It is recommended that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6’ in all directions from the perimeter of the stationary equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in front and rear of the swing a minimum distance of 2 times the height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.

The information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various material. No particular method is recommended over another. However, every material is only effective when properly maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of material in your area and its cost.
