The Original: The Jump King Trampoline

The Jump King trampoline truly is the original trampoline; the company began back in 1948 when two of the top trampoline manufacturers decided to merge their talents and go into business together. Jump King trampolines are sold worldwide and are used in backyards everywhere. Millions of the Jump King trampolines are produced and to go along with them many accessories, enclosures, and replacement parts are also manufactured.

The Jump King headquarters and distribution warehouse are located in Plano, Texas. This is a centralized shipping and inventory center for Jump King trampolines. Also located here is a fully staffed customer service call center. The trampolines are manufactured in Jump King’s three China factories, which are staffed with knowledgeable engineers.

After a serious safety recall of 1 million trampolines in January of 2005, Jump King was purchased by YJ USA, Inc. Since they have taken ownership, all Jump King trampolines have been redeveloped, and scrutinized for safety defects. In some cases the manufacturing specs have been upgraded so that now all the trampolines meet or exceed the ASTM safety requirements. Prior to purchasing Jump King, YJ USA operated a cut and sew operation for twenty-five years.

Jump King’s general manager is very knowledgeable about the trampoline industry, having sold trampolines for over twenty-three years. On the company’s website, he expresses pride in being associated with a company he says sells quality, long-lasting outdoor products. Recently, the Jump King general manager was voted vice-president of the International Trampoline Industry Association, or ITIA for short. He also serves as a voting member of the ASTM committee for trampoline and enclosure testing. Knowing this gives some assurance that Jump King trampolines are dependable and quality products you can trust.

In addition to Jump King trampolines, the company also distributes the popular Bazoongi Kids products, which includes bouncing tents and other camping equipment designed to appeal to children and their families.

Buying a trampoline can definitely enhance your family’s fun and togetherness, but you are wise to consider the range of brands out there before making your purchase. If you decide to choose a Jump King trampoline, you’ll need to choose between the 14-foot or 15-foot model. Once you place your order, you can expect to receive your trampoline within two to three weeks. The trampoline will come unassembled, and you will have to carefully follow all the instructions included so that your trampoline will be put together correctly and safe to use.
