CAN A JUMPER HIT THE GROUND EVEN THOUGH THERES A NET ?
Our enclosure is not designed to be a rigid resistant surface, rather a flexible cushion which catches wayward jumpers and guides them to safety – usually back to the centre of the mat. Rigid enclosures can cause injury upon impact, making the jumper absorb the impact. This is exactly what Springfree’s FlexiNet is designed to AVOID. The FlexiNet is purposefully flexible in order to absorb impacts on behalf of the jumper, ensuring the jumper’s safety even when they overbalance at the mat’s edge. Even if the surface is misused by intentionally jumping into the top of enclosure at high speed then its key design characteristics will maintain jumper safety. It is designed to be flexible, fully deforming and, in the case of severe misuse, still allow the jumpers body weight to be absorbed and lowered to the ground. Here’s an example: If a jumper is close to or in excess of 100kg, running at a speed of 25km per hour, and throws themselves directly into the FlexiNet at a height, there is a pot
