  • I have a spring free trampoline :D

  • my trampoline lost it's padding ages ago, and it never had a net because nets are for pussies.

  • Comment removed

  • My trampoline flew away in a storm): just baught it with my own money a month ago... I want one if these buy here to expensive

  • pfff 85% yeah right what about neck injuries? they'll still happen...

  • Yeahh but they cost like 2,000 dollers for a frickking 12 ft trampolinee!!

  • What kind of trampoline is that (the name ) and i am trying to convince my paretns to get one any ideas?

  • @StylishPenguin99 It's a Springfree Trampoline! :) Check out Springfree (dot) com to see all of the models and prices - the one in the video is our R79 Medium Round. - Kat from Springfree

  • ok, springfree is a good idea, but the rods are placed on an angle so when the bed is being bounced on, it rotates slightly, which cannot be good for your knees, might as well buy yourself a trampoline with a good blunce, but just reinforce the padding around the frame and strengthen the net, although i don't know why trampoline companies don't do that in the first place

  • @hitmanzkilz Hello, Kat from Springfree here! At first glance it looks as if the Springfree™ Trampoline rods would twist during a bounce. In fact, Springfree™ Trampoline's patented fibreglass rods are designed to work in unison, to bend inwards as a jumper bounces, with about 0.3 of a degree of twist. This movement is not only undectable in use, but provides no affect to jumpers. If you look on our channel there's a video called "Springfree Trampoline Review: The Mat" to demonstrate! :)

  • Kwl

  • @megatrain16 Tks ;) - Kat

  • I recently purchased a Springfree tramp. The model is a 092, and I am having the most difficult time assembling it. The part I'm having the most trouble with is putting the fibreglass rods into the sockets on the matt. Any tips or tricks? Oh and just to say I love your tramps.

  • @VivaLaEpicness Kat from Springfree here! Tip #1: I would first double check that the frame is properly in place and not the cause of your problem. If after the installation of your O92 trampoline, the mat appears to have a dip or wave at the curved end sections, the frame sections may be incorrectly installed. Standing at either curved end of your Springfree™ Trampoline, the right hand curved frame section will have 10 mat rod sockets and the left hand frame section will have 11. (cont.)

  • @VivaLaEpicness When inserting the rods, grab the rod underhand and use the weight of your body, not just your arm strength, to push the rod in. Lift the mat with the other hand as you push the rod under the cleat position and then lower it onto the ball at the top of the rod. (cont.)

  • @VivaLaEpicness You might find that some of the corner mat rods require more applied force. If you find that the distance between the rods and the mat is too great, have a second person push on the already attached rods on the opposite corner of the trampoline. It is also helpful if they brace the frame on the opposite side to keep it from sliding. Lots of tips and I hope they're helpful! If not please give us a call at 1877 JUMPSAFE and we will be happy to guide you through the process :) - Kat

  • @springfreetrampoline Thank you so much! This really helped me out!

  • @VivaLaEpicness No problem! Enjoy your new Springfree :) - Kat

  • I tried was of these spring free trampolines and it didn't let me go as high as on my normal one at home. As well as this i don't have a net and i have hit my head against the springs and metal bar around the outside a few times and have never had an injury. This video exaggerates the facts way to much.

  • @IR0SS13 Hello, Kat from Springfree here :) Glad you haven't experienced an injury on a traditional trampoline! The injury statistics referenced are from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. According to the current standard for trampolines, there is a 99% chance of mild injury (skull trauma, nose/teeth fracture, superficial face injuries). On a Springfree there is less than 1 per cent chance (or over 99 per cent likelihood of no injury). Hope this clarifies things! Cheers, Kat

  • i know i have hit a metal pole before with my arm. the pole was padded and it didn't hurt! i have also hit it with my back before while coming out of a bad front 360. it is just an abrupt stop. think of it this way... either have a net that stops or a net that will flex and let you hit the GROUND!

  • @lilsassistant Kat again! The term "FlexiNet" sounds like it might let you hit the ground but that isn't the case. In fact, we just produced a video addressing this concern: head to springfreetrampolinereview (dot) com and click on the net video. The flex in the net absorbs your energy rather than impacting your body, reducing the risk of moderate to serious injury. I'd be happy to answer any more questions or concerns, just leave me a comment here :)

  • @springfreetrampoline and also is it true that you can actually get your fingers broken or cut off if their fingers are on the poles, i recomend a net over those bars or "whatever you call them" and possibly reduce the number of bars cause i have heard some friends say that it is harder to jump on and get more AIR think about it "not trying to bitch" but people buy trampolines to jump high... You dont buy a trampoline to jump low

