SAFETY RULES & GUIDELINES

SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER 1 PRIORITY

Please understand the risks & take care. BOUNCE is an action sports facility where injuries can happen. Like all sports, participants need to decide if the benefits of involvement are worth the risk of injury. Jumping, rebounding using trampolines creates the risk for potential injury even when being safe. The potential for injury is greatly reduced when you :

JUMP SAFE
JUMP WITHIN YOUR SKILL LEVEL
FOLLOW THE RULES
WATCH OUT FOR OTHER JUMPERS

The whole point of BOUNCE is to have as much fun as possible jumping around. A critical part of this is a safe and soft landing and a safe environment to enjoy a real sense of freedom. Our rules and guidelines are designed to keep everyone safe and minimise the chance of injury. Rules are shown below in four categories: General Safety Rules (apply to the whole centre), Big Bag Safety Rules, “The Wall” Safety Rules, Performance Trampoline Safety rules, Slam Dunk rules & Dodgeball game rules. You will also find these rules displayed around BOUNCE. Please read them carefully and follow them.
