Trampoline Park Certification: Why Annual Testing Protects Your Investment

1. Safety You Can Prove – and Profit From

In the trampoline park business, safety equals success. It’s what builds customer trust, ensures legal protection, and keeps your investment performing for years to come.

At Akrobat, we don’t just design and build world-class trampoline parks - we make sure they stay safe and compliant through certified annual inspections that meet the strictest European safety standards.

What many park owners don’t realize is that a valid annual certification can also lower your insurance premiums.
Insurance providers often reward certified facilities with reduced liability coverage rates, since the documentation proves that your park meets all safety requirements.
That’s why we strongly recommend submitting your Akrobat inspection report to your insurer; it’s not just about safety, it’s also about financial protection.

A recent example comes from Jumpers Trampoline Park in Porto, Portugal, built by Akrobat in 2018 and tested again in 2024 under EN ISO 23659:2022.

The result:
- All safety requirements fulfilled
- Head Injury Criterion (HIC) under 1000
- All impact acceleration (gmax) results remained well under the 200 g safety limit, confirming excellent shock absorption and user protection.
That’s not just certification. That’s proof of lasting quality.

2. What Is Trampoline Park Certification – and Why It Matters

According to EN ISO 23659:2022, trampoline parks in the EU must undergo annual safety inspections. These include:

  • Technical testing – structural and mechanical integrity, and

  • Impact attenuation testing – verifying how surfaces absorb falls to prevent injuries.

In the European Union, annual trampoline park inspections are mandatory under EN ISO 23659:2022.

In the United States, they are not yet required by law — however, forward-thinking park owners are increasingly adopting them voluntarily.

Why? Because if an incident occurs, the certification report is the first document investigators and inspectors review.

A valid report from an accredited testing body instantly demonstrates:

  • That your park is safe and compliant,

  • That you take responsibility seriously, and

  • That you’re operating to European-level standards – a clear differentiator in a competitive market.

💡 Pro Tip: Forward-thinking park owners perform annual safety tests even when not required. It builds trust; and trust brings business.


3. Inside the Jumpers Porto Certification Process  

In August 2024, Akrobat’s Jumpers Trampoline Park in Porto underwent a full inspection titled:


“Determination of impact attenuation within a trampoline park – EN ISO 23659:2022.”
The testing team conducted drop tests across various park zones to measure both HIC and gmax values - critical indicators of surface safety.


The park’s surfaces demonstrated exceptional impact attenuation, confirming Akrobat’s dedication to precision engineering and material durability.
The final report (No. 193.1-HIC/24) officially verified that the installation fully meets European safety requirements - a benchmark not every manufacturer achieves.


🧠 Did you know?
Akrobat parks consistently achieve HIC values below 1000, guaranteeing maximum protection and compliance.

4. Annual Inspection = Confidence for Park Owners and Investors 

Annual certification delivers far more than compliance - it’s a smart business strategy.

1. Protect your reputation and your guests
Accidents can happen. Inspection proves that your park meets or exceeds required safety standards - reducing liability and demonstrating professionalism.


2. Build customer trust
Parents notice. When your park displays an official EN ISO certificate and regular inspection, you show transparency and care. That translates into repeat visits and stronger brand loyalty.


3. Preserve your investment
Regular inspections extend the lifespan of your equipment and keep performance consistent - meaning fewer repairs and higher returns.


4. Save costs
Lower insurance rates, all attractions always functional and ready for high season.

5. Partner with experts
With Akrobat, safety isn’t an afterthought - it’s built into every project from day one. Our certified processes, external partnerships, and long-term support make sure your park is always inspection-ready.
