A shock mitigation floor comprising a layer of flexible resilient tubes 10 and a flexible integument 13 attached to the layer of tubes on one side thereof. Preferably the tubes have a circular cross section, they are made of silicone rubber and they are attached using a silicone adhesive. Preferably, the other side of the tubes comprises a layer of a flexible integument 12 (i.e. a sheet of silicone rubber), a stiff layer (i.e. marine plywood) or a sponge. Preferably the flexible tubes are arranged in an array of parallel tubes and these blocks of tubes are arranged within a plane such that the axes of the tubes in one block are orthogonal to the axes of tubes of the adjacent block. The preferred uses are as seat cushioning, gym or recreation mat, or as shock absorbing floor in rigid inflatable boat (RIB). Preferably the tubes are spaced apart, and the layer on top of the marine plywood 14 comprises a gel coat with glass fibres 15. |
