ABSTRACT:
A gymnastic spotting belt apparatus for being buckled about the waist of a gymnast and for being clipped to a pair of spotting ropes. The belt apparatus includes at least four D-rings such that the belt apparatus may be used by either children or adults. Each of the D-rings includes a slot compartment having a height generally the same as the width of the belt to prevent the belt and D-rings from axially twisting relative to each other. The belt apparatus still further includes an elongate pad between the belt and the gymnast and running to each of the sides of the gymnast from the back of the gymnast for cushioning the belt relative to the gymnast and for supporting the back of the gymnast. The belt apparatus further includes a buckle which may be quickly tightened but which is resistant to unintended loosening or release.
