Trampolines and Water Bouncers

High-Flying Thrills
The name trampoline is derived from the Spanish word trampolin, meaning "diving board." Although some form of it has been used by many world cultures for centuries, modern acrobats George Nissen and Larry Griswold are credited with creating the modern apparatus. Recreationally, and in the sport of gymnastics, a trampoline is a circle of non-elastic nylon fabric, stretched and attached to a round, square, or rectangular frame by spring coils. The springs stretch, allowing the elevated fabric to be used as an enormous bouncing platform. The thrill of high-flying fun has always been at the heart of the trampoline, and today it's adapting to a growing variety of recreational uses.

Water Trampolines
Exactly as the name suggests, these are floating trampolines. The frame and springs are supported by an inflatable tube that allows for more fun and less danger than a traditional diving board. Inflatable water trampolines are manufactured in many sizes to suit all bodies of water, from a swimming pool to an ocean. Many models can be fitted with accessories such as ladders or inflatable slides. The additions of inflatable rafts and loungers can turn your water trampoline into a complete inflatable water playground.

Water Bouncers
These are water trampolines in which the nylon mesh is interwoven with the inflatable platform, alleviating the spring coils and frame. Usually smaller, less expensive, and providing less bounce, what bounce platforms lack in performance, they make up in ease and portability, requiring no assembly. With just a 12-volt battery or a 120-volt air pump, inflatable bounce platforms can be inflated within 10 minutes, and can easily be carried anyplace by boat or R.V.
