crash mats
Gymnast's safety foam
Crash mats are thick, cushioned pads placed on floors to absorb impact from falls.
They're used in gymnastics, climbing gyms, martial arts, and pole vaulting—anywhere people might land hard from height.
The padding reduces injury risk during training or competition: The gymnast dismounted onto the crash mats.
Also called landing mats.
