SECTION 227
Required posting of safety guidelines
General Business (GBS) CHAPTER 20, ARTICLE 12-C
§ 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.
