ABSTRACT:
The invention provides novel safety baffling or baffles for placement in swimming pools at loci underlying the forwardly protruding fronts of poolside slides, diving boards, and diving platforms, and extending any desired distance rearwardly of said fronts as well as forwardly thereof at least a typical diver-body length of 3 to 5 feet but advantageously more. Advantageously each baffle comprises a relatively dense and slippery skid-surfaced lamina carrying "streamlined" slippery-surfaced, cushioning "shingles" plus a less dense subjacent cushioning medium or lamina, e.g., of polyurethane foam or the equivalent, so placed as to obliquely, i.e. glancingly, intercept the trajectory of a headfirst slider or diver sufficiently to at once control or change its direction and reduce his momentum -- this process being successively repeated via new such interceptions engendered by change in angularity of said skid surface or of obliquity of downwardly dangling arms of a slide diver along it when it is comprised in a buoyantly floating said baffle; in which latter case characteristic danger of a neck-breaking somersault will be precluded.
