Stunt Mats and Stunt Crash Pads

UCS designs and manufactures premium stunt crash pads engineered to exceed the rigorous demands of professional athletics. Our American-made equipment provides the foundational landing safety required for elite tumbling and skill development across schools, clubs, and professional training centers. Combining specialized impact absorption with long-lasting durability allows every athlete to train with the confidence to master high-velocity maneuvers.

Impact-Rated Stunt Crash Pads for Skill Progression

UCS stunt & skill mats are for the high-impact realities of modern acrobatics and cheerleading. These landing mats feature multi-layer foam cores to provide a controlled deceleration of force, making them ideal and necessary for high-repetition stunt training.

• Advanced Impact Control: Multi-layer foam cores provide a soft initial catch followed by deep support.

• Industrial Strength: Built with  21 oz.reinforced vinyl for superior tear resistance and longevity.

• Versatile Application: Engineered for high-impact tumbling, dismounts, and landing practice.

Multi-Layer Foam Construction & Safety Engineering

The core of our gymnastics safety equipment is in the high-performance padding materials. We use high-density polyurethane foam to create a landing surface that absorbs energy effectively without "bottoming out" against the subfloor. Every pad is encased in heavy-duty vinyl-coated covers that feature mesh side panels, allowing air to escape instantly upon impact.

• Foam Technology: A blend of high-density polyurethane and crosslink foam provides the ideal balance of softness and stability.

• Breather Mesh Sides: Integrated mesh allows for rapid air exchange, reducing internal pressure and prolonging the life of the mat.

• Functional Hardware: Heavy-duty nylon handles and reinforced stitching make transport and setup simple for coaches and staff.

• Stable Foundation: Non-slip bottoms prevent the mats from shifting on spring floors or hardwood, a critical factor for landing safety.

Stunt Mat and Crash PadOptions for Athletes at Every Level

UCS offers versatile product solutions for every environment , from modular soft play environments for toddlers to high-level gym mats for elite competitors.

• Beginner Pads: Softer density foam and extra thickness to protect young athletes during initial skill development .

• Advanced Training: Firmer competition-level mats to provide  extra depth for safety.

• Modular Stacking: Velcro attachment systems allow modular stacking and versatile options, so instructors can increase landing height as skills progress.

• Total Support across multiple environments: UCS provides everything from barrel play equipment for early development to adaptive equipment and therapy mats for specialized needs.

Selecting the Right Crash Pad for Height, Impact, and Skill

Facilities must match their equipment to the specific landing heights and impact velocities of their athletes. A 4-inch mat may be okay for floor-level work, but higher stunts and dismounts require 8-inch or 12-inch thicknesses to effectively manage gravitational force and keep athletes safe.

• Assess Fall Height: Select thickness based on the maximum potential height of the athlete during a stunt.

• Verify Surface Quality: Insist on  21 oz. Knife-coated vinylcovers to ensure the pad can withstand daily, high-intensity use.

• Ensure Stability: Only use pads with non-slip bases to prevent hazardous sliding during landings.

• Complete the Zone: Pair crash pads with protective padding on nearby walls or equipment.
