SmartCells fall protection flooring is stable and firm under normal activity, but under impact have the capacity to absorb impact shock and reduce the risk of serious injury

The Critical Fall height for a carpet covered 1” thick SmartCells surface is 3.7 ft, according to ASTM F-1292. In other words, there is a very good chance that a person who falls out of a bed onto a SmartCells Fall Protection Mat will not be injured.

Advantages
  • Absorbs impact energy, protects from serious injury
  • Becomes softer as compressed, resists bottoming out
  • Low-profile surface allows resident to stand, walk or wheel over the mat without difficulty
  • Reduces musculoskeletal stress and injury for staff who stand on the surface
Graph 1
  • Research indicates that SmartCells may reduce peak
    impact pressure on the hip by as much as 83% compared
    to a fall onto a concrete surface.*

    •
  • From a 2’ high fall height, SmartCells reduce the probability
    of even a mild head injury by a factor of 10.**
Disadvantages

  • Provide limited protection from fall injuries
  • Becomes harder with impact, increasing risk of injury
  • Need to be removed to access resident, exposing staff to musculoskeletal stress and possible injury
  • Create trip hazards, obstacles for evacuation
