Fall protection systems

Soft landing included

Fall protection coverings and fall protection systems are at least as important as the devices we fall from.

IN SCHOOL AND PLAYGROUND, BUT ALSO WHEN EATING OR SHOPPING, WE WANT HIGH-QUALITY EXERCISE OFFERS FOR OUR CHILDREN.

Fall protec­tion cove­rings and fall protec­tion systems are at least as important as the devices we fall from. In school and on the play­ground, but also when eating or shop­ping, we want high-quality exer­cise offers for our children. Of course, secu­rity plays a crucial role in this.

The chal­lenges are diverse, as are the solu­tions. The FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion system offers maximum safety. Here are three examples.

IN THE MALL OF SWITZERLAND, NOT ONLY QUESTIONS OF SAFETY, BUT ALSO THE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES WERE DECISIVE.

The Mall of Switz­er­land in Ebikon (Canton Lucerne) is the second largest shop­ping and leisure desti­na­tion in Switz­er­land with a total area of 65,000 m². The concept of the mall combines shops and restau­rants with leisure and sports faci­li­ties and more than 1,500 m² of play areas.

When it came to the indoor play world in Ebikon, it wasn’t just ques­tions of safety that were decisive, but also the wide range of design options with Flex­pe­ri­ence.

The use of a total of six diffe­rent colors resulted in a colorful and diverse world of games in the Mall of Switz­er­land that is unique in Switz­er­land. The instal­la­tion heights of the Flex­pe­ri­ence fall protec­tion floors of 40 to 90 mm guarantee safe play, fun and move­ment with a maximum required fall height of 2.60 m.

With a color mix of red and bright red, the first FLEXPERIENCE fall protection surface in Germany is rolling out the red carpet for its young guests in the restaurant.

The first FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion area in Germany was put into opera­tion in summer 2019 in a new branch of the system cate­ring provider “Koch­löffel” in Stein­furt.

With a color mix of red and bright red, the installed fall protec­tion system rolls out the red carpet for the young guests in the restau­rant. Toge­ther with the indi­vi­du­ally desi­gned play and slide tower, the children can play care­free and safely on the appro­xi­m­ately 25 m² fall protec­tion area every time they visit the restau­rant.

Thanks to the medium gray chosen for the top layer, the play area completely takes up the design of the surrounding buildings and the new building.

When the Weis­sen­stein school complex in Würen­lingen was expanded in May 2020, the outdoor faci­li­ties were also rede­si­gned. With the new cons­truc­tion of various school rooms, a kinder­garten, audi­to­rium and a double gymna­sium, the school buil­ding became a “school living space”.

The design of the play area and the fall protec­tion surface also take this idea into account. While other FLEXPERIENCE refe­rences score with their color design, the fall protec­tion floo­ring in Würen­lingen is not colorful, but shows itself in the urban design. Thanks to the medium gray chosen for the top layer, the play area comple­tely takes up the design of the surroun­ding buil­dings and the new buil­ding that has been created and fits perfectly into the overall ensemble of the newly desi­gned school grounds.

Various systems were installed on the 76 m² fall protec­tion area due to the diffe­rent fall heights. In addi­tion to the optical harmony, it guaran­tees care­free and safe play at a height of up to three meters.

Comple­mented by the unusual play equip­ment made of metal, an extra­or­di­na­rily futu­ristic play­ground was created that under­lines the crea­tive poten­tial and versa­ti­lity of the fall protec­tion cove­rings used.

FLEXPERIENCE offers some special features that distinguish this innovation from conventional fall protection floor coverings.

The novelty of this system is the special base layer granule deve­loped and manu­fac­tured only for this purpose. For the base layer of a FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion system, only EPDM rubber granules are used, which are 100% virgin mate­rial.

The granule is foamed using the exclu­sive “Swiss Cheese Prin­ciple”. This unique tech­no­logy creates small air pockets, which lead to parti­cu­larly soft and cushio­ning surfaces.

Thanks to the mate­rials used, the system is abso­lutely harm­less in terms of toxi­co­logy, envi­ron­mental and human compa­ti­bi­lity. This is another major diffe­rence to some systems that use recy­cled granules from used tires.

With FLEXPERIENCE, the customer not only receives indi­vi­dual compon­ents, but also all the mate­rials required to build a fall protec­tion surface: base layer granule, colored EPDM granule for the top layer and the binding agent that holds ever­y­thing toge­ther. He also receives instal­la­tion instruc­tions.

This has the advan­tage that all the neces­sary tests and certi­fi­ca­tions have already been carried out. This saves effort and costs and gives the client the certainty of instal­ling a fully tested, coor­di­nated and safe fall protec­tion system.

FLEXPERIENCE is a globally available and licensed system that is sold and profes­sio­nally installed by speci­ally quali­fied regional license part­ners. That means compe­tence from produc­tion to handover.

FLEXPERIENCE fall protection floor coverings meet the highest requirements in terms of fall protection and environmental compatibility.

FLEXPERIENCE was deve­loped to ensure maximum safety in children’s play­grounds. The two-layer fall protec­tion system is the result of more than 50 years of expe­ri­ence in the manu­fac­ture and rese­arch of rubber granules. The fall protec­tion floor cove­rings meet the highest requi­re­ments for fall protec­tion and envi­ron­mental compa­ti­bi­lity.

Thanks to the envi­ron­men­tally friendly compon­ents made from 100% virgin mate­rial and the inno­va­tive SCP tech­no­logy with which the base layer granule is foamed, the FLEXPERIENCE fall protec­tion floo­ring corre­sponds to the spirit of the times.

And in addi­tion to sustaina­bi­lity, this expects a soft and safe landing — and not just “they always come down.

We did this.
