Trampolining offers exhilarating experiences and undeniable health benefits, yet it carries a weight of inherent risks ranging from minor injuries to severe consequences such as paralysis or even death. Recognizing these dangers, Trampoline Nation requires participants to sign a comprehensive Trampoline Waiver Form before engaging in any activity within their facilities. This form, essentially a contract between the participant and Trampoline Nation, encompasses several key elements: the acknowledgment of risks involved, a release of liability and waiver of claims against Trampoline Nation and its affiliates, an assumption of risk, a covenant not to sue, and an agreement to hold harmless the entity, covering all possible injuries or damages incurred during participation. Furthermore, the form mandates adherence to safety rules and guidelines, confirms the participant’s health condition as fit for trampoline activities, and includes a media release clause alongside other provisions that outline the legal framework governing the agreement. Crucial for both the participant's understanding and Trampoline Nation's legal protection, this document underlines the importance of reading and comprehensively understanding the terms before consenting to participate, ensuring an informed and voluntary assumption of all associated risks.

I understand that there is a significant risk of serious physical injury, death and other damages inherent in trampoline use, gymnastics, and physical fitness training activities and in my use of TN facilities and instruction relating to these activities.

Common Questions

What is a Trampoline Waiver Form?

A Trampoline Waiver Form is a legal document that participants are required to sign before using trampoline facilities. This form releases Trampoline Nation and affiliated entities from liability for any injuries or losses that occur while participants are using the facilities. It means that by signing this form, you give up your right to sue for any injuries, including serious ones, you might suffer during activities at the trampoline park.

Who needs to sign the Trampoline Waiver Form?

Anyone wishing to participate in activities at Trampoline Nation's facilities must sign the waiver form. This includes both adults and minors. In the case of minors, a parent or legal guardian must sign the form on their behalf.

What types of activities does the waiver cover?

The waiver covers all activities available at Trampoline Nation facilities, which include but are not limited to trampoline use, gymnastics, and physical fitness training activities. It is important to be aware of the risks involved in these activities, including the potential for serious injuries like paralysis or death.

Can I participate without signing the waiver?

No, Trampoline Nation requires all participants to have a signed waiver on file before they can take part in any activities. This is a standard procedure to ensure that participants are aware of and accept the risks associated with trampoline activities.

What does it mean to "assume all risks"?

By signing the document, you acknowledge that trampoline activities come with inherent risks and voluntarily agree to assume those risks. This means that you are aware that potential physical injury, including death, could occur and accept that risk.

What am I agreeing to with the Covenant Not to Sue clause?

The Covenant Not to Sue is a legal promise that you will not file a lawsuit against Trampoline Nation or any associated entities for any injuries or losses that result from participating in activities at the facilities.

Do I still retain any rights after signing the waiver?

While the waiver significantly limits your ability to recover damages for injuries suffered at Trampoline Nation, it does not strip you of all rights. For example, if injuries were caused by gross negligence or malicious acts, there may be legal grounds for action. Nevertheless, these cases are very specific, and legal advice is recommended for such situations.

Can I review the waiver before I visit the facilities?

Yes, it is advisable to request and review the waiver form before your visit. This allows you to carefully read and understand the terms you are agreeing to. Trampoline Nation or similar facilities usually provide these forms on their website or by request.

Is there an age requirement for signing the waiver?

Adults 18 years and older can sign the waiver for themselves. Minors under 18 must have the waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. This guardian also agrees to the same terms and conditions on behalf of the minor participating in the activities.

