A floor system with low resistance to impact has loosely connected separate light weight components forming a support frame upon which a plurality of floor panels is disposed. The support frame is comprised of a plurality of support elements which, in turn, are constructed of a plurality of support members each having a maximum dimension of at most a predetermined fixed size. The plurality of floor panels is disposed onto of and supported by the support elements. The floor panels preferably have mating beveled edges, which bevels facilitate the panels in kicking up and over each other upon substantially horizontal impact. The position of the floor panels is relative to the support elements is loosely maintained by cooperating short pins and holes. In one aspect of the invention, the support elements are spaced apart and are not connected to each other for support. In another aspect, the support elements are interconnected and supported by a supporting structure. Given this construction, a floor system can support substantially vertical loads of personnel and equipment but break apart into pieces having a maximum dimension of at most a predetermined, fixed size when subjected to substantially horizontal impact loads.
