Trampolines Are Good for You

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Super-Fun Sports (2005) Ltd., in partnership with International Internet Advertising Services Inc., is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned Super-Fun Trampolines website, http://www.trampoline.com/. The new design makes shopping for a trampoline online easier and more convenient.

"We are proud to offer this new design to our clients while still offering the same great products," said Super-Fun owner Bert Brunia. "It is important for customers to enjoy their trampoline from the moment they start shopping for one. We are committed to customer satisfaction."

Brunia realizes the importance of providing high quality trampolines to consumers. Super-Fun Trampolines are built using only American made materials that are strong and dependable. "We believe trampolines should be enjoyed by the whole family -- kids, teens and adults," Brunia said. "We build our trampolines to be safe and durable no matter who is jumping.

"We have every confidence in our trampolines, which is why we provide a full lifetime warranty on the frame and a 6 year warranty on all other parts. Our 6 year warranty is longer than the lifespan of some box store trampolines."

The performance of Super-Fun's trampolines is also important. "Our time tested springs can outperform multi-stage and twin spring trampolines," Brunia asserts. "We build our trampolines to be the biggest, best jump available." Super-Fun Trampolines also supplies parts, including springs, mats and safety pads, for all makes and models of trampolines.

A recent article in the Calgary Herald explains researchers believe that eating is the new "drug of choice." Areas of the brain stimulated by food can lead to an addiction to eating. The availability of many cheap, high calorie foods makes eating easy and appealing, but these foods can be harmful to people's health. These same researchers believe that weight problems can begin very early in childhood, and must be combated.

Health experts would prefer people to eat healthy foods and spend time exercising. Brunia stresses that trampolines are a great way to exercise and have fun. Children and adults alike will enjoy the hours of fun provided by a trampoline. "Trampolines are good for you. They increase confidence, help you feel better and provide exercise."

Brunia explains that children can use trampolines to exercise their imaginations, spend time with friends and benefit from time spent outdoors while still safely in their yard. Children enjoy using trampolines, which can help prevent childhood obesity, childhood diabetes and other health problems.

Trampolining is also an official Olympic sport. Athletes train hard to perfect routines on trampolines. It builds muscle, increases coordination and flexibility, and teaches teamwork.

As with any sport, such as football or cycling, there are rules and guidelines for safe trampoline use. By following the recommended rules for trampoline use you can enjoy your trampoline and avoid injuries:

   *    Allow only one person on the trampoline at any time.
   *    Children should never use a trampoline unsupervised.
   *    Never allow a safety enclosure to replace adult supervision.
   *    Ensure your trampoline is properly assembled in a level area, well
        away from structures, trees, and wires. Keep the area around the
        trampoline clear for at least 10 feet on all sides, and at least 20
        feet above the trampoline.
   *    Make sure the ground under the trampoline is completely clear of
        children and obstructions.
   *    Only use a trampoline fitted with safety pads that completely cover
        the springs, hooks and frame. The pads should be securely attached
        to the trampoline.
   *    Never jump off a trampoline, always climb off.
   *    Keep your bouncing low and under control. Consistently land in the
        center of the trampoline.
   *    Never jump onto a trampoline from a higher place.
   *    Never use a trampoline as a springboard to other objects.
   *    Never attempt flips, stunts or tricks without proper training.
   *    Do not attempt back flips, multiple somersaults or twisting
        somersaults on your backyard trampoline.

"Some experts who consider trampolines to be safe warn that safety nets can give a false sense of security," explains Brunia. "Always supervise children, even with a safety net in use, and do not try stunts you wouldn't perform without a safety net in place."

Super-Fun Sports is a family-owned business that has been manufacturing high quality trampolines for over 25 years. They offer 4 sizes of trampolines that are great for families, including the largest round trampoline available anywhere. "We are confident that our trampolines will last longer than any other trampoline on the market," said Brunia. For more information visit http://www.trampoline.com/.
