October 2020 (AM) — Question 53

What is the CLASSIFICATION of recreational, land-based trampolines that are designed for domestic backyard use? They are oval shaped, 16’ x 14’ in size, and made with ultraviolet- resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. They have 96 thick gauge, rust-resistant springs to provide bounce and, to increase safety for users, include a woven mesh netting enclosure. They feature a heavy-gauge, reinforced galvanized steel frame, a patented “Stay-Put” enclosure (to eliminate gaps between the jumping mat and the enclosure net), and welded T-sockets to eliminate frame twisting. They also include a, “Triple Toss Game” with six (6) sand bags for jumpers to throw at a target. The trampolines are not recommended for use by children under six (6) years of age. The User’s Manual that is included advises jumpers to learn eight (8) fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly (illustrations included) before trying more advanced skills and to contact a certified trampoline instructor for information about skills training.
