Article 12-C - Trampoline Park Safety
227 - Required Posting of Safety Guidelines.
§ 227. Required posting of safety guidelines. 1. The owner and/or operator of a trampoline park shall conspicuously post a sign containing safety and instructional rules and guidelines to be followed by participants while at the trampoline park or using a commercial trampoline. Such sign shall include appropriate behavior and activities at the trampoline park to minimize potential risks to participants.
2. Such signs shall be conspicuously displayed near all entrances.
3. Such signs shall contain warnings that there are inherent risks in the participation in or on the commercial trampoline, since it is recognized that participation in or on the trampoline may be hazardous regardless of all feasible safety measures that can be undertaken by the device owner and/or operator; and that there is a duty for the participants, or parent or guardian in the case of a minor, to become apprised of the warnings and the risks inherent in participation in or on a commercial trampoline if the warnings are not obeyed.
4. Prior to participating in or on such commercial trampolines, participants and parents or guardians in the case of a minor, shall familiarize themselves with the posted safety warnings so that they may make an informed decision of whether to participate in or on the trampoline notwithstanding the risks.
