SECTION 2 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 Risk assessment A risk assessment of the design shall be conducted taking into consideration the requirements of this Standard. Where risks are identified the design shall be modified and control measures implemented to minimize risks to a tolerable level.
2.1.2 Structural requirements The trampoline frame shall be designed to accommodate the most adverse combination of loading that will be applied according to the Australian Standards for structural components. in particular the following: (a) For welding of steel structures, AS/NZS 1554 (series). (b) For chains. AS 2321. (c) For shackles, AS 2741. (d) For wire rope, AS 3569. (e) For structural steel, AS 4100. NOTE: This Standard does not exclude components conforming to international or other national standards provided it can be demonstrated that they achieve performance that is equivalent to or better than the corresponding Australian Standard.
2.1.3 Toxic materials Toxic materials shall not be used in TPF. All materials shall conform to the minimum requirements of AS/NZS 8124.3.
2.1.4 Access ways and platforms Access shall be provided for places normalLy used by operating, inspection, maintenance and servicing personnel for device set-up. inspection and maintenance. Where access ways and platforms arc required for these non-climbing activities, they shall conform to AS 1657.
2.2 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF A TRAMPOLINE BED, SUSPENSION SYSTEM ANI) TRAMPOLINE FRAN1 F
The maximum patron weight shall be 140 kg. NOTE: For design purposes account should be taken of the combined dynamic loading of multiple users. Designers arc encouraged to exceed the 1000 kg and 1500 kg design load (see Paragraph L3.2). As a general rule, TPF trampolines are single user only. Exceptions to allow multiple users include coach/instructor assistance and volley ball. The structural integrity of a trampoline bed, suspension system and trampoline frame shall be verified by a competent person(s). Structural integrity shall be determined by calculation or proof loading (see Appendix B), or a combination of both of these two methods.
2.3 NETS 2.3.1 Patron containment nets Patron containment nets shall be positioned within a TPF such that they shall control: (a) Patron entry to and exit from trampoline Courts. (b) Access under and around a trampoline.(c) Balls and other obstacles from travelling from a trampoline court to another area within the TPF. (d) Patrons from falling outside the boundaries of a trampoline courts. Patron containment nets shall extend to a minimum height of 4100 mm vertically from a horizontal bed or 1500 mm from the uppermost edge of an angled bed.
2.3.2 Dismount pit nets Dismount pit nets shall not contact the base foam or base bag.
2.3.3 Redundant bed system Redundant nets or similar device shall be installed under all beds in a TPF that prevents a patron from impacting the floor beneath in the event of trampoline bed failure.
2.4 MINIMUM TRAMPOLINE BED hEIGhT The minimum trampoline bed height shall be 900 mm. NOTE: This requirement includes junior areas as adults may use these trampolines. High performance trampoline bed height shall exceed 900 mm and be determined by a competent person.
2.5 SURFACE FINIShES Any surface that a patron contacts on or around the TPF or that a patron can reach from a position on the TPF shall be free from any sharp edged parts, any hazardous projections or any potential for internal structures to become hazardous projections.
2.6 ENTRAPMENT, CRUShING AND PROTUSION hAZARDS TPF shall not present an entrapment hazard where a body, or part of a body, or clothing can become trapped. TPF shall be tested for entrapment and protrusion conformance in accordance with Appendix A. Devices shall be constructed so that forced movement does not create any of the following: (a) Foot or leg entrapment on surfaces intended for walking/running/jumping.AS 5159.1 pdf free download.
