Bungee trampoline
A bungee trampoline (also known as a bungy trampoline or just trampoline) is an attraction at many fairs, vacation resorts and several summer camps. Some cruise ships have bungee trampolines on board. Even mountain resorts (including ski resorts that use other attractions in the "summer season") started using them as attractions.[1][2] There are different models that range in ease of use and also in ease of setup. Some are on trailers and have single trampoline mats, some are doubles, and then there are the four, five, and six versions. There are many different designs of bungee trampolines, but most operate in the same fashion. The participant puts on a bungee trampoline harness according to their waist size, and they are then hooked to a number of bungee ropes according to their weight. Those ropes are attached to poles or bars reaching an average of fifteen feet above the trampoline platform. As the participant jumps higher and higher the bungee ropes are moved up the poles allowing the participant to reach heights and do flips and other maneuvers that would otherwise be impossible on a regular trampoline[3] for untrained people. There are hydraulic models along with winch models depending on the age and manufacturer of the unit.
A bungee trampoline[4] is a mechanical amusement attraction that contains a support structure of 3 to 8 m in height or 10 to 26 feet, a pulley system to anchor and retract bungee cords, a trampoline the jumper will bounce on, a harness to attach the jumper to the cords and structure, and a winch—either electric or manual—to put tension on the bungee cords by pulling on them through the pulleys.
Recently, bungee trampolines have also been combined with spider towers, zip-lines, rock climbing walls, and other amusement equipment to offer more entertainment options. This includes EuroBungy, in which the trampoline is not needed. Despite that, however, they are still often added for extra height.
