FLIPPIN' FUN SAFETY
Trampolines are such great fun but like many activities with advanced techniques there is a chance of injury. We want all our jumpers to flip safely with due consideration for others. We kindly ask our jumpers to adhere to the following rules.
SAFETY DO'S AND DON'TS
ALWAYS:
- Wear only grip socks or bare feet ensure good grip.
- Empty your pockets and remove jewellery that may damage the tramps.
- Always watch out for other jumpers & allow smaller jumpers right of way.
- Walk onto and off the tramps
- Safely land on two feet or your seat when bouncing.
- Always follow all park rules and the Court Monitor’s instructions
- Only attempt skills or activities within your personal limitations, abilities or skill level.
DO NOT:
- double bounce, wrestle or roughhouse.
- run, push or play tag.

SAFETY FIRST
Trampolining is statistically much safer than many sports –yet it’s still a fairly extreme sport…which is why we’re extremely careful about keeping our jumpers safe.
Our terms and conditions outline the risks and anyone jumping at FLIPPIN’ FUN is deemed to have accepted these conditions prior to jumping and the responsibility to follow them.
Our rules and safety guidelines have been developed to minimise the chance of injuries and dangerous situations, especially for inexperienced jumpers. Our staff will be enforcing the rules so please make sure you and your charges are familiar with them as we reserve to right to remove offenders from the tramps
Staff members perform daily equipment and maintenance checks to ensure all equipment is functioning properly.
Once checked in 15 minutes prior to your session time we will screen a video outlining FLIPPIN’ FUN’S rules and safety requirements to make sure everyone has the most fun safely on our awesome trampolines.
Our well trained FLIPPIN’ FUN Crew are always on patrol to make sure everyone is observing the park rules at all times.
