Skydex Plant Box

Unread postby Nehoc » Thu Jun 02, 2005 1:15 pm

My school is planning a new track facility for next year and I am trying to find information on the Skydex soft plant box. Do you know of any independent evaluation of this box or do you have experience with it? Should I suggest to my Athletic Director the additional expense of $1000 per box?

I think the transfere of energry horizontally is not affected, but vertically it is (so if u fall it will give), so u woun't lose anything planting...but i have not seen one, nor have i jumped on one and im not even sure i should comment. I have also heard some schools, Penn State, wouldn't even let ppl jump on theirs...ironic huh
