Keep safety and hygiene the number one priority

Even before Covid-19 Foam Pit hygiene and health effects has been a heavily discussed topic in trampoline parks. As every operator knows, foam pits are dusty, dirty, full of sweat and hair, difficult to clean and expensive to maintain and it became very clear very early on, that opening attractions that involve a foam pit during a global pandemic is out of the question. Foam pits are a place where bacteria and viruses can easily be transferred, and they cannot be sufficiently cleaned. This is why many park operators try to find easy and cheap solutions.

So why not just throw a cover over the foam cubes so you have a surface you can clean similar to an airbag? After getting some requests to produce this ourselves and turning them down for safety concerns we have learned that multiple manufacturers started providing a PVC cover for foam pits, that would seemingly improve the hygiene issue, by temporarily covering the foam pit with a Topsheet and Sideskirts, until the operation of foam pits is allowed again or at least tolerated. Anyhow, there are some serious safety concerns involved in doing this and you have to ask yourself: Is a quick and cheap solution to be more hygienic worth the risk of a severe injury in my park?

 

 

RISK of a Foam Pit Cover

 

… on use of cover on foam pits as an landing surface for trampoline parks

Dangerous holes in landing areas can build under the cover, but might get noticed too late as the cover is stretched above them. Same as with a regular foam pits the foam in landing areas gets pushed to the sides, thinning the layer of foam in the landing zone causing severe injury risk.

Covering your foam pit does not provide the same safety as an airbag or a foam pit. There are very high injury risks especially in use with trampolines or jump towers

In order to keep it functional you need to ensure cubes are fluffed (not compacted) and also have an even coverage in landing areas. This would mean removing the cover multiple times and fluffing the whole pit.

 

 

As a result of the above points, parks who have installed foam pit covers have removed them again within a couple of days after installing them, fearing that they will have more injuries due to its hard surface and considering that it is just too much effort trying to get underneath the cover to somehow maintain the foam pit and fluff it again.