Common mistakes

When filling out the Trampoline Waiver form, people often rush through the process without giving it the careful attention it deserves. Unfortunately, this can lead to mistakes that may affect their ability to use the facilities or assert rights in the future. Here are eight common mistakes to watch for:

  1. Not reading the waiver thoroughly. Skimming over the terms can lead to a lack of understanding of what rights are being waived.
  2. Omitting necessary personal information. Each field, especially those concerning contact details and emergency contacts, is crucial.
  3. Incorrectly filling out participant details. Ensure that the participant's name, birthdate, and other personal information are accurate.
  4. Failing to indicate a choice where required. For instance, neglecting to answer "YES" or "NO" to the question about receiving emails.
  5. Missing initials next to key sections. Each clause requires an initial to confirm understanding and agreement.
  6. Forgetting to complete the section regarding minors. If the participant is under 18, a parent or guardian must also sign.
  7. Overlooking the Patron Code of Conduct. This part outlines important behavior expectations and safety measures.
  8. Not using the participant's legal name. This can create confusion and potential issues with the waiver's enforceability.

By avoiding these mistakes, participants can ensure their trampoline experience is both fun and properly documented.

Documents used along the form

When participating in trampoline activities or any similar recreational activities, it's crucial to have the right paperwork in place, not just for legal compliance but for the safety and awareness of participants. Alongside a Trampoline Waiver form, several other forms and documents play vital roles in creating a safe and regulated environment. Below is a list of other commonly used forms and documents that often accompany a Trampoline Waiver form.

  • Emergency Contact Form: This document collects contact information for immediate use in case of an emergency. It typically includes names, phone numbers, and relationships to the participant.
  • Medical History Form: A form that outlines a participant’s medical history, allergies, and any conditions that the facility staff needs to be aware of to ensure the participant's safety.
  • Rules and Regulations Acknowledgment: This form requires participants and guardians to acknowledge that they have read and understand the facility’s rules and the consequences of not adhering to them.
  • Photo Release Form: A document granting the facility permission to use photographs or video recordings of participants for promotional materials, websites, or social media.
  • Equipment Rental Agreement: If applicable, this contract outlines the terms and conditions of renting equipment from the facility, including liability for damages or loss of the equipment.
  • Participant Injury Report: Used to document any injuries that occur at the facility, detailing the extent of the injury, how it occurred, and the immediate action taken by the facility staff.
  • Parental/Guardian Consent Form: For participants under a certain age, this form provides consent from a parent or guardian for the child to participate, acknowledging the risks and waiving certain rights to legal recourse.

Each document serves an essential purpose, from ensuring participants' health and safety to protecting the facility's legal interests. When used alongside a Trampoline Waiver form, they create a comprehensive framework that supports a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.

Similar forms

The Trampoline Waiver form closely mirrors the structure and purpose of a Gym Membership Waiver. Both documents serve as legal agreements meant to protect the facility owners by ensuring that participants are aware of the inherent risks involved in activities such as fitness training or trampoline jumping. These waivers typically require participants to acknowledge these risks and agree not to hold the facility liable for injuries sustained, thereby limiting legal claims against the business. This mutual understanding helps in managing the legal and financial risks related to injuries at such facilities.

Similarly, an Adventure Sports Waiver shares many attributes with the Trampoline Waiver form. Engaging in activities like rock climbing, white-water rafting, or zip-lining often involves signing such a waiver. Participants must acknowledge the physical risks and agree to not sue the service providers for injuries or death caused by the activity. Both waivers ensure that patrons are informed about the potential dangers and agree to participate at their own risk, which is crucial for businesses operating in environments where there's a high chance of physical injury.

An Equipment Rental Agreement also bears resemblance to the Trampoline Waiver form but with a focus on the use of equipment. When renting equipment, such as bicycles, ski gear, or kayaks, customers often sign an agreement acknowledging the risks associated with using the equipment and waiving the right to hold the rental company responsible for injuries. Like the Trampoline Waiver, this document serves to protect the business from liability claims and ensures that customers use the equipment knowing the associated risks.

Lastly, the Trampoline Waiver form is comparable to an Event Liability Waiver, which is common for participants in events like marathons, obstacle courses, or community sports leagues. Event organizers require attendees to sign these waivers to make them aware of potential risks and to exempt the organizers from liability in the event of injury. Both types of waivers are essential for ensuring that participants voluntarily accept all risks associated with the activity, allowing for a clearer understanding between the parties involved.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out a Trampoline Waiver form, it is essential to pay close attention to the details and understand the implications of what you're agreeing to. Below are key points to consider, categorized into things you should and shouldn't do, to ensure your approach is thorough and informed.

