Standard Practice for Design, Manufacture, Installation, Operation, Maintenance, Inspection and Major Modification of Trampoline Courts
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is intended to provide consistent criteria, references and operational considerations in the specifications, management and construction of institutional trampoline courts.
4.2 This practice is intended to be taken into consideration by architects, designers, engineers, construction contractors, manufacturers, appropriate inspectors, owners and operators who are involved with the design, construction, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, inspection or major modification of institutional trampoline courts.
4.3 This practice does not apply to consumer trampolines, trampolines intended for use on water, trampolines intended for use as aquatic play equipment, trampolines primarily used for professional exhibition, or single user trampolines primarily used under the direct supervision of a trainer or coach.
4.4 This standard does not apply to stand alone institutional trampoline units that consist of one or more individual stations with a total bed area less than 37 000 in.2 (238 709.2 cm2) and employ a mechanical harnessed system to control or direct the descent of a patron.
4.5 This standard does not apply to stand alone institutional trampoline units that consist of one or more individual stations with a total bed area less than 37 000 in.2 (238 709.2 cm2) and employ individual chambers divided with small mesh netting to control or direct the descent of a patron.
4.6 This standard does not apply to inflatable amusement devices covered by Practice F2374.
4.6.1 This standard applies to trampoline courts that mount or dismount onto an inflatable impact attenuation system.
4.7 Trampoline courts that employ a device designed to introduce additional energy into the suspension or bed system are outside the scope of this standard practice.
4.8 For the purpose of this standard, consideration shall be given within the design and for operation of a trampoline court with activities including but not limited to: bouncing, jum...
SCOPE
1.1 The purpose of this practice is to delineate requirements regarding the design, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, inspection and major modification of commercial or institutional trampoline courts with the primary purpose of amusement, entertainment or recreation.
1.2 This standard applies to institutional trampoline courts that are located in and around amusement, entertainment or recreational facilities. Such facilities include but are not limited to trampoline parks, amusement parks, theme parks, water parks, family entertainment centers, fitness centers, gyms, gymnastics facilities, sports facilities, skate parks, camps, shopping centers, temporary special events, carnivals and municipal parks.
1.3 This practice establishes guidelines that will provide a level of conformity for the purpose of reducing potential hazards to patrons, court attendants, and spectators.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the hazards associated with institutional trampoline courts. The standard’s existence alone will not prevent injuries. Like other physical activities, institutional trampoline court use involves the risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is used improperly or if users exceed their capabilities, endurance, training, or experience.
1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.6 This practice includes an annex (mandatory), which provides additional information (for example, rationale, background, interpretations, drawings, commentary, and so forth) to improve the user’s understanding and application of the criteria presented in this practice. The annex information shall be interpreted as mandatory criteria.
1.7 This practice includes an appendix (non-mandatory), which provides additional i...
