CRASH PAD LINE

Beal's crash pad line is constructed to maximise the reduction in the impact force at the moment of landing from a fall or a jump. Consisting of 2 densities of foam with very high absorption and recovery capacities, guaranteeing excellent dynamic properties for the whole life of the pad. The outside envelope is made of two materials. The underside and sides are of water resistant, non-skid material to give real stability to the pad. The top side is in highly abrasion resistant textured polyester.

The UIAA have developed a complementary test to the normal one for testing the strength of a rope over a metal edge. The standard UIAA test involves a mass of 80kg, with a fall of factor 1.77, held over a metal edge of 5mm radius to simulate a karabiner. The new test uses the same weight of 80kg (55kg for one strand of double rope), and the same fall factor, but this time over a sharp edge of just 0.75mm radius.

Attention! This test is no guarantee whatsoever that the rope will resist any specific fall over sharp or abrasive rock.
