Currently there are few mandatory trampoline standards. This means that in most countries manufacturers have no obligation to ensure minimum levels of quality and safety. In North America major retailers require testing to confirm that the items they sell are made to standard.
On a Springfree Trampoline, impact zones have been engineered out of the jumping area. Our SoftEdge‚Ñ¢ is 30 times softer than existing standards for padding over springs on traditional trampolines.
We have compiled current trampoline standards from around the world for your reference.
