Gill Athletics is an innovator in track and field, and is committed to revising designs
and evaluating product performance to better serve the sport.   We strive to produce the safest 
possible equipment for your track.

Even with all the safety features we provide, there are still unavoidable risks associated with 
any athletic activity and when using athletic equipment.  

Risk of injury from falling or improper

landing, including serious injury, permanent paralysis, and even death is still possible with
proper use of the high jump landing system.  Misuse of the landing system and/or use of a 
damaged landing system increases these risks.

Each landing system has several printed warning labels.  Become familiar with all these 
warnings and instruct all jumpers using the landing system of the dangers of high jumping.
The landing system should be kept in a secure area to prevent unsupervised or unauthorized 
usage,  and/or vandalism.   It is the responsiblity of the purchaser to make sure the landing system
is protected against such usage.

The high jump landing systems are designed specifically for the high jump.  

The landing system

should be used for its intended purposes only!

  This system,  nor any of its components should ever

be used as supplementary landing surfaces for diving, gymnastics, base jumping, or any other type of
jumping activity.

Thank you for choosing a Gill Athletics high jump landing system for your track and field facility!
