Our products are designed to meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards.

  • Page 3 Protective Surfacing - Reducing Risk of Serious Head Injury From Falls One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292.
