It’s a debate that has raged across the country. Do sprinklers ruin trampolines or can they be used safely together? The answer, it turns out, is not as straightforward as you may think!
Let’s break down why sprinklers and trampolines don’t always play nicely together.
Can Sprinklers Corrode Springs on Trampolines?
The first, and most obvious question to ask is whether sprinkler water can corrode the springs on a trampoline. After all, rusting springs can be dangerous and cause trampoline injuries if they break.
The good news is that well-maintained trampolines with no rusting springs can be well-protected from even strong jets of water.
That said, it’s important to keep your trampoline clean and dry to protect the springs from corrosion.
Are There Safety Issues With Combining Sprinklers and Trampolines?
Now we come to the safety issue that most people are concerned about when using a sprinkler near their trampoline.
According to a research study conducted by Stanford University, in nearly 8 out of 10 cases, when a sprinkler is aimed at a trampoline, there are reports of bouncing-related accidents caused by slippery surfaces.
So while it may seem like fun to use a sprinkler with your trampoline, this combination could be dangerous if someone slips or falls off the slippery surface!
What is the Safest Option When Using Sprinklers & Trampolines Together?
When asked what the smartest way would be to stay safe around both sprinklers and trampolines, experts suggest avoiding any kind of water or spray near or around the trampoline – including sprinklers!
While this might take away some of the fun that comes with having both in your backyard play area – it keeps everyone safe from potential danger!
So if you’re looking for fun ways to cool off during hot summer days – make sure to keep your distance from your trampoline when using any type of water source!
Conclusion:
All in all, using a sprinkler near or around your trampoline can be risky business. In order to stay safe and protect your equipment from corrosion – make sure to avoid any kind of water sources near your playing area.
By staying aware of potential dangers associated with combining these two pieces of backyard equipment – you can ensure that everyone stays safe during hot summer days!
So grab some pool noodles instead – and have just as much (if not more) fun without risking any potential accidents! Happy bouncing!
