The History of Trampolines in the Modern Era.

One thing that really surprised me when researching the history of trampolines online was the time scale in which they have been used and available. Originally in there primitive for they were brought about by Inuit tribes in a very crude form of animal skin used to perform bouncing of people. The use of the animal skins progressed into its now mechanical form only in the 1930′s in the USA. The makers of the trampolines began there own business producing them on a larger scale originally used for a gymnastics point of view its is only over the past 30 years that this has progressed to the family garden trampoline.

The military used trampolines for pilot training and astronauts used them to practice a non gravity enviroment. The current role of the trampoline in the modern enviroment are several purposes. Firstly from a fitness point of view the trampolines are used to lose weight and tone the body and legs. Its is friendly on joints also so well worth considering as an alternative to something like hard running.

Circus events locally and nationally use them for the entertainment aspect providing a great range of tricks and stunts. If you are considering the gymnastic aspect then the majority of competition trampolines are of the rectangle variety. The main makers of the competition trampolines are based in Essex in the UK.

Always make safety your priority when you are using trampolines or even watching others. A safe surround padding and safety enclosure will help provide an excellent safe environment for kids using trampolines in the garden. Footwear is also something to consider go without your boots and trainers and just wear socks this way there is less chance of any tears on the trampoline base.

Third is the size of the trampoline consider 14ft , 12ft and 10ft trampolines can be cvery large in small gardens plus 8ft trampolines can seem too small in large gardens so consider your own personal circumstance. Also the amount of people that will be using the trampoline including there age and dare I say it there weight. The more expensive a trampoline 9 times out of 10 the larger weight it can take. This is because it has thicker padding, netting and stronger springs.

Like anything don’t run before you can walk and take it easy and build up your confidence on the trampoline.

Beginning with the standard somersault practiced well can then progressing into a double somersault and so on.  A front somersault that ends in falling in a sitting position which can then bounce back up to be in a fully standing position.

Experienced trampoline tricksters bounce from one trampoline to another and can even time this with one of there friends bouncing in the other direction. This is when accidents do happen the chances of injury increase dramatically when more than one person is bouncing at the same time. At the end of the day there is only so much control available when bouncing.

Trampoline tricks safety is always number one and children should be supervised.

A spin is nice when bouncing pull your knees into your stomach as fast as possible and spin the result is a great looking trick that gathers up some great speed. Always start bouncing and landing in the sitting position and the standing position and try new variations on trampoline tricks.
