Abstract: A trampoline includes added safety by virtue of extending the jumping mat to stretch out over the springs coupling the mat to the supporting frame. Fasteners such as V-rings may be attached to an underside of the mat's perimeter which is extended out to the supporting frame. The mat be coupled to the frame by connecting the springs between the frame and the fasteners. With the fasteners being on the underside of the mat, the springs remain covered while the mat is secured to the frame. Users may thus be prevented from accidently having one of their appendages fall in between adjacent springs between bounces which prevents certain injuries.

Abstract: A trampoline has a safety net enclosure where the net assembly can be attached to the trampoline frame without the need for separate fasteners, such as bolts and nuts. The trampoline and safety net system uses an inwardly curved net and outwardly curved net poles that support the net. Sleeves are formed about an outer periphery of a top portion of the net. The sleeves are configured to slide over the top ends of the net poles. A strap extending from the sleeve can be wrapped around the net pole to prevent the sleeves from sliding off the top of the net poles. The net poles can be fixed onto brackets previously attached to the legs. The net poles can attach via, for example, a push pin system, where a pin in the net pole fits into an opening in the bracket to secure the net pole to the bracket.
