Safety in the pit
As safety is one of PE-Redskaber's biggest focus points, we also go into great detail about the automatic closing of the floor and automatic shielding of the "A hole" for closed pits.
Furthermore, the edge pads provide extra safety that minimises the risk of the user or gymnast being injured on the edges of the pit in the case of an accident.
Safety is always a focus
Safety in open pit
- All our edge pads are firmly mounted onto the floor so they won't fall into the gaps
- The edge pads are made of solid foam, which ensures that the gymnast does not step through onto the floor
- All connections are made so that fingers and toes cannot get underneath and be caught
- The trampoline stop (front edge pad) is only 9.2 mm wide, which allows the trampoline, fast track etc. to be extremely close to the landing when jumping
Safety in closed pit
- The safety edge pad at the end of the landing foam prevents the gymnast from hitting the open floor when jumping too far
- Furthermore, the edge pad prevents a child from falling between the floorboard and the landing foam
- Large full-height plate in the A-hole to prevent a person from crawling or falling next to the open floor
Recommendation from the Danish Working Environment Authority
- Following a recommendation from Danish Working Environment Authority, PE-Redskaber has chosen, as standard, to install an additional safety system
- All height adjustment systems are equipped with an extra safety shield around the wire wheels to minimize the risk of injury if the pit is not used as directed by PE-Redskaber
- The power is automatically disconnected if a person steps under the trampoline and/or foam pad: the system must then be restarted by the caretaker, hall supervisor or other trained person
- During cleaning/service, the "installation key" is placed in the key box down in the hole - it prevents the restart function up in the gym, which means no operation can take place while people are in the hole!
- After cleaning/service the system is restarted in the gym and the control panels can be used again for the lift cushions, etc.
