SAFETY FIRST! No one is allowed to do anything that will get themselves or anyone else hurt.
- Always land in the pit. If you miss the pit, it can’t keep you from getting injured.
- Do not dive headfirst into the pit.
- Avoid landing on your knees, head or in a front drop position, especially in an arched position. Safely land on your feet, seat or back.
- Follow proper skill progression. Do not attempt skills if you can not land safely.
- Always check the pit before entering. Do not enter pit if other people are in the way.
- Always climb out of the way immediately, when other people are ready to enter the pit.
- Do not bury yourself in the pit. Others may jump on you without knowing.
- Do not dig holes in the pit.
- Re-fluff the pit regularly and whenever holes occur or the foam is packed down.
- Make sure the pit is fluffed before attempting skills.
- The foam is to stay in the pit at all times.
- No throwing foam.
- Please replace any foam you see outside the pit.
- The foam is not to be torn into pieces. This causes dust in the pit.
