Things girls might want to avoid include:

- Loose fitting clothes.

Is It Ok To Wear Shoes on a Trampoline?
Well, the short answer is depend. Shoes with leather soles can make it harder to bounce and to do tricks. They could also put more wear in the trampoline mat. Shoes with flexible rubber soles are comfortable to bounce with. The type of shoes we recommend is gymnastics slippers. They are very light, flexible, and give you more control. We also recommend using trampoline socks. If you are jumping with shoes, always remember to check the soles for small stones that could damage the mat.
