JUMPING PILLOW SAFETY
The Jumping Pillow has a great track record
especially in the area of safety. Careful consideration was given
to the re-design of the product before it was released onto the
Australian market. It was not acceptable to have high insurance
costs so it was in conjunction with the Insurance companies that
additional safety features were designed.
With so many people of all shapes and sizes
jumping all at the same time you would be forgiven if you thought
that there would be a lot of accidents however there are very
good reasons why this does not happen:
- The Jumping Pillow is low-level
- There are no hard surfaces to land on
- A roll-off area of soft sand is maintained around the
entire periphery of the pillow
- A 1" thick soft rubber cushion is installed underneath
the Jumping Pillow at the point where the pillow meets ground
level
- The unique design of the Jumping Pillow is such that the
jumping of one person has minimal effect on the bounce of another
- totally different dynamics to that of a Trampoline or Jumping
Castle.
- Timers turn the Jumping Pillow off at dusk - when the
Jumping Pillow is off it deflates to ground level and cannot
be used
- Signage indicates other safety policy for users of the
Jumping Pillow.

Generally, incidents that do occur on the Jumping
Pillow from time to time relate to non observance of the rules
and safety policies; we have experienced the occasional rolled
ankle or a bumping of two participants. Rolled ankles are normally
the result of landing on someone else's foot (jumping too close
together). Some times people just do silly things and it is incumbent
upon the owner/manager of the facility to enforce safety guidelines
so that even minor occurrences can be avoided.
The Jumping Pillow is tough
and damage is rare. The Jumping Pillow is not affected in extreme
tempertures both hot and well below freezing.
