Springfree Trampoline Versus Traditional Trampoline
Rods vs Springs
Springfree™ Trampoline uses flexible fiberglass rods to give a soft non-jarring bounce. The rods lie beneath the jumping surface out of harms way. Traditional trampolines have springs that give a more jolting bounce, and despite safety pads, can still injure.
Hidden Frame vs Exposed Frame
Springfree™ Trampoline’s frame is well beneath the jumping surface. You can’t hit it, period. On traditional trampolines the frame is a hazard to jumpers, being the same height as the mat. With Springfree™ Trampoline, you can jump freely and safely. While jumping on traditional trampoline both the springs and frame at the mat surface pose an impact risk.
Soft Edge vs Hard Frame
Springfree™ Trampoline has a SoftEdge™, which is over 30 times more shock absorbent than pads. The hard frame and springs on traditional trampolines can only be hidden and slightly softened by pads. Pads not only wear and tear but lose much of their shock absorbing property after only a few impacts.
FlexiNet™ vs Enclosure Rigid Poles
The Springfree™ Trampoline FlexiNet™ enclosure has flexible supports to cushion jumpers and prevent falls. The jumper is directed back to the center of the mat and cannot make contact with the enclosure rods. Traditional enclosures may stop jumpers falling off, but in doing so, either direct them into rigid steel poles or straight down onto the springs and frame.
