Re: Safety Net for Vaulting (R. Tuff)

I'd hate pole vaulting with a net, it would make the landing much more difficult. The last time I did it the mat felt like concrete, but the first thing I was taught was how to land.
Most of the injuries, as I understand it, come from not making it over the bar, or smacking into it.
I'd wager we'd have a few more if people were tumbling down a net afterward as well.

All that needs to be done is the pad should be softened a bit and the participants should be trained well.
