Climbing Equipment Fall-Zone & Fall-Height for FallZone Playground Safety Surfacing 

Climbing equipment is generally designed to present a greater degree of physical challenge than other equipment on playgrounds. This type of equipment requires the use of the hands to navigate up or across the equipment and is imperative that the fall-zone use area has the proper FallZone Safety Surfacing to meet the critical fall heights of this type of climbing equipment. 

The critical fall height for climbers is the distance between the highest part of the climbing component and the protective FallZone Safety Surfacing beneath it. If the climber is part of a composite structure, the fall height is the distance between the highest part of the climber intended for foot support and the protective FallZone Safety Surfacing beneath it. For-toddlers the maximum fall height for free standing and composite climbing structures should be 32 inches for upper Body Equipment: The fall height of upper body equipment is the distance between the highest part of the equipment and the shock absorbing FallZone Safety Surfacing below.

The fall-zone should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions from the perimeter of the stand alone climber.
The fall-zone of a climber may overlap with neighboring equipment if the other piece of equipment allows
overlapping fall-zones and there is at least 6 feet between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are no more than 30 inches high or there is at least 9 feet between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are more than 30 inches high.
