Scope

4.1 This practice is intended to provide consistent criteria, references and operational considerations in the specifications, management and construction of institutional trampoline courts.

4.2 This practice is intended to be taken into consideration by architects, designers, engineers, construction contractors, manufacturers, appropriate inspectors, owners and operators who are involved with the design, construction, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, inspection or major modification of institutional trampoline courts.

4.3 This practice does not apply to consumer trampolines, trampolines intended for use on water, trampolines intended for use as aquatic play equipment, trampolines primarily used for professional exhibition, or single user trampolines primarily used under the direct supervision of a trainer or coach.

4.4 This standard does not apply to stand alone institutional trampoline units that consist of one or more individual stations with a total bed area less than 378201;000 in.² (2388201;709.2 cm²) and employ a mechanical harnessed system to control or direct the descent of a patron.

4.5 This standard does not apply to stand alone institutional trampoline units that consist of one or more individual stations with a total bed area less than 378201;000 in.² (2388201;709.2 cm²) and employ individual chambers divided with small mesh netting to control or direct the descent of a patron.

4.6 This standard does not apply to inflatable amusement devices covered by Practice F2374.

4.6.1 This standard applies to trampoline courts that mount or dismount onto an inflatable impact attenuation system.

4.7 Trampoline courts that employ a device designed to introduce additional energy into the suspension or bed system are outside the scope of this standard practice.

4.8 For the purpose of this standard, consideration shall be given within the design and for operation of a trampoline court with activities including but not limited to: bouncing, jumping, walking, standing, sitting, resting, acrobatic maneuvers, aerobics, flips, dancing, exercise, therapeutic rehabilitation, dodgeball, basketball, or volleyball.
