Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 23659:2022(E)
Introduction
Trampoline parks offer a wide range of social, recreational and sport-based activities and can be aimed
towards people of varying ages and skill levels. Risk-taking is a feature of trampoline parks. Trampoline
parks aim to offer users the chance to encounter acceptable risks as part of a stimulating, challenging
and controlled environment. As such they have the responsibility to balance the need to offer risk and
the need to keep users safe from serious harm.
The existence of and adherence to this document will not prevent all injuries. Trampoline use has
an inherent risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is used or supervised improperly. A high
percentage of trampoline park users are children. Children benefit from, and develop knowledge and
skill by, experimenting on equipment.
This document aims to define requirements that minimize the likelihood of serious and fatal accidents
while allowing users, especially children, to expand their level of competence, socialize and enjoy
themselves.
The most serious risks involved in any trampolining activity are spinal and neck injuries that can
arise from incorrectly performed actions and failed landings. Experience has shown that adolescents
and adults are more likely to perform high-risk actions. In trampoline parks the most frequent injury
mechanisms are uncontrolled landings and misjudgement of one‘s own capabilities, resulting in both
minor and more severe injuries.
For trampoline parks, potential risks can be reduced through construction (design, manufacture and
installation) and operation (supervision, staff training, maintenance, instructions and continuous risk
management etc.). Ongoing work to identify possible risks and injury scenarios is essential to ensure
that all critical risks are mitigated and that all reasonable safety measures are established in the form
of safety policies, safety procedures, safety information to users, staff education, etc.
This document aims to:
— reflect the range of trampoline park concepts found on the market, from parks for children to areas
aimed at target groups with high gymnastic demands and prior knowledge;
— set a general framework for design and operating conditions;
— prevent accidents with a disabling or fatal consequence;
— not restrict the manufacturer’s construction freedom;
— not to restrict the operator’s operational freedom;
— allow and encourage innovation;
— provide a direction for future developments for existing and new trampoline parks.
The committee recognized that they had a duty of care to protect trampoline park users from hazards
that may not be obvious to the user. With these factors in mind, the Committee agreed that the document
should aim to provide requirements to minimize the hazards known to cause injury.
This document is the result of an extensive process with a large group of experts from 3 continents
that was finalized under COVID-19 conditions. It has proven challenging to come to a document that
allows for all cultural and legal differences, since around the world similar installations are operated
differently. This document is hesitant to set requirements that limit or block nonconventional-but-safe
methods of operation. In applying this document, the legal and social conventions of the country in
which the trampoline park is operated should be followed.

Introduction
A trampoline park is a venue with multiple trampolines and/or trampoline courts used separately or in
conjunction with other apparatus or features such as high ropes, climbing walls or other adventure
equipment. Trampoline parks are geared towards a very heterogeneous target audience in terms of
equipment and operation. This target audience includes adults, young people and younger children for
whom some trampoline parks offer completely new but mostly intuitive movement experiences.
As such trampoline parks offer a wide range of social, special/additional needs, recreational and sport-
based activities, including:
— Space to have fun with a wide range of physical and play experiences;
— A gathering point fostering interactions and connections between all age groups;
— Activities which improve physical and mental health;
— Opportunity for all age groups to learn how to manage risks in challenging and engaging
environments; and
— Cater for the adventurous in their search for excitement in a managed context.
Trampoline parks can make a significant contribution towards reducing inactive behaviour, e.g. as a
distraction from electronic entertainment and mobile devices. Trampoline parks are very appealing and
allow a large number of children, adolescents and adults to have fun, be active and take on sporting
challenges. With obesity increasing world-wide, trampoline parks encourage children, adolescents and
adults to undertake intense cardio exercise. Apart from the cardio benefits, users improve many physical
skills such as general motor skills, balance, coordination, bouncing ability and endurance. Regular
trampolining strengthens bones and the skeletal-muscular structure, and the cyclical loading between
0 to 6 G-force allows the muscles to pump toxins within the lymphatic system.
Although trampoline Parks are managed environments, like other physical activities, trampoline use
involves the risk of injury. The most serious risks involved in any trampolining activity are spinal and
neck injuries. Trampolines in trampoline parks are designed, built and used in different ways compared
with backyard trampolines and gymnastic trampolines, leading to significant differences in risks. In
trampoline parks the most frequent injury mechanism is landing awkwardly, resulting in both minor and
more severe injuries such as fractures.
Fatal and serious injuries with life-lasting disabilities are reported among both children and adult and
experience has shown that adolescents and adults are more likely to perform high risk manoeuvres.
There have been reported fatalities that have resulted from trampoline park activities worldwide.
Incorrectly performed acrobatic jumps and failed landings may lead to serious neck and spine injuries.
Risk-taking is an essential feature of trampoline parks unlike passive activities like a roller coaster, the
way users interact with the equipment has a direct correlation to safety. Trampoline parks aim to offer
its users the chance to encounter acceptable risks as part of a stimulating, challenging and controlled
environment. Trampoline parks should balance the need to offer risk and the need to keep users safe
from serious harm.
A high percentage of trampoline park users are children. Children benefit from and develop knowledge
and skill by experimenting on, equipment and need to experientially learn to understand risk. This can
lead to bumps and bruises and even occasionally a broken limb. The aim of this standard is first and
foremost to prevent accidents with a disabling or fatal consequence, and secondly to lessen serious
consequences caused by the occasional mishap that inevitably will occur in children's pursuit of
expanding their level of competence, be it socially, intellectually or physically.
This document aims to eliminate where possible and reduce foreseeable risks to a tolerable level for all
users by specifying the minimum design and operational requirements for trampoline parks. The
existence of and adherence to this document will not prev
