Safety

Like any other sport, and even backyard trampolining, trampoline jumping carries a level of risk – it is your decision as to whether the benefits of jumping outweigh the risks. We have a comprehensive safety system to minimise the risks of an accident, developed around international industry best-practice. Safety is our number 1 priority, to ensure everyone has a fun time.

The following features have been put in place to ensure your safety:

  • Before jumping, everyone must agree to the Conditions of Entry – this confirms you have read, understand, and accept our safety rules, and accept the risk involved with jumping in our trampoline park.  Understanding the rules is beneficial to not only yourself but also to others around you.
  • Our rules and safety guidelines have been developed in conjunction with the equipment manufacturer, recognised safety experts, and the Australian Trampoline Parks Association, in line with the world’s best practices.
  • To minimise the chance of dangerous situations, especially for inexperienced jumpers, we conduct a safety briefing at the beginning of each jump session and have also clearly posted station rules at the entrance to each station.  These rules are for the safety of all and are enforced by our floor staff.
  • We reserve the right to ask jumpers to leave the floor if rules and/or safety instructions issued by staff, are ignored.  This is a necessity to protect both yourself and others from any unnecessary risk.

What you need to do to stay safe

  • REMOVE any large or loose jewellery to protect yourself, other jumpers & the trampoline equipment.
  • EMPTY your pockets – you don’t want to lose anything!
  • NO food, drink or chewing gum whilst jumping.
  • NEVER jump if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol!
  • NEVER jump if you are pregnant, have health limitations or pre-existing injuries – see your Doctor if you are unsure.

Some of the things we do to keep you safe

Gravity Etc trampoline floor is monitored by trained trampoline staff as per the guest to staff ratio requirements of the Australian Trampoline Parks Association Code of Practice, to which we adhere – for your safety.  Our team of supervisors have been trained in CPR and First Aid and are there to ensure all of the court rules are followed in a courteous manner, for the benefit of all our guests.   Along with all other rules, the most important rule of ‘one person per trampoline’ will be enforced at every opportunity, to avoid collisions and risk of double bouncing.   Children under 110cm tall (which is generally those aged 5 years and under) have access areas to all areas except The Edge – Performance Trampolines.  

In addition to ATPA policies and procedures, and our own policies for Safety and Guest Experience, our Centre also follows the “Choose Respect” Code of Conduct – please – always approach our staff or a Manager should you feel there is any Choose Respect breach.  

Everything that happens within in the trampoline deck area is captured on our Closed Circuit TV system.  We also use this system to keep an eye on what is happening across the entire centre, in addition to the supervisors on the trampoline deck.

The entire Gravity Extreme Trampoline Centre has been engineered and designed for safety.  Using the very latest in trampoline technology from our supplier in the United States, we have invested heavily in the best equipment available, to make sure that your experience is both awesome fun, and as safe as possible.

Some of the safety features include

  • Every trampoline in the arena has no gaps to fall through, nor are there any exposed springs. All steel and springs are covered by high performance padding.
  • Trampolines are protected with a redundant safety net where required, which protects the jumper in the unlikely event of a catastrophic trampoline mat failure.
  • Each of our activity zones is surrounded by soft but strong, netting and/or trampoline walls. These walls are SO strong jumpers can bounce off them and back onto the trampoline floor.  This design helps avoid the age old problem of “falling off the trampoline” many of us have experienced on home trampolines.
  • Our staff perform hourly, daily, and monthly inspections of all trampoline parts, within the centre to make sure that everything is always in proper working order.
