Abstract

This invention is a contoured landing surface system. The system matches landing surfaces or pit density to the force generated by an athlete's descending body to cushion the athlete's fall based on air displacement rather than foam characteristics. The system is designed to compensate for variables such as velocity, mass, and surface area at the point of impact by utilizing a multilayered structure (10) each layer (12)(14)(16) having a plurality of patterned ridges thereon and a network of air channels therebetween. The ridges (16) and air channels (20) of adjacent layers extend perpendicular to the ridges (16) and air channels (20) of each other. Preferably, the landing surface is constructed using layers of foam having the same density.
