This video unintentionally have similar topic with accident on TwitchCon. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of what happened on TwitchCon With Adriana Chechik. Wish her well recovery and stay strong going through hard times. 🙏
The glue will DURASTICALLY increase stiffness, as the panels can't individually move and bounce to distribute energy. Seeming safe here might not be safe anymore once it's glued together and becomes less able to move and redirect energy as the pads bounce and momentarily separate. To anyone who needs help to understand this, look at 5:27 and note how the pads move; a glued together system loses most of that movement and thus ability to dissipate energy. The cells are smaller, and thus less flex and stretch can occur once adhesive is introduced. It's something to keep in mind. It would be better to keep them detached for single use high impact environments, and glued only for repeat use without the need or ability to setup between uses like for commercial applications in a gym vs film or extreme professional applications
Yeah I was trying to think about anything that could help as well. Like maybe if the cover is too thick you wouldn't displace the air fast enough and you might just compress it stopping you sooner then you'd want. Small things but add up, gotta max this baby out so we can jump from the top of buildings lol
@@Cheese-ht9ed They should cut say 6 inch holes in them, then use foam cylinders as pins to hold the system together... When they inevitably do this, think of me =D
also, Anton is the type of person who isn't toxic positive, he is inspiringly positive. some people can be too positive and cannot "read the room". he gets on their level easily and assuring them that it is okay to fail or not succeed the way they wanna succeed
I was gonna comment : "please Anton don't do over dangerous stunts only for RU-vid", then you throw the gopro on the mat without you... Smart as always ! Thx for the video, I appreciate it !
I'm thinking the rib design allows the air withing the stack to escape, this allows more rapid compression. If you estimate total height and dynamic compression, you should be able to optimize for nearly any height.
@@AntonFomenko Twitch Con had a foam pit that was about 2 ft / 1 layer of foam cubes deep, a streamer sadly broke their back doing a gymnastic move when they landed on their butt/tailbone on concrete I think. BTW where did you get that hoodie, the design and colors are sick!
I'm just wondering, is there any rule for gyms and such on how long you can keep using the same pad? Surely there are regulations or something that changes, or they get old and stop working as well?
This video ist too much for my brain. Sean speaking double time, i was always thinking Paddington, when hearing padding, thinking glutes, when hearing glued, Anton doing half striptease, Anton falling and telling its making ouhhh, and pleaase use verbs, it took me some time to understand, that it s not the cable, cutting something, but the cable being cut. :D will have to watch again tomorrow, to understand everything thats going on. I fear I`m gonna dream of traverse fitness center and it s crash test dummies. And what did you say about talent? Wasn`t it you, with one or the other injurie? ...
I've landed on very thick mats before, and I can say they do not bounce me upward. If the mat is bouncing you up, it means it's not absorbing all your energy, but instead putting some of that energy back into you. I would prefer a mat that doesn't make me bounce.
I'd prefer a non-bouncing mat too, but a mat that consistently catches you without bounce from varying heights would need more varying foam types within it, which would be more pricey. Maybe these mats are intended to be in a more affordable range, and bounce is fine overall as long as it's within healthy parameters.
Cardboard boxes are still cheaper and easier for most single use stunt applications. I doubt many production companies are switching to pads over boxes for big jumps. Think about the cost of these pads and the big truck needed to the transport a bunch of them to set for a big building jump. Now for smaller more frequent stunts or in a training environment when you do things again and again, pads might make financial sense.
@@monkeydo147 These pads, as you can see in the video, are constructible. They can be in sections and pieces, like when companies send tables and cabinets, in a small box, and you assemble them in house. For many street/alleyway stunt falls or fall protection. It can take dozens to hundreds of boxes, as they put them in layers of at least 3 to 4 layers, as cardboard boxes collapse and don't spring back like pads. Just for a section of area that could be 50 to a 100 feet. That will take a lot of boxes and either several hours or a lot of people to tape them together and place them. The boxes might be cheaper, but they still pay in assembly or hours. Compared to using pads that you would need less, and they can be placed much quicker. For like the ten meter fall. No way would I do it with boxes, because they may be enough, or I might crash through them. It isn't sure.
It looks so fun.... Until I remember I'd probably break every bone in my body even from a low height. Like you said "things that *shouldn't* happen"... But happens anyway to "talented" people.
If you keep landing on your feet, it defeats the purpose of the pad. You're supposed to land on your back, so that you spread the energy around the pad. By landing on your feet, you're just setting yourself up to injure your legs.
This is crazy. Bouldering pads are 4 inches thick and can catch a fall from 2.5 meters without any issue, realistically even more - these look like 20 bouldering mats stacked on each other.
The height of a fall is from the lowest part of your body, not the highest. If you're going to claim 10m, you should start by standing 10m above the mat, not hanging from a bar that is 10m above thew mat.
