A '''trampoline''' is a device consisting of a piece of taut, strong [[fabric]] stretched between a [[steel]] frame often using many coiled [[spring (device)|springs]]. 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]].
