Virginia Judge has ordered a NSW Product Safety Committee review into the safety of backyard trampolines.

The review will consider the nature of the Australian Trampoline standard which is currently voluntary and making safety enclosures a requirement.

An estimated 9 – 16 thousand Australian children are presented to emergency departments annually from trampoline injuries, meaning this inquiry is critical.

At Springfree™ Trampoline we’ve been working tirelessly for 5 years to make backyards safer. Traditional spring-based trampolines cause a staggering number of injuries.

Children are injured falling into the springs and frame of traditional trampolines, or falling off or into rigid enclosure poles – we have removed these elements completely from our design – effectively removing the risk of equipment induced injuries.

Imagine if a major car manufacturer sold a product to which you could directly attribute at least 9,000 injuries per year? It would be banned no questions asked. We hope this is the first step towards creating a formal mandated trampoline standard in Australia – ensuring consumers are protected from unsafe products.

Well when it comes to Trampolines there is no such mandatory standard even though they cause over 6,000 admissions to Australian hospitals each year!

Don’t get us wrong there is an Australian Safety Standard out there but it’s completely voluntary!

Springfree is very proud to boast that we are the ONLY Trampoline in Australian guaranteed to adhere to the Australian Standards!

Many trampolines sold in Australia do not comply with the Australian Standard (AS4989 – Trampolines – Safety Aspects) and safety should not be a compromise when it comes to your children…  Springfree Trampolines are the only safe option!
