[Commentary] Recently, a female graduate student in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, fell into "complete paraplegia" while playing on a trampoline, causing social concern. On June 4, the reporter visited a chain trampoline park in Beijing. According to the manager of the store, there are more than 30 kinds of items in the store, which can be roughly divided into three types: experience, sports, and challenge. Among them, there are many web celebrities such as spider tower, bubble football, and sticky music. The project experienced by the injured female graduate student was not introduced into the store because of potential safety hazards.

In fact, this matter is still spreading faster in our industry, because we also pay more attention to such a thing. The accidental project was developed at the end of last year (2019). Some of this project are called "human bombs" and some are called "bomb and fly". In fact, we set this project as a type of equipment that is more difficult to control by itself and difficult to control with other protective equipment. Then, in the process of playing equipment, once there is a posture or a state of uncontrolled body, there are some risks.
[Explanation] Hou Hongbo said that the trampoline hall is different from the conventional playground, and the project is mainly sports. While pursuing novelty of equipment, we must pass rigorous and scientific tests to ensure the safety of the equipment. When customers enter the game, they should be led to carry out the necessary safety understanding, warm-up activities and training guidance. Experienced challenges should be accompanied by professional coaches.

In the course of business, in fact, we still have to take safety as the first priority. We will show every customer the document of our safety specification notification, and the safety text safety notice board in every angle in the field. After passing all the information about the play method to the client, we will operate and play under the guidance of our coach. In the equipment itself, we also have to pass the management method, which requires daily management and operation specifications to carry out some inspections on the equipment.
[Explanation] Experts said that the trampoline hall has both common sports such as trampolines and high-risk extreme sports such as challenges. This type of playground is a new type of amusement mode that has only appeared in recent years. At present, there is no clear industry standard to regulate its safety.

Trampoline is a professional sport that requires professional knowledge and skills. The lower limbs and muscles are not trained and are likely to cause irregular movements and damage. But more people now use it for playing. (Trampoline Hall) Some of his equipment is in the design. From a safety perspective, I think it is unreasonable. Strictly speaking, the current supervision in this area is still a blind spot. It is not yet known what kind of safety standards such projects meet.
【Explanation】Chen Guodong believes that playgrounds such as trampoline halls, which combine sports and recreational functions, are emerging industries with great development potential. In order to promote the healthy development of the industry, industry standards should be clarified as soon as possible. From the equipment specifications of the trampoline hall, daily inspections, and qualification training of employees, efforts are made to avoid accidents as much as possible.

In fact, the development of the industry is good. During the development process, there will be some phenomena that we do not want to see. During the development process, we must (think) how to supervise and manage. The first is to have standards, and increase punishment for some government departments that do not meet the requirements, or that some venues violate regulations. The training of personnel before the opening of business means that it is more professional to do all the equipment or personnel. As amusement riders, we must know where there are dangers, and we must protect ourselves.
