EQUIPMENT SAFETY CHECKLIST
To keep yourself and your participants as safe as possible - it is essential that you complete this
equipment safety checklist on each rebounder - and your environment before each class.
Recommended distance between each rebounder is 1.5 meters. Do not drag the rebounders
along the floor as this could wear and damage the legs and rubber shoes. Failure to do this
checklist could result in serious or fatal injury. The recommended max weight limit for use is
120kg’s for very light health bouncing, 100kg’s for normal rebounding, and 85kg’s for very
vigorous rebounding (this weight must include any extra weights used while rebounding).
