This invention is a contoured landing surface system. The system matches landing surfaces or pit density to the force generated by an athlete's descending body to cushion the athlete's fall based on air displacement rather than foam characteristics. The system is designed to compensate for variables such as velocity, mass, and surface area at the point of impact by utilizing a multilayered structure (10) each layer (12)(14)(16) having a plurality of patterned ridges thereon and a network of air channels therebetween. The ridges (16) and air channels (20) of adjacent layers extend perpendicular to the ridges (16) and air channels (20) of each other. Preferably, the landing surface is constructed using layers of foam having the same density.

L'invention concerne un système de surfaces profilées de réception au sol et leur procédé de fabrication. Le système agit de manière que la surface de réception au sol ou la densité du fond corresponde à la force générée par le corps tombant d'un athlète afin d'amortir la chute de l'athlète sur la base d'un déplacement d'air plutôt que des caractéristiques de la mousse. Le système compense des variables telles que la vélocité, la masse et la superficie au point d'impact au moyen d'une structure à couches multiples. Chaque couche porte une pluralité d'arêtes profilées et un réseau de conduits d'air intermédiaires. Les arêtes et les conduits d'air de couches adjacentes sont mutuellement perpendiculaires. De préférence, on construit la surface de réception au sol avec des couches de mousse ayant la même densité.
