landing pit

A landing pit is a specially designed area that safely absorbs the impact of an object or person arriving at high speed or height. It’s commonly used in sports like gymnastics or long jump, or in testing aircraft and vehicles. Made from soft, cushioning materials such as foam or sand, the landing pit reduces the risk of injury by providing a controlled, safe surface for landings. Its size and composition are tailored to the activity, ensuring safety and comfort during the landing process.
