Impact protection is designed to cushion falls and thus reduce the risk of injury. It is mandatory under playground equipment with a specific fall height.
Artificial Grass as Impact Protection
Artificial grass alone provides very little cushioning. In combination with an underlying impact protection mat (e.g., made of rubber or PE foam), a surface is created that is suitable for specific critical fall heights depending on the structure. This is measured according to DIN EN 1177.
