Safest Shape for a Rebounder
By Richard Miller

The rectangular shaped trampolines are considered to be the Safest of all the four shapes in trampolines including rectangle, circular, octagon and square. The one which is considered to be the least safe is the circular.

The factor that decides the level of safety is nothing but the physics involved in both designs. In the rectangle trampoline the springs are arranged in a criss-cross style thereby ensuring much controlled and even bounce. And the springs at the center stretch more thereby preventing the jumper by getting thrown off. Only demerit to rectangular one being more expensive to construct and hence to buy as the materials required are much stronger than the other ones.
These are the reasons which make rectangular trampolines suitable for the competitions.

The other shapes including octagon, square and circular can be used for recreational purposes, out of which circular one should be used most carefully being the lest safest one. Again the reason is the physics in design which makes the center of trampoline too soft as the springs point the center which can throw you off the trampoline if you fall away from the center. This would be exacerbated if more than one person is jumping on the trampoline and can cause serious accidents. The only merit of circular trampolines is that they are much cheaper as they charge less to construct and hence to buy.

Other octagonal and 12 sided trampolines are better than circular ones but obviously not as good as rectangular ones are. As in these, springs in the center counterbalance the center and bouncer is less likely to be thrown off the trampoline.

A square trampoline however resembles rectangular ones but there is not much vertical movements on mats. As there is a greater distance of center from springs so it gives the same bounce as the less safe circular ones.

There is an increased risk of collisions when more than one person is using the trampoline simultaneously which is true with every shape.

So, one should carefully follow all the safety precautions while jumping on trampolines to ensure absolute fun with perfect workouts.
