What is the safest trampoline in Australia?
If you are looking for a trampoline that offers limited hospital trips and having to go the shop for a trusty BAND-AID, then the spring-free trampoline is the one for you. While spring-free tramps are not completely injury-proof (as we said earlier, the possibilities were endless), they do reduce the risk of harm.
Unlike the traditional tramp, spring-free trampolines have more porosity - this means that they pump less air, taking the pressure off the jumper.
