5 Types of Trampoline Pads Needed for Safety
|
Trampolines account for a huge number of injuries in a home. Over 70% of those injuries are caused by falling off the trampoline all together, or falling onto the frame of the trampoline. Is there a way to reduce this high risk of injury? You bet there is! You can start by insuring that you have the proper safety precautions setup on the trampoline before anyone ever sets up the trampoline. A good set of trampoline pads will offer a great way to offer that protection. Many people choose to bury their trampoline by digging a hole, and the trampoline then does not need a net or enclosure, but you will still need trampoline pads. These trampoline pads will cover the springs, cords, or rods that connect the trampoline mat to the trampoline frame. These are always a necessity even if you find you do not need the safety offered by the trampoline netting. 1. One type of those trampoline pads is about 1-inch thick. This is actually relatively thin for a trampoline pad. 2. Another type of those trampoline pads is about 2-inches thick. This is considered top notch and ideal for thickness of the pads. 3. You will find another type of trampoline pads are simply set upon the spring and tied down. This does not offer quite the protection of the other trampoline pads. 4. One of the better trampoline pads I have seen fit around the entire spring system and then is snapped into place. This does not allow for the movement that other types of trampoline pads may allow. 5. There are also trampoline pads that are solid piece; there are those that are separate pieces. The solid pieces have the benefit of adding additional protection. No matter what type of trampoline pads you get for your trampoline, you should always make sure you get material that is UV rated extremely high. You will find that the weather can really give those trampoline pads a beating; the sun is no different. Trampoline pads offer the benefit of adding protection and peace of mind for those you love while they are utilizing the trampoline. Yes, they may be an extra cost, but you have to ask yourself how much your family's safety is worth to you. While various prices will offer varying degrees of protection, you will find even a cheap set of trampoline pads is better than no trampoline pads at all.
