APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE IMPACT ATTENUATION OF A SURFACE

摘要

The instant disclosure relates to an apparatus, system and methods for determining the impact attenuation or hardness of a surface for a playground or sports field in order to mitigate or reduce sports and playground related injuries. While not every injury can be prevented, playground and sports filed injuries can be greatly reduced if playground and sports field owners have immediate, easy to understand data about the impact protection their surface is providing. The present disclosure provides playground and sports filed owners a convenient and cost effective device to accurate and quickly obtain data pertaining to the impact attenuation of the surface in question.
