: only one child is allowed to jump on the trampoline at a time. Dr. Jérémie Nallet, general surgeon at Besançon University Hospital, emphasized: “This is very good, because the worst injuries usually occur when one child falls on another. » The support is also written in black and white on the instructions for use “which parents must read in full”, that Frédéric Landais, president of the Kangui brand, who remembers that, like all toys, trampolines are subject to very strict. strategy and leadership.
Monitor continuously
Another basic principle: surveillance. So we forget quiet aperitifs with friends while the little ones have fun on the trampoline at the bottom of the garden. “Accidents happen when children are excited to play and start to jostle and do anything,” says Grégory Moreau, sales manager for France Trampoline. So they must be taken care of at all ages, including teenagers. »
After a quarter of an hour, if the child starts to get tired, it is better to take him down, because that’s when bad falls happen. Dr. Nallet continues: “Children make toys, they love the toys that are used on the temple. If it’s a softball, it’s good, but when it’s a football, it’s very dangerous. »
Finally, the application must be checked every year. Safety nets – which should never be left behind – need to be changed at the first sign of wear.
