CAN THE RODS OVERLAP AND PINCH OR TRAP SOMEONE?
The Springfree design complies with all of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines on avoiding “pinch point” risk. In the same way that it is not natural for a child to insert their head or neck through the springs in a Traditional Design Trampoline so it is not natural to put your arm through the rods when someone is jumping with full force directly on top of the Springfree™ Trampoline soft edge. To cause the rods to have any contact with its neighbours would require a VERY heavy jumper who (after some practice) could jump with EXTREME force on the very edge of the mat (where there is very little rebound and no ‘joy’ in the jump – so what’s the point?). This is no more “normal use” than suggesting that a user of a TDT would jump with full force from a height onto the springs and frame of a TDT.
