help Trampoline Triple Back FAQ
What exactly happens during a trampoline triple back?
The athlete completes three backward somersaults during a single flight before landing on the trampoline bed. It requires enough height to rotate three times while still opening early enough for a controlled feet-first landing.
Is a triple back allowed in competitive trampoline routines?
Triple somersaults can appear in elite routines when they comply with the International Gymnastics Federation's skill and landing rules. Athletes use tucked, piked or twisting variations to increase difficulty.
Why is learning a triple back so dangerous?
A small error in takeoff or rotation can produce a head, neck or back landing because all three rotations occur in one bounce. Training normally progresses through qualified coaching, overhead spotting rigs and foam or padded landing systems.
How is a triple back different from a Miller on trampoline?
A basic triple back has three backward somersaults without the three full twists associated with a Miller. The Miller is named after American trampolinist Wayne Miller and is one of the signature high-difficulty skills in elite trampoline.
