Decoding the Physics of Injuries
Trampoline park injuries most frequently arise when a user inadvertently lands on the padding that overlays the rigid trampoline frame. This type of incident typically results in rapid deceleration, which can place extreme stress on the body upon impact. Optimally, a jumper should experience a smooth deceleration, facilitated by the stretching springs when landing squarely on the trampoline mat. However, landing on the surrounding steel frame, covered by a mere two-inch foam pad, provides a starkly different, more abrupt deceleration due to the limited cushioning distance of up to 2 inches.
The Five-Foot Scenario: Calculating Impact on standard parks vs. Shock Parks
Consider a jumper reaching heights of five feet when jumping on a trampoline. Upon a fall from this height, the acceleration induced by gravity (21.94 miles per hour per second) means a descent at a speed of approximately 17.29 miles per hour. A sudden impact on the trampoline pad from this speed over just two inches of pad thickness can generate immense G-forces. In reality, where a foam pad might compress to about one quarter of an inch under strain, the rapid deceleration can expose the body to upwards of 34.27 G’s of force.
However, with the integration of Shock’s patented shock-absorbing trampoline frame, which adds four additional inches of deceleration space (+2” foam pad protection), the impact force can be notably reduced to around 10.47 G’s—a substantial decrease compared to a standard configuration of straight steel trampoline frame with only a 2-inch-thick pad (34.27 G’s).
Why Choose Shock: Beyond Standard Design
Creating exemplary products within the trampoline park industry requires more than generic innovation; it demands a profound understanding of physics, an unyielding commitment to safety, and a visionary approach to functional design. Shock Trampoline Parks rises above conventional designs by addressing the fundamental shortcomings that predispose these recreational spaces to frequent injuries and operational problems.
