Minimum
26、Overall Dimensions of Pole Vault Landing Systems3.1Overall dimensions must be based on the kinematics of the human body and the shock-absorbing quality of the material. Theymust also be based on the comfort and safety of the user.3.2If the human body impacts with a 100% vertical force, the dimension
27、 must exceed the length and width of the body.3.3If the human body impacts with the horizontal component, the length and width of the landing surface must be derivedmathematically based upon the kinematic variables involved in the performance.FIG. 1 Pole Vault Landing System Minimum Dimensions and P
28、referred Landing ZoneF1162/F1162M 122NOTE1Several studies of pole vaulters indicate the following assumptions that were used to determine the pit dimensions. A vaulter reaching 19 ft(5.80 m) would have a push off horizontal velocity of 4 ft/s (1.2 m/s). This velocity plus the length of the body woul
29、d not exceed the 16 ft 5 in. (5.0-m)pit length. Less skilled vaulters reaching 10 ft (3 m) may have a push off horizontal velocity of 8 ft/s (2.4 m/s). This velocity plus the length of the bodywould not exceed the 16 ft 5 in. (5.0-m) pit length.3.4The minimum pole vault landing system dimensions sta
30、ted within this document are based upon the investigation of thereported catastrophic pole vaulting accidents over the past 20 years.3.5The minimum size and design specifications for pole vault landing pads are as follows: 19 ft 8 in. (6.00 m) wide across thebase unit sections by 16 ft 5 in. (5.00 m
31、) deep, when set in the most preferred position 3 in. (0.076 m) behind the vertical planeof the stop board with a uniformly high landing surface with a minimum height of 26 in. (0.66 m). The front portions of the pitthat surrounds the planting box (the front buns) shall be 16 ft 5 in. (5.00 m) wide
32、and extend at least 45 in. (1.14 m) from thatportion of the front buns where the padding begins behind the back of the planting box. Thus the front of the front bun sectionscover the entire area between the planting box and the inside edge of the base of the standard base rails to the front edge of
33、theplanting box when the pads are placed 3 in. (0.76 m) behind the back of the planting box. The minimum overall pit size is 19 ft8 in. (6.00 m) wide by 20 ft 2 in. (6.14 m) long from the from the front of the front buns to the rear-most portion of the landingarea. (See Fig. 2.) The height of the fr
34、ont units may taper down in 15 in. (0.381 m) at the front in order to give the vaulter a clearerapproach to the vaulting box. In addition, the front buns should taper into the planting box area so that they provide protectionyet allow the vaulting pole to bend and rotate undisturbed with the primary
35、 landing system a minimal distance behind the backof the planting box. (See Fig. 24.1 The minimum pole vault landing system dimensions stated within this document are based upon the investigation ofcatastrophic pole vaulting accidents.4.2 The minimum overall dimensions for the primary landing system
36、 are 6.00 m 19 ft, 8 in. wide by 6.15 m 20 ft, 2 in. longfrom the front edge of the front buns to the rear-most edge of the landing system by 0.66 m 26 in. high. (See Fig. 1.) If the frontedge of the pole vault box cutout of the primary landing system is set 0.08 m 3 in. behind the reference point,
37、the minimum lengthof the landing system is 5.00 m 16 ft, 5 in. from the front edge of the cutout of the landing system.4.3 The minimum width across all the base unit sections is 6.00 m 19 ft, 8 in. This minimum width extends from the rearmostedge of the landing system to a maximum of 1.73 m 5 ft, 8
38、in. behind the reference point.4.4 The minimum width across all of the front bun sections is 5.00 m 16 ft, 5 in. The front edge of the front bun sectionsis at least 1.07 m 42 in. in front of the reference point. The minimum total length of the pole vault box cutout is thus 1.14 m45 in. The maximum w
39、idth of the pole vault box cutout (the maximum distance between the bases of the front buns borderingeither side of the pole vault box) measured at the base of the front buns shall be 0.91 m 36 in.4.5 The height of the front buns should taper downward towards the pole vault box so that the vaulting
40、pole is allowed to bendand rotate undisturbed by contact with the front buns. Excluding this tapered portion of the front buns adjacent to the pole vaultbox cutout, the height of the front buns may taper from 0.66 m 26 in. at the rear to a minimum height of 0.38 m 15 in. (SeeFig. 1.)3.6In those spec
41、ial cases where a rectangular minimum size landing system will not fit into a facility, the rear half of the baseunit sections may be rounded slightly along the outside edges to accommodate the shape of the running track or other obstructionalongside or behind it. In these special cases, the side an
42、d rear padding may be curved based upon a radius the length of the widthof the base unit area of the system, from a point of origin halfway back on the side of the landing system (See Fig. 2 and Fig. 4).3.7Upgrades and additional supplementary padding may be used to increase the size of existing lan
43、ding systems that no longermeet the new minimum specifications of this specification. Supplementary sections of padding should be attached in some wayto the existing (primary) landing system to keep them from separating away from the primary landing system or each other.However, a common top cover n
44、eed only cover the primary portion of the pit and not the secondary (supplementary) paddingbeyond the primary landing system. Secondary (supplementary) padding may also take the form of protection on the standard basesand around the planting box. (See Fig. 4.)3.8Standard base padding is considered s
45、upplementary (secondary) padding. Standard base pads should be designed so that theuprights move freely both forward and back for efficient, accurate standard adjustments. Standard base padding systems should beapproximately the same height as the front of the front buns for which they are built. Ho
46、wever, standard base padding should notexceed the height of the front bun sections that they sit next to. Standard base padding should be a minimum of 20 in. (0.51 m)wide so that they minimally extend from the sides of the front bun sections to the outside edges of the base unit sections. Theopening
47、s for the uprights should not be more than 8 in. (0.20 m) wide. For solid foam systems, a minimum of 14 in. of paddingshould cover all hard standard base and underlayment hard surfaces. For plywood standard base type systems, a minimum of 8in. of padding should be present. In both systems the paddin
48、g should cover the entire area of the standard bases and all hardsurfaces on which they rest. They should also minimally pad the entire area between the front buns and the adjacent base unitsections. Standard base protectors do not need to be covered with the common top pad or attached to the rest o
49、f the landing system.(See Figs. 5-7.)3.9Box collars are considered secondary (supplementary) padding. They are designed to pad the area between the outside edgesof the vaulting box and the inside edges of the front buns. Box collars do not need to be covered with a common top cover.However, they should form fit exactly to the top of the outside edges of the planting box and extend beneath the landing pad frontbun sections so that they are held in place by the weight of the front buns and yet remain adjustable.
