Recently, several mass market trampoline manufacturers have recalled poorly constructed models that collapsed and caused head, neck and back injuries, broken bones, sprains, lacerations and bruises. Weak welding resulted in broken frames that caused jumpers to fall to the ground and/or be cut by the newly exposed sharp edges

Safety Concerns about Mass Market Trampolines
For safety experts, these recalls aren’t surprising, and are indicative of a number of manufacturers pushing inferior and unsafe trampolines and improperly labeled trampoline accessories on consumers uneducated about the risks involved in trampoline use. These companies marketed their trampolines through big name retailers who attract buyers with low prices. Low purchase price doesn’t equal long term cost savings however.

The Value Solution
There are trampolines and trampoline safety enclosures that deliver engineered quality and safety at a reasonable price (we recommend JumpSport). While products featuring safe and durable designs and materials may involve a slightly higher original investment, over the life of the trampoline they cost their owners significantly less and give a higher return in safety, fitness and family enjoyment.
