Dr Keith Alexander

New Zealand Engineering Innovator of the Year 2011, Associate Professor Dr Keith Alexander worked on the Gibbs Aquada and Hamilton Jet but it's his revolutionary spring-free trampoline - the world's safest trampoline - that's found in backyards all over New Zealand and around the world. His trampoline replaces the traditional steel coil rings with glass-reinforced rods.
The Canterbury University-designed Springfree Trampoline is said to reduce injury incidents on trampolines by up to 80%. It was voted consumer product of the year in the USA and Canada, and has also won an Australian design award.