  • Comment removed

  • @lilsassistant Hi there, we've done extensive research to ensure that everyone is safe both on and around the trampoline. While it might look like the rods could hurt a finger, tests have shown that you would have to be a full grown adult, jumping with intention at the edge to make the rods overlap - and even then it would only pinch, it would not break a finger. We have a video series explaining more at springfreetrampolinereview (dot) com for more information :) - Kat from Springfree

  • basically they just show safety. oh wait they explain it! they actually need to show someone that could POSSIBLY land a trick wrong and look like a bullet heading straight for the net. that is the most serious situation that they didn't account for. but there is extra cushion on the edges which is my favorite part one more thing is you really have to jump harder to get higher

  • @lilsassistant Hello and thanks for commenting! I understand your mention regarding tricks. The reason we don't show someone doing a trick is because we don't recommend doing flips or tricks on any trampoline, including ours. Flips and tricks increase the chance of injury and we're all about being safe. Hope that clears things up a bit :) - Kat from Springfree Trampoline

  • who cares about safety, all that matters is how high you go

  • @ktm016 Luckily you get a great bounce on a Springfree AND you're safe ;) - Kat from Springfree

  • @cody1800212 ..but if you have further questions we have links to the study and more on our website. Or, I'd be happy to answer any questions myself. Just drop me a line here or through our customer service line 1(877) JUMPSAFE :) Cheers, Kat

  • @cody1800212 Hi Cody, Kat from Springfree Trampoline here!

    We've heard this rumour before after it was raised by a competitor in video that was misrepresented as an independent review.

    Independent testing was carried out by Senior Engineering students from the University of Canterbury and concluded: “…[the Springfree] Trampoline did not present any situations that would suggest definitive occurrence of a bystander’s finger being broken by closing spring rods, when misplaced…”. (cont.)

  • Where abouts do you buy these trampolines, i'm getting a new one since mine is very old.

  • @EmkayTom Hi there! Kat from Springfree Trampoline here. Where are you from? I'd be happy to help you find a store nearby. Or, you can visit our website at springfree (dot) com and click on your country to get more information! Cheers, Kat

  • Just set up our springfree trampoline! Took 2 hours, instructions were easy to follow and our child loves it!!! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a safe backyard trampoline!

  • @MsJBTV Yay! Glad to hear you're happy with your new Springfree! Remember to share pics on our Facebook page if you get a chance :) - Kat from Springfree Trampoline

  • can you get a 16ft one of those

  • @ThePierce2101 Hi Pierce, Kat from Springfree here :) Our largest model is 13 x 13. For more info on this model you can check out our website, head to the "Our Trampolines" page and click on the S133 Jumbo Square. Hope that helps! Cheers, Kat

  • it just gets rid of the bounce

  • @jayyman123 Hey Jayyman, Kat from Springfree™ here! Springfree Trampoline is actually more bouncy than round spring based trampolines. The fibreglass rods deliver a performance superior to springs and one that is a lot gentler on knees and joints.

    If you have any questions, let me know! :) Cheers, Kat - Marketing Coordinator

  • how come all of their comments never actually answer the question and everything they say at /watch?v=vEvbybqC2Ig [trampoline review chanel] comply contradicts with what they are saying

  • @jakeeln To clarify the comments made by the trampoline review channel where the review you saw is from, it is run by Jumpsport - a traditional trampoline vendor. Lately, vendors of traditional design trampolines are starting to feel some pressure. The result is that several are attempting to do the only thing they can – try and spread misinformation. We have answered these questions in detail on our website. If you have any further questions give us a call! 1-877-586-7723 :) – K

  • @jakeeln To find this information on our website, go to the 'safety features' section, click on 'independent safety research', then click the green box on the right side of the screen that reads 'critique by our competitors'. :) - K

  • Can you jump high with this compared with the traditional tramp?

  • @jakeeln A Springfree™ Trampoline offers a softer, smoother bounce, and doesn’t produce the jarring effect of traditional, spring based trampolines. The fibreglass rods deliver a performance superior to springs and one that is a lot gentler on knees and joints. Hope that helps :) - Kat

  • it is a great invention, but i got a trampoline for bounce, not for safety, my trampoline was $1400 and it WAS WORTH IT. it bounces perfect, 16 ft across, octagon, tough net, and best of all COLORFUL PADDING!!!!!!

  • They don't give a damn about people breaking their heads, they just want to make sure they don't get sued.

  • @SuperAnimalGuy Sorry for the delay in response. I'm sorry you were disappointed. We always try to improve and appreciate the time people take to give feedback. Please let us know if there's anything in particular you were disappointed with. :) Kristen

  • They are also overpriced and not worth it.

