What is the Professional Trampoline Zone

Created on 08.29

In a trampoline park, we can usually divide the venue into several areas according to the function and risk level. And among them, the professional area is the main battlefield to display skill and courage, so it is quite different from the general zone. The most obvious difference is that the professional area is designed to perform high difficulty aerial skills, while the main task of the general zone is to provide mass entertainment and simple jumping. 

This article makes an in-depth analysis of this “high performance” area from four aspects: game difference, cause analysis, equipment configuration and safety protection.

1.Gameplay Differences

The content of the general zone on the trampoline is relatively simple, which is mainly about vertical bouncing, simple seat drop and back drop, or simple combination with ancillary facilities such as foam pit and climbing wall. The main task of this area is to allow the masses to enjoy the fun of weightlessness. While the professional zone is the place to show skill and body coordination. The good rebound allows the athletes to perform various aerial skills such as front flip, back flip and twist. The unique "Walking Wall” is used to allow the performer to use the vertical wall connected to the trampoline to perform parkour-style complex movements such as wall passing and wall flipping. In addition, if this area is combined with basketball hoops and other equipment, participants can also perform slam dunks that can’t be achieved in the general area.

2.Cause Analysis.

The great difference in gameplay lies in the fact that the materials and structure of the two areas are fundamentally different. The trampoline surface is usually woven with PP material, which has medium elasticity and good toughness and can meet the needs of general entertainment for elasticity and durability. The surface of the professional trampoline is usually woven with high strength nylon webbing or special fiber. The grid structure endows the surface with super elasticity, which can throw the user to a much higher place. At the same time, the spring system of the professional area is also strengthened. It usually uses longer and thicker high performance manganese steel springs to make the spring system more stable and powerful under the condition of high intensity and high frequency impact. Due to the extremely high jump height that can be produced, the professional area also has very strict requirements for the physical space of the venue. Generally speaking, the clearance height should be controlled at more than 5.6 meters, often over 8 meters, to ensure that there is an absolutely safe operation space for the user.

3.Equipment Configuration

To ensure safe and efficient support for the execution of high-difficulty skills, the professional trampoline zone is equipped with a set of specialized facilities organized into a system. The main and most important facilities are the high-performance trampolines. The surface of the high trampolines is much larger and the jump is much better than the regular trampolines. Linked to them are the professional "Walking Walls” which are an essential element of performing the "wall-running” skills; Its surface have specially antislip treated. In the key places there are large foam pits or airbags, which are an essential element of performing High-difficulty moves and a safety element, providing the user with a safe cushioning during landing. In some cases, there are also performance platforms of different heights, used by professional coaches for technical demonstrations or as take-off platforms for advanced users performing specific jumps.

4.Safety Regulations

The professional trampoline zone is the facility area with the highest risk factor. All the users must unconditionally accept and observe the following regulations concerning safety in this zone.

Because of the high rebound, this area is forbidden for people who are not professionally trained and familiar with basic trampoline skills. It is meant for people with gymnastics, parkour or advanced trampolining background.

Any attempt to perform a high-difficulty skill is possible only with the presence of the qualified and professional coach and under his guidance. Blindly copying dangerous actions is forbidden without a coach.

The strict "one person per trampoline" rule, is established to avoid the situation when two people collide into each other in the air and get serious injury.

Therefore, in this zone it is strictly forbidden to be on the same trampoline surface (bed) with another person.

Users must be on the trampoline bed and must start their skill from this bed. It is forbidden to jump from the safety mats surrounding the trampoline. It is forbidden to try to land on the safety mats after performing a jump. All the above-mentioned cases are incorrect and dangerous actions that may lead to a serious injury (spraining an ankle).

Warm-up before entering the professional trampoline zone is also an important preventive measure to avoid possible injuries.
