We Tested Our New Safety Pads With Real Falls!

[@AntonFomenko]

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. 🙏

[@Allgore]

They should have commissioned you for the foam pit

[@lanceausnz5997]

Number 1 rule of testing, don't worry about the camera .... I would have thought that making sure you land on the mat was a little more important 😆

[@AntonFomenko]

😂😂😂

[@targeted1948]

The 1st rule in testing is to have the other guy do the testing. ;)

[@lanceausnz5997]

@@targeted1948 I stand corrected 😄

[@TrueHelpTV]

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

[@Cheese-ht9ed]

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

[@TrueHelpTV]

@@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

[@emfrymcfly]

Always love you commitment to everything you do. I love your videos love from Australia

[@16m49x3]

This put the "foam" "pit" at twitch con that broke someone's back from jumping 3 feet in perspective

[@kavali6320]

Epic moments of this video: 'Put some sexy music' while taking hoodie off and commenting 'huiiii' on every fall ;) Pads looked so cosy.

[@AllSC2Replays]

seeing this "oh no.." 1:25 after "my boss hates overtime" is pretty funny

[@acadia5898]

we need longer videos. i'm addicted to your videos, but no pressure, do whatever you want

[@acadia5898]

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

[@NinjaGodfather]

This is one of my favorite of your videos, I didn't know Traverse was doing this! Cool!

[@AntonFomenko]

Thank you!)

[@DougPowell01]

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.

[@chroma_aus]

Great video Anton. Love the thumbnail 😂

[@Bomb6A9Head]

brooo this looks like so much fun

[@CoachAlexK]

Hahaha really glad I wasn't around to see the super salmon ladder attempts

[@An-xx5xh]

Thanks for not jumping from 10m 😅 I already pictured you missing the mat

[@rusasod]

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?

[@AntonFomenko]

There are rules.

[@Wannabearborist]

3:11 never trust a costumer to do anything, they will find a way to €&@“ up

[@bgotty2684]

I was gonna comment : "please Anton don't do over dangerous stunts only for KZbin", then you throw the gopro on the mat without you... Smart as always ! Thx for the video, I appreciate it !

[@IKolpikov]

back falls are always preferable, but its really scary to miss the pad. Usually done with half or 1.5 of a flip in any diraction.

[@JanKrupicka-i5b]

Nice to see how it's being made 👌

[@discontinuity7526]

At 33 ft I was like f that 😂 I'm more glad you didn't jump from there lol

[@MiloFisher-Golton]

Epic🔥🔥

[@IvaN_WW]

That safety pad looks so nice, i could sleep there hahaha

[@Sarah-fy3qf]

They really are the nicest place to sleep my son is a gymnastics coach and often has his lunch break sleeping on the foam mat

[@Flopsaurus]

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.

[@thuns6824]

You also don’t bounce on concrete ;)

[@Goldap1000]

So where is energy that mat is putting in you coming from?

[@DDracee]

@@thuns6824 assuming you dont splat, you actually do with enough impact

[@liamb9606]

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.

[@wayne8797]

These look like they will make for some comfy beds. Albeit very expensive.

[@neaituppi7306]

I wonder if they use those more now, than boxes. But I know some movies, even big ones still use cardboard boaxes.

[@monkeydo147]

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.

[@neaituppi7306]

@@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.

[@catastropheli]

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? ...

[@J_House]

I stopped at :13 just to wish out loud that you used LARGER pads!!!!

[@HunterOgden]

YESSSIRRRRR

[@IhminenOfficial]

Bet if you land semi flat on your back you can go higher cause more surface area so less pressure on the mat

[@edmundy3952]

Yay!

[@that44rdv4rk]

the POV from the top is scary.

Hm… what’s that mean? Some people commented about twitch! Am I missing something?🤔😅

[@qwikk]

@@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!

[@VarnaSaga]

@@qwikk I wanna know where he got that hoodie too! Looks pretty dope!

On the video it looks like the falls are harder once the padding is inside the cover, is it really the case?

[@AntonFomenko]

Yes. But with new ventilation it feels nice.

[@julinkajj]

Wow! the 10m looks scary 😰 Do you not have a fear of heights?😅

[@FannysLoA]

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.

[@AntonFomenko]

It happens with everyone at some point.

[@Phi1618033]

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.

[@neaituppi7306]

I would have jumped from 10 meters/ 32 feet.

I emailed the email

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

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.

[@baldieman64]

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.
