Sky Zone
Sky Zone is a Los Angeles-based company that operates indoor trampoline parks. The company is often erroneously credited with opening the first indoor trampoline park in 2004 (although it was not the first), and is controversial for the amount of injuries that have occurred in its parks. History Sky Zone was founded in 2004 by entrepreneur Rick Platt in the Las Vegas Valley. Platt originally intended for the trampoline courts to be used as part of a new sport with professional athletes. Platt spent US$2 million to build a trampoline arena in Las Vegas and to hire athletes for the sport, which would have included rotating hoops and mid-air acrobatics. The sport failed to generate interest, but local skateboarders learned of the facility and wanted to bounce on the court, which prompted Platt to begin charging admission. Within six months, the facility had hosted 10,000 visitors. In 2006, Platt's son Jeff, who was a student at Washington University in St. Louis, opened a similar ...

Trampolines
A trampoline is a device consisting of a piece of taut, strong fabric stretched between a steel frame using many coiled springs. Not all trampolines have springs, as the Springfree Trampoline uses glass-reinforced plastic rods. People bounce on trampolines for recreational and competitive purposes. The fabric that users bounce on (commonly known as the "bounce mat" or "trampoline bed") is not elastic itself; the elasticity is provided by the springs that connect it to the frame, which store potential energy. History Early trampoline-like devices A game similar to trampolining was developed by the Inuit, who would toss blanket dancers into the air on a walrus skin one at a time (see Nalukataq) during a spring celebration of whale harvest. There is also some evidence of people in Europe having been tossed into the air by a number of people holding a blanket. Mak in the Wakefield Mystery Play ''The Second Shepherds' Play'', and Sancho Panza in ''Don Quixote'', are both sub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
