You’ve probably heard someone say on more than one occasion that trampoline parks are risky places to visit with your children. Many parents have safety concerns. At Sky Zone Charlotte, we go out of our way to keep ALL jumpers safe. If you have been leery of planning a trip to Sky Zone Charlotte, please read about these common misconceptions about trampoline jumping.
1. Trampolines are dangerous. From bike riding and skateboarding to children’s sports and playground fun, a host of activities can pose risks for injuries. Proper use and adult supervision is key to safety for many activities that children enjoy, including trampoline jumping. Children should not jump too closely to one another or engage in stunts, such as flips and summersaults. Also, jumpers should not bring toys or objects from home on trampolines.
2. Trampoline parks are not safe. Taking precautions minimizes the risks to jumpers. At Sky Zone Charlotte, we make safety a top priority. Our jumpers are separated by age to keep our jumpers safe. Enforcing age zones prevents younger children from being knocked down and potentially hurt by older children and adults jumping. Even parents are not allowed to jump with their children as a safety measure. We also have Sky Zone employees stationed at jump zones. They attentively monitor jumpers with safety in mind at all times.
3. Trampoline parks are germ-breeding grounds. The truth is all public places expose you to germs. We take important steps at Sky Zone Charlotte to keep our facility as clean and germ-free as possible. Our Sky Zone Charlotte trampoline park facility and equipment are cleaned and sanitized each evening in an effort to prevent the spread of germs.
4. I’m too old to jump on trampolines. Don’t let age hold you back. Trampoline jumping is easier on the joints than many forms of exercise like running and tennis. Trampoline pads absorb more of the shock from jumping and relieve joint stress that people often experience when jumping on hard surfaces. Other benefits associated with trampolines include strengthening bones, toning muscles, improving coordination, boosting energy and relieving stress. All of these areas are important to our health as we age.
