ABSTRACT:
A sports arena-wall impact barrier for athletes comprising TEMPER-FOAM™ (T-foam) which has an impact absorbency factor greater than foam rubber and therefore will result in less injury to players. The players are absorbed into the pad, never contacting the solid wall eliminating injury to hand, wrist, arm shoulder, hip, knees etc. The impact barrier is comprised of overlapping panels of Temper-Foam™ (T-foam) to prevent seam separation under pressure. Preferably, Velcro® serves as the panel bonding element with the sides having a three surface contour comprising two offset substantially perpendicular surfaces with the third substantially parallel extending between the other surfaces interior ends forming a somewhat Z-shape in cross section. Since each perpendicular surface extends only partially between the front and back and that they are offset provides that an impact on the bound seam can not breech to the underlying structure.
