Suitable Sports and Activities

The crash mat should always be used for appropriate activities under suitable supervision. It is not a replacement for a complete facility safety assessment, professional coaching or equipment designed for high-height falls.

High-Density Cushioning Construction

The Respect Crash Mat combines HD-EPE, high-density flexible PU and ultra-soft foam to create a supportive cushioning structure. These materials are selected to provide a balance of firmness, comfort and impact absorption for suitable training applications.

The 30-centimetre thickness provides substantial cushioning for controlled, low-elevation movement and landing practice. The final level of support can depend on the athlete’s weight, the activity, the landing technique, the floor underneath and the surrounding training environment.

Place the mat on a clean, level and stable surface before use. Check that the mat is fully unfolded and that there are no gaps, folds or objects underneath that could affect stability.

Waterproof Removable Cover

The heavy-duty vinyl cover is designed for regular training environments and includes a resilient PVC outer covering. The waterproof exterior helps make routine cleaning easier and allows the mat to be maintained between sessions.

The removable cover features a heavy-duty zipper, allowing access for cleaning and maintenance when required. Always close the zipper securely before use and inspect the cover for signs of damage, loose stitching or exposed internal material.

How to Set Up and Use the Crash Mat

Clear the training area before setting up the mat. Unfold the Respect Crash Mat fully on a level floor and position it away from walls, sharp edges, equipment and other obstacles. Confirm that the mat lies flat and does not move excessively on the floor.

Use the mat only for suitable supervised activities. Athletes should follow the instructions of a qualified coach and use controlled techniques appropriate to their experience. Do not jump from excessive heights or use the mat for activities beyond its intended purpose.

Inspect the mat before every session. Do not use it if the cover is torn, the zipper is damaged, the foam has become uneven or the internal structure shows signs of deterioration.

Cleaning, Storage and Maintenance

Wipe the waterproof outer cover with a suitable damp cloth after use. Remove sweat, dust and visible dirt regularly. Use only cleaning products that are compatible with vinyl and PVC surfaces, and avoid chemicals that could weaken the cover or affect its grip.

Allow the surface to dry completely before folding and storing the mat. Store it in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, sharp objects and excessive heat. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the folded mat for long periods.
