TogglePre-entry preparation:
Check the venue’s official website or call ahead to learn about age, height, weight restrictions, and special requirements.
If you have any health conditions (such as heart problems, pregnancy, recent surgery, osteoporosis, etc.), please consult your doctor.
It is recommended to book the indoor bounce trampoline park online in advance to avoid long queues during peak hours.
Clothing requirements:
You must wear non-slip socks (usually available on-site or bring your own).
Wear elastic, well-fitting sportswear; avoid loose clothing, hoodies, or accessories.
Remove all sharp objects: necklaces, earrings, watches, keys, etc.
It is recommended to use a secure strap for glasses or switch to contact lenses.
Empty your pockets to prevent items from flying out during jumps.
Upon entry, please do not immediately begin vigorous jumping. Follow these steps:
Watch the safety video: Listen carefully to the staff’s explanation. Even if it’s your first time, rules may vary slightly between venues.
Static stretching: Focus on stretching your ankles, knees, wrists, and neck. Hold each position for 15-20 seconds.
Light dynamic warm-up: Perform light jogging in place and high knees in non-jumping areas for 5 minutes.
Start with simple jumps: Begin with low, controlled jumps on a single platform to allow your body to adjust to the bounce.
One Person, One Bed: Unless it is a specially designed double or family trampoline, only one person is allowed to use each trampoline.
Sight Rule: Ensure there is no one in your line of sight before jumping to avoid collisions.
Center Principle: Try to jump in the center of the trampoline, avoiding the edges or spring areas.
Rest and Leave: If you need to rest, please leave the trampoline area completely and go to the designated rest area.
No Sitting or Lying Down: Do not sit or lie down on the edges of the trampoline or on the mat; these areas are for passage only.
Even low-intensity jumping is a full-body aerobic exercise on a trampoline, so proper rest is essential:
Timed Rest: It is recommended to rest for 5-10 minutes after every 15-20 minutes of jumping.
Pay Attention Signals: Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, have difficulty breathing, or experience muscle tremors.
Adequate Hydration: Venues usually allow water bottles in the rest areas; drink in small sips frequently.
Energy Supplementation: Bring small, healthy snacks to replenish energy during rest periods.
Foam Pool:
Always enter the pool feet first.
Move to the exit immediately after entering to avoid obstructing others.
Never attempt to enter headfirst or roll into the pool.
Basketball Trampoline Area:
Make sure no one is under the hoop before shooting.
Pay attention to your landing posture after shooting and maintain your balance.
Professional Running Track Area (if available):
Typically designed for advanced players; beginners should practice in the basic area before attempting this.
Strictly follow the safety rules for this area.
Keep your core engaged: Slightly engage your core to help control your body.
Arm coordination: Swing your arms naturally, avoid excessive swinging.
Look forward: Focus on a fixed point in front of you to help maintain balance.
Knees slightly bent: Keep your knees flexible when landing to avoid locking your joints.
Distribute impact: Land on the balls of your feet first, then your heels, and finally your knees with a slight bend to absorb the impact.
Maintain continuity: If you lose your balance, continue with another low jump; this is safer than abruptly stopping.
Falling techniques: If a fall is unavoidable, curl up as much as possible, using your arms to protect your head, and avoid landing directly on your wrists.
Do not attempt advanced moves on your own: somersaults, twists, and other similar moves must be performed under the guidance of a professional coach.
Use appropriate protective gear: When attempting advanced moves, it is recommended to wear wrist supports, knee pads, etc.
Learn within your limits: Do not attempt a move just because a partner can do it.
Children aged 3-12 must be under constant adult supervision; never let them out of your sight.
Choose areas appropriate for children’s age and avoid areas with high intensity for adults.
Teach children to take turns waiting to avoid fighting.
Ensure children understand and follow the “one person, one bed” rule.
For first-timers, it’s recommended to choose off-peak hours; fewer people make it easier to learn the techniques.
Consider taking an introductory course offered by the venue.
Going with an experienced friend provides immediate guidance.
Don’t exceed one hour for your first experience to avoid muscle fatigue.
Even experienced athletes should warm up before each session.
Before attempting a new move, ensure there is sufficient safety space around you.
Avoid complex movements when fatigued, as injuries are more common when physical strength is low.
Regularly review your technique to avoid developing dangerous movement patterns.
Absolutely prohibited behaviors:
● Pushing, shoving, or chasing on the trampoline
● Attempting actions beyond your capabilities
● Jumping from a high point to a lower point or from a trampoline of different heights
● Bringing any food or drink into the trampoline area
● Jumping on a sweaty or wet surface
● Jumping between two trampolines
● Landing headfirst or on your stomach
● Jumping under someone else
● Sitting, lying down, or remaining in the trampoline area
● Entering the area after taking alcohol or drugs
Indoor Trampoline Benefits
Trampoline exercise is an excellent low-impact aerobic exercise, putting 80% less stress on joints than running. It can improve balance, coordination, core strength, and cardiovascular health, while releasing endorphins to help relieve stress, making it a fun and full-body workout.
At What Age Can Children Enter Indoor Bounce Trampoline Park?
Most venues accept children aged 3 and up, but age restrictions vary by venue. Children aged 3-5 usually have a designated toddler area with strict adult supervision requirements. It is recommended to check specific venue policies in advance.
Do I Need To Make An Appointment In Advance? How Long Can You Play Once?
Advance booking is strongly recommended for weekends and holidays; reservations may not be necessary on weekdays. A single visit typically lasts 60-120 minutes, depending on the ticket type. For first-time visitors, a 60-90 minute session is recommended to avoid overexertion.