  • @MckMick We'd love you to pop down to one of our events sometime and have a try! They're pretty different, and a pretty impressive piece of equipment :)

  • the risk is part of the fun of trampolineing.

  • @vLeOv You risk taker! We definitely don't think life is about padding kids in cotton wool. Just like you where a helmet when you ride a bike, or a seatbelt in a car there are simple ways to remove significant risks that just don't need to be there. And with over 200,000 kids hospitalised worldwide each year, creating a safe space that allows all the fun without the danger of hitting springs, frame or falling off... we think it just leaves the fun :)

  • i think im goin to get the spring free trampoline!

  • @aeskin11 Congratulations! We hope you enjoy :)

  • Oh yea dude they soo look the same lol

  • i bought a 8x13 oval springfree trampoline, whats the surface area of the jumping area and how high can i expext to jump?

  • @DerkaDerka66 Hi! The surface area is 92 ft. sq. How high is a bit tougher, as it really depends on weight the voracity of the jump etc. How high are you managing to get? :)

  • I LOVE our SpringFree Trampoline!!! I can't fault it in any way and even with my 85kg frame, it still bounces me back into the middle. Amazing, don't purchase the inferior product.

    Which leads me to ask, where is the videos for the New Square Spring Free Trampolines? We're upgrading ours at Christmas :)

  • @damnu93,

    1. The Large Square SF68 Springfree™ Trampoline offers an incredibly soft bounce for users of all ages and jumper weights, the weight of the jumper is a key determining factor in the amount of rebound achieved on any Trampoline. The square design of the model SF68 maximizes the jumping area and gives you 5 “Sweet spots” to jump .

  • yeah i like these because one time me and my friend were on her trampoline and i ended up hitting my face on one of the 'padded' poles. got a bloody nose and a bruise :(

  • @Lynna435 Oooh, that doesn't sound fun at all. Our enclosure is flexible, and purposely designed so there's no risk of impact :)

  • @cody1800212 We test all of our designs to 3million cycles. Studies suggest this = a minimum field life of 13yrs. If you're buying a trampoline go take a look at trampolines in the field. Research suggests that pads and enclosures on traditional trampolines last a relatively short time. Our "safety measures" are "designed in", and our enclosures have been in the market for 7 years now and continue to be the "last man standing" in a lot of backyard trampoline installations. Doug@springfree

  • Didn't a dude make a video about this and gave it a very very very bad quality ?

  • @Crzynoob Lot's of our competitors post comments about our products. The Springfree design was voted US Product of the Year a couple of months ago, as voted by 60,000 american families. That kind of independently, qualified support seems to be of more value to consumers trying to evaluate product benefits than unidentified postings. Feel free to contact us to answer any specific technical questions. Cheers. Doug at Springfree

  • these are shit because they cause seriouse knee injurys due to the twisting of the spring free

  • @monaghans2396 While our pultruded rods sit in an angled orientation (part of the design solution that delivers our patented "soft edge" that is over 15x softer than industry standard frame pads) rotational forces do not occur around the entire mat edge, but only at points on the mat weave. Here, it is less than 3 degrees - not easy do measure. On the weave at a 45 degree angle to the mat edge there is not rotational movement. This shows there is no actual mat rotation at the mat's center.

  • @springfreetrampoline ok thank you i should have researched better sorry about that

  • @monaghans2396 No problems. We're always happy to help and answer any questions. ;)

  • What about a crushing injury to a leg or hand placed between the short, angled, fiberglass rods while somebody jumps near that area? I'm thinking about our boxer dog who would likely jump about just outside of the trampoline, or a young child anxiously waiting for a turn.

  • @Craigo87 An adult, jumping directly on the edge from 1.2m) can't create enough force to break a finger. (fingers are a lot different than carrots). No one tends to jump with full force onto the mat edge, as they get minimal lift. Out of control jumpers generally "dampen" their landing to regain control, so a "full force" edge jump is extremely unlikely. A similar question might result from children holding the frame of a traditional trampoline with hands under the padding. Doug@springfree

  • 3 minutes of platypus shit.

  • @pandappoutamus Sorry you didn't like our vid. Certainly not out to offend, we're just being honest posting video's by organisations that believe we have a safer product. Have a good day. Kristen@springfreetrampoline

  • haha okay, i was just trolling. i actually really like springfree and im thinking of getting one for christmas but they're too expensive.

    i apologise for being an ass :)

  • No problemo.

    We do do lay-bys! *They say cheekily*

  • No they dont get hight they actully get lower believe me they suck

  • Sorry you didn't enjoy Ziggyqaz1 - what model were you jumping on? Depends on your weight, and which product, as each is designed with a different bounce in mind. Kristen@springfreetrampoline

  • do springfree trampolines go higher than a normal trampoline or the same height or lower and also where is the best place to get one?

