Regulatory
Compliance:
All
our landing systems now provide a soft sweet-spot landing that is compliant with
the American Society of Safety Engineers ANSIZ359.1-1992 (R1999) American
National Standard fall arrest force requirements as well as the OSHA Regulation
29 CFR Section 1, 1910.66AppC, Personal Fall Arrest system force requirements.

is committed to your Track & Field programs, now, and ten years from now.
That’s why all our landing systems come with a full 10 year warranty.
If any failure occurs in the first 10 years, under normal use and care,
we will repair or replace the damaged part.

a l u e After
considering the characteristics of design, appearance, functionality, warranty
and price, the value of our landing systems becomes obvious.
No other company can compare to our price-per-feature value.

Foam:
All
of our pits now include a denser, higher strength foam.
This foam has been tested to still provide a soft landing, but to keep
its shape for longer period of time. It
helps prevent “sagging” and “bottoming out” for a jumper.
Fabric:
18
oz vinyl coated woven polyester for maximum durability and a puncture
resistance of 390 psi. Unlike
vinyl coated nylon, which can expand and contract, this fabric holds its shape
under the worst conditions. The
polyester is coated on the inside and the outside of the fabric, giving it a
softness to the touch but the strength and durability to last. All section
seams are heat sealed for water resistance.
Velcro:
Avionic
grade hook and loop material exceeds grip requirements even after 5000
assembly cycles
Covers:
The
weather and ground covers use the same super strong vinyl coated woven
polyester as used in our pit casings with top and bottom heat sealed seams to
keep moisture out.
Mesh:
Top
of base units are made of vinyl coated woven polyester mesh for superior
strength. The mesh top allows for
the desired escape of air which provides optimal landing compression.
Seams:
Extra
heavy #138 nylon thread is used throughout.
Seams are folded and triple stitched then welded together using a high
frequency heat sealer to increase strength and provide water resistance.
D-ring straps are back stitched for added holding power.
Hardware:
We
have replaced our nickel plated snap hooks with a durable aluminum carabineer.
The aluminum carabineers have several great qualities:

· They
are replacable. If one breaks
they are simple to remove and interchange.
· Allow
quick and easy removal of the top pad.
· These
clips have been tested for a breakaway point, so less damage may occur to the
landing pit during a wind storm or during other mobilization.
· Inexpensive.
They save you money not only on their cost, but will also help give your
landing pit a longer lasting life.
Heavy
duty plastic zippers are corrosion resistant for smooth operation in all
conditions. Our zippers are also
sewn into folded over vinyl and are double stitched.
Top
Pad: 2”
foam encased in vinyl coated woven polyester mesh fabric covers the entire
surface. Features 8’ x 10’
preferred landing zone in white mesh fabric.

Handles:
· Are
made from strong 2” webbing
· Have
more reinforced stitching along with the “X” stitching.
· Provide
a wider area that is sown with a rugged backing.
· Are
spaced for easier access and grip.
All
these factors create a longer lasting handle that is even
tougher to rip out or destroy.

Bases
are interchangeable for even wear and longer life.
Foam:
Cross
tunnel construction facilitates a smoother landing.
Angled
Box Cutout: Specially
designed 45°
cutout
around the box allows pole to rotate freely eliminating any contact with the
pad.
Color
Options: The
standard blue/gray color combination provides superior resistance to Ultra
Violet radiation damage. Our
standard gray mesh stays cooler to the touch on hot/sunny days compared to other
colored mesh.
