smb - Jumping devices - Practical Handbook

02 Introduction naming a specific number of small jumping devices with a clear arrangement that would lead to a jump direction, or the definition of inclination angles of a slope. As a responsible company with years of experien- ce in innovative jumping device construction, we have therefore decided to design the free spaces for our jumping devices in such a way that they can be accepted as conforming to standards in any situation. With the installation situations and definitions de- scribed in this manual, we would like to support you during project development and contribute to a clear basis for discussion with safety experts - true to our motto: safely have fun, for sure!