  • Hi MrHennerz123 - sorry we haven't responded! Can I help you @ all? Cheers, Kristen@springfreetrampoline

  • Comment removed

  • Cool Video. Are these your design and is this a prototype?

  • Springfree Trampoline is a unique and original design developed through the efforts of an experienced mechanical engineer based at a leading university. Far from being a prototype, Springfree Trampolines are sold globally with thousands of happy customers worldwide. Springfree is the next generation in trampoline design and product development, combining numerous proprietary and patented technologies - SoftEdge Technology, FlexiRod Jumper Support System, FlexiNet Enclosure System.

  • Springfree - CONS - twisting motion (reduces bounce and increases muscle strain) Outside watchers need to stay clear of rods as they could get pinched. Aging fiberglass rods become brittle.

    PROS - jump height not very high so a fall isn't as severe, no frame to hit, or springs to pinch.

    I would still recommend a traditional trampoline. If you're buying an old springfree trampoline I wouldn't hesitate to replace all the fiberglass rods first.

  • Dear Christopherdude222

    Due to the maximum character counts my response will be over various posts, I trust this clears up the confusion you have with Springfree Trampoline.

    Kind Regards,

    The Springfree Team

  • 1.

    There is no discernable twisting motion on the springfree trampoline mat surface in normal jumping use. However, the angular orientation of the rods suggests to the man in the street that the mat ...must rotate.... This is technically not the case. In normal jumping use, in the centre region of the mat there is less than 1mm of rotational movement.

  • 2. A full height jump, directed right onto the edge of the Springfree Trampoline mat will do exactly the same thing as if a jumper directs a full force jump onto the very edge of the mat of a spring based TDT (Traditional Design Trampoline) there will be some lateral movement of the mat surface as the jump force is directed into a small area and borne unevenly across a small number of springs or rods.

  • 3. Outside watchers need apply no more and no less care when standing adjacent to a Springfree trampoline than they would with a spring based TDT (Traditional Design Trampoline).

  • 4. Should an outside watcher hold onto the steel perimeter frame of a TDT with hands under the perimeter padding (a familiar action by younger children), a jumper landing on the edge where the watcher is holding, will apply approximately 30 x the crushing force on hands or fingers as what might potentially occur on a Springfree trampoline.

  • 5. Further, testing has shown that (unlike carrots!) the Springfree design cannot generate enough crushing force to break fingers. So, in either instance, watchers should be instructed to be vigilant.

  • 6. All materials age. Fiberglass does, so do steel springs. In the Springfree design, the proprietary rods will over time experience a slow loss of rebounding force. This is also true of steel coil springs. They will fatigue. The rods are tested to 3m cycles of normal use, or approximately 12 years of use in a normal backyard setting.

  • 7. The thermoset plastic resin used in the springfree rods does not become brittle with age. Over time, Springfrees rods will become softer, not harder, and yes, it is advised that after several years constant use, some rods may need replacing. This is a result of wear and tear.

    Like fiberglass, steel springs will fatigue over time. The difference is that a steel spring will fail catastrophically (snap) and release all the force in a short time.

  • 8. Jump height is a function of the jumpers ability to deflect the mat. Heavier jumpers will actually get more height on a Springfree trampoline, not less, as the rods deliver deflection potential equivalent to the use of 14 inch steel coil springs. Most manufacturers of TDTs use either 6 or 8 springs.

  • 9. Based on its safety benefits alone, the reduction in injury risk delivered by the Springfree design would make it the preferred device for backyard use. Everyone will have a preference, but if the fallacys noted above are taken into account, then the Springfree design isnt just safer, but can also deliver all the fun and excitement of any TDT product.

  • woop woop got mine yesterday from Costco,well worth it!!

  • The Springfree™ Trampoline design complies with all of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines on avoiding pinch point risk.

    Springfree™ always encourages supervision, however even the worlds safest trampoline cannot control if someone intentionally puts his/ her hand in the rod area on the Springfree Trampoline. Similar to companies selling traditional trampolines not able to control if someone intentionally puts his/her hand in the spring area. Happy to answer any q's.

  • so what happens when a child or even an adult stupidly puts his or her hand in the rod area while someone is bouncing? um can you say . . .911? please. . .

  • Yes it does. I hit the net near the top accidentally with full force, thought I was going overboard, and it through me back in. I was shocked that it worked, I'm 6 feet, 215 lbs.

  • dude if u can pull that then its not going to stop some1 from falling off...
