Gymnastics

Instead of feeling a rigid jolt as a one’s body comes into contact with a surface, i2k wants people to experience a totally shock-free landing experience. ZeroShock technology was carefully developed to allow jumpers and athletes to push their boundaries more safely and comfortably than ever before.

Unlike other airbags, our i2kAirPad’s ZeroShock technology releases air gently. Individual Crumple Tubes form around a person’s body to carefully cradle their impact. These Crumple Tubes are a series of cylindrical tubes that sit below the “floating” top surface sheet of the i2k AirPad. 

When a body hits and indents the top surface of the inflatable gymnastics mat, a small amount of air within the Crumple Tubes immediately expels into the base bag below, cushioning your gymnasts’ falls. Way safer and cleaner than a traditional inflatable gymnastics foam pits. 

The Dirty Truth About Gymnastics Foam Pits vs. Inflatable Mats

Traditional gymnastics foam pits filled with foam blocks collect bacteria and deteriorate over time. In our post-covid world constantly cleaning foam can cause it to break down faster, making foam blocks expensive to maintain and to replace.

With AirPads, you save money on maintenance costs, because i2k AirPads last for years even with repetitively heavy use. The top sheet is easy to clean and inexpensive to replace. Also, unlike foam pit landing systems, AirPads will not harbor smells, dust, and bacteria. They will not break down and spread hazardous foam pellets. 

Tumbling Mat vs AirPads: Why Choose AirPads Over Foam Mats?

Traditional gymnastics mats or foam blocks can dry out over time and deteriorate with use, making even a spongy foam block feel hard and brittle. Create softer, more secure landings by using AirPad technology at your gym.
