ABSTRACT:
Novel baffles are provided for safeguarding divers from severe head, neck or back injuries due to unexpected collisions with bottom walls of pools, and operate on the principle of "rolling with the punches" rather than taking them head-on, with the buoyant force of the layer of pool water immediately underlying the frontward platform-like impact-receiving portion of the baffle serving to cushion the downward or downward-frontward tipping movement which results from collision therewith of the body of a descending diver and aid in returning said platform-like portion to its initial position; whereby difficulties with excessive rebound or whiplash action of the baffle are obviated.
In step-wise series or cascades, two or more may act sequentially and independently, so that rebound force generated by one comes too late to affect the diver, his body meanwhile having passed out of range of such rebound force and into cushioned contact with the next.
Special further arrangements of the new baffles are also disclosed for protecting the heads of slide-divers doing unexpected somersaults, as well as for permitting divers to intentionally convert their divers into partial or full dive rolls to be terminable on cushioned slideways sloping from the water level immediately in front of the slide and in a downwardly-forwardly manner, without incurring risk of paraplegic injury in the process.
