The trampoline is one of the world's oldest and most beloved outdoor activities. It is used in the training of the world's top divers and gymnasts. Many kids have enjoyed this toy while the parents were outside hosting a neighborhood barbeque. Unfortunately, traditional trampolines have been the cause of many injuries. Emergency rooms regularly see kids with broken wrists from flying off of the side of a trampoline. Kids will commonly get toes and fingers pinched in the springs under the frame. Furthermore, owning a trampoline can even drive up home insurance premiums. Fortunately, a new trampoline has recently hit the market. It is many times safer than the traditional trampolines.

The Tgoma Digital Gaming System recently came up Springfree. As the name suggests, this trampoline doesn't have any springs. Without those hazardous springs, children and adults alike will be free from any of the annoying pinch injuries that occur with traditional trampolines. In place of springs, the Springfree trampoline comes with fixed composite rods. These rods are buried underneath the main surface of the trampoline. It gives kids the same bounce as a traditional trampoline and the fixed composite rods ensure that users never come into contact with any dangerous parts.

On traditional trampolines, the frame is connected to springs. In between the frame and springs are gaps where people's limbs can get stuck or injured. The Tgoma Digital Gaming System has a buried frame that ensures nobody will ever get stuck or injured due to the frame. Furthermore, the body of the Springfree trampoline is attached to a net. The net ensures that nobody will ever jump off of the trampoline and get injured. In addition, the net will guide jumpers back to the safety of the trampoline
