Minimum Overall Dimensions of Pole Vault Landing Systems4.1 The minimum pole vault landing system dimensions stated within this document are based upon t
19、he investigation ofcatastrophic pole vaulting accidents.4.2 The minimum overall dimensions for the primary landing system 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
20、the frontedge of the pole vault box cutout of the primary landing system is set 0.08 m 3 in. behind the reference point, 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
21、.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 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.
22、in front of the reference point. The minimum total length of the pole vault box cutout is thus 1.14 m45 in. The maximum width 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 shal
23、l 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 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
24、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.)FIG. 1 Pole Vault Landing System Minimum Dimensions and Preferred Landing ZoneF1162/F1162M 1824.6 Standard base pads shall be at least 0.38 m 15 in. high and should match but not exceed the heigh
25、t of the adjacent primarylanding system.4.7 Standard base pads shall minimally extend laterally from the outside edges of the front bun sections to a line 3.00 m 9 ft,10 in. from the reference point.4.8 Standard base pads shall extend rearward to the front edge of the lateral base unit sections.4.9
26、Standard base pads shall extend forward at least as far as the front most projection of the pole vault standard bases. If thepole vault landing system includes front buns whose most forward section includes parts that project laterally in front of the polevault standard bases, the standard base pads
27、 shall extend forward to the rear most edge of this lateral projection of the front buns.4.10 The openings in the standard base pads for the uprights shall not be more than 0.20 m 8 in. wide. Standard base padsshall cover the entire area of the standard bases with the exception of the opening for th
28、e uprights. The standard base pads mustallow for movement of the uprights as specified in the rules.4.11 The preferred landing zone should be identified on the top cover of the pole vault landing system by painting or sewinga contrasting rectangle on the common top cover, 2.44 m 8 ft deep and 3.05 m
29、 10 ft wide, beginning 1.07 m 42 in. behindthe reference point. This rectangle is intended as a reference for vaulters and coaches. (See Fig. 1.)5.
