Absorbent Mattresses - Flame Retardant Range

British Gymnastics recently carried out a risk assessment of falls from trampolines (in response to new FIG matting guidelines) to assist their decision in relation to its implementation of this requirement at competitions and to a wider application within the sport. 

Their findings show that for international competitions in Great Britain protection as mandated by FIG must be followed at all times, however for national competitions the 2m zone of protection along the sides must be provided by the use of 20-25mm x 2m matting at the ends of the trampoline, in addition to safety decks, a 200mm (deep) 3m x 2m safety mat should be placed on the floor immediately beyond the end decks with a further 1m of 20-25mm matting beyond the safety mat. This same arrangement should be adopted for regional and club competitions. For club training involving 360 degrees rotation or more all trampolines should have end decks and be matted both sides with a minimum of 20-25mm x 1m mats. Ideally wherever possible the side matting should be 20-25mm x 2m. For high bouncers these mats should also be provided around and behind the end decks. Ideally a 3m x 2m x 20cm mat should be positioned directly behind each end exposed decks

If you would like to follow these guidelines two of these mats are required
