See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 for
17、usageexamples.5.9 Anchors, hardware, and installation instruction shall beincluded with goal and shall be sufficient to enable the goal topass all testing required within this specification in anyforeseeable soil conditions and recommended installations.6. Head and Neck Entrapment6.1 Goals shall be
18、designed so that any accessible openingmeets the following requirements.6.2 If the field surface (ground) is the lower boundary of theopening then the opening is exempt from these requirements.6.3 Completely bounded rigid openings.6.3.1 A completely bounded rigid opening is consideredaccessible if a
19、 torso probe (Fig. 5) can be inserted into theopening to a depth of 4.0 in. or more.6.3.2 Place the torso probe (Fig. 5) in the opening with theplane of the base of the probe parallel to the plane of theopening; rotate the probe to its most adverse orientation (thatis, major axis of the base of the

If the torso probe can be inserted into the openingto a depth of 4.0 in. or more, place the head probe (Fi

An opening passes this test if (1) theopening does not admit the torso probe when it is rotated to anyorientation about its own axis, or (2) the opening admits thetorso probe and also admits the head prob