Things You Should Do:

  • Provide accurate information: Ensure all personal information, including your full name, contact details, and emergency contact information, is accurate and current.
  • Consider the implications: Understand that by signing the waiver, you're agreeing not to hold the trampoline park liable for any injuries or damages you might incur.
  • Check for minor details: If signing on behalf of a minor, double-check their details and your authority to sign for them.
  • Initial each clause: Make sure to initial beside each clause to indicate that you have read and understood it fully.
  • Ask questions: If there's anything you don't understand in the waiver, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.
  • Keep a copy: After signing, ask for a copy of the waiver for your records.

  • Don't sign if unsure: If you're not comfortable with any part of the waiver, consider seeking advice or clarification before signing.
  • Don't forget to initial each requirement: Failing to initial where necessary might make the waiver incomplete.
  • Don't lose your copy: Keeping a copy of the waiver is important for future reference, should any issues arise.

Understanding and following these dos and don'ts can help ensure that your experience is both safe and legally informed.

Misconceptions

Understanding the Trampoline Waiver form requires careful attention to its specific legal language and implications. Misinterpretations are common, and it's crucial to debunk these misconceptions to ensure participants are well-informed. Below are ten widespread myths about the Trampoline Waiver form, along with clarifications to each.

  • Misconception 1: Signing the waiver completely absolves the facility of all responsibility.

    • This is incorrect. While the waiver does release Trampoline Nation from liability for ordinary negligence and inherent risks associated with trampoline activities, it does not absolve them of liability arising from gross negligence or intentional acts that may cause harm or injury.

  • Misconception 2: Participants retain the right to sue for any injury.

    • Upon signing the waiver, participants give up their right to sue Trampoline Nation and the Released Parties for injuries suffered due to ordinary negligence. However, this does not extend to gross negligence or willful misconduct.

  • Misconception 3: The waiver only covers injuries.

    • The waiver also includes the assumption of risk for property damage and other losses, not just personal injuries. It's a comprehensive release that covers a variety of possible incidents.

  • Misconception 4: Minors can sign the waiver on their own behalf.

    • A parent or legal guardian must also sign the waiver for minors, acknowledging the risks and releasing liability on behalf of the minor participant.

  • Misconception 5: The waiver is only in effect for a single visit.

    • Depending on the jurisdiction and the specific terms of the waiver, it may cover all future visits once signed, not just a single occasion.

  • Misconception 6: Signing the waiver means you cannot bring any type of legal action against the facility.

    • Participants can still bring legal actions for issues not related to personal injury or those injuries caused by gross negligence or intentional acts by the facility or its employees.

  • Misconception 7: The facility is not responsible for providing safe equipment or instructions.

    • Despite the waiver, facilities still have a duty to maintain their equipment and provide proper instructions to minimize the risks of injuries due to negligence.

  • Misconception 8: The waiver does not need to be read in detail.

    • It is crucial to thoroughly read and understand the waiver before signing. Understanding what rights you are waiving and assuming which risks is essential.

  • Misconception 9: Injury claims barred by the waiver are always straightforward.

    • Legal proceedings involving these waivers can become complex, especially when distinguishing between ordinary and gross negligence. Each case can vary greatly based on specific circumstances.

  • Misconception 10: The waiver covers incidents outside the trampoline areas, such as common areas or parking lots.

    • Waivers primarily cover activities directly related to the use of trampoline facilities. Incidents occurring in non-activity areas like parking lots may not be covered under the waiver and could still be subject to liability claims.

It's imperative for participants and their guardians to fully understand these waivers, recognizing both their rights and limitations. Clearing up these misconceptions is the first step toward informed participation in trampoline activities.
