Impact Attenuation Testing:
Ensuring Safer Playgrounds with K-Play






At K-Play, safety is our top priority. As a leading natural playground manufacturer and national supplier of playground fixtures, we understand the importance of meeting safety standards to protect children at play. That’s why we offer professional Impact Attenuation Testing—a crucial service that ensures playground surfaces meet ASTM F1292 standards for shock absorption and head injury prevention.

What is Impact Attenuation?
Impact attenuation refers to a playground surface’s ability to absorb shock and reduce the risk of serious injuries from falls. Playground surfaces must meet specific G-max (impact force) and HIC (Head Injury Criterion) thresholds to comply with safety regulations. These standards help determine whether a surface provides adequate protection against life-threatening head injuries.

Our Advantage: TRIAX 14 Testing
K-Play owns and operates the TRIAX 14, the industry’s leading testing device for measuring impact attenuation. Our trained specialists provide on-site testing for playgrounds of all sizes, ensuring your surfacing materials meet or exceed safety requirements. Whether you are installing new surfacing or maintaining an existing playground, our certified testing service offers peace of mind that your play area is safe for children.
