Why test play surfaces for impact?
Your playground surface is the ''Catchers Mit'' of the playground, especially as statistics show that falls to playground surfaces are around 70% of all serious accidents in playgrounds, therefore it is imperative that your surface will perform properly in the event of a serious fall. Ensure your play surface meets the requirements of head, neck and back injury!
All surfaces suffer degradation over time, causing potential non-compliance of impact attenuation. Playsafe's Certified Surface Impact Test provides assurance that your playground surface meets the Head Impact Criterion performance requirements of the NZS5828+ EN1177 safety standards well before failure and injury. A surface impact test will highlight any of these issues.
