Since summer will soon be here again youngsters all over the country will be asking their mom and dad for trampolines and climbing frames to play on in their backyards. At this point many worried parents will say no since they’re too dangerous leading to summer long arguments and general grumpiness from the youngsters.While trampolines are a great way to keep the children amused on a nice summers day they can be quite dangerous with thousands of young children needing a trip to A&E each year. Every year thousands of youngsters end up in hospital with cuts, bruises or worse that they sustain from playing on trampolines. Thankfully a solution to the risks presented by trampolines has been developed so kids can jump away to their hearts content without fear of injury. The trampoline has long been due a revamp because the design of the trampolone has barely altered since it was first developed more than 70 years ago. One of the major complaints about the old type of trampolines was the springs with injuries often sustained by either falling through or landing on the edge of the trampoline itself. The old solution to this concern was to cover the springs with extra padding however this was at best an ineffective solution with a lot of injuries still being sustained and an expensive one as the extra padding would need replacing every 2-3 years at a considerable cost. Trampolines that make use of Springfree technology have been designed in order to do away with these difficulties that have plagued trampolines since they were first designed. Instead of springs bounce is provided by a system of rods which means that the frame and the spring system is now lower than the jumping area helping prevent accidents and accidental injuries with the Springfree Softedge system. Other advancements to ensure the safety of youngsters include the Flexinet fencing system which is just found on Springfree trampolines. Nets have been around for some time but normally employed rigid steel pipes which were equally likely to injure children as keep them safe. The Flexinet enclosure uses a flexible frame system which gently directs youngsters to the centre of the trampoline. This summer if your kids must have a trampoline to play on ensure it is a safe one that use Springfree technology to keep them safe and sound. You can locate a superb range of Springfree trampolines and climbing frames online and buy trampolines in local toy store.
