ABOUT BAG JUMP
Bagjump started in the winter of 2006, when professional skiers and snowboarders, Hollywood stuntmen and engineers got together and recognized the need for true free-style training safety. They came up with a revolutionary idea, looking for a solution to landing softly and safely while practicing big technical jumps. The Bagjump was the answer.
The Bagjump is a 15m x 15m x 3.5m airbag split into 2 zones.
The Catching Zone has the most “give” and catches the jumper. Due to it’s great “sink-in-depth” the softest landing possible is provided. The Safety Zone is a protective zone, which avoids jumpers from impacting with the ground, and is operated under a higher air pressure than the Catching Zone to ensure maximum safety.
Athletes gain confidence while training with Bagjump due to it’s engineered impact absorbing ability, Bagjump is a very versatile product and can be used all year round by anyone, from beginners to professionals, for Olympic level training or just for recreation. It is suitable for most free-fall aerial training requirements and can be used in conjunction with dry-slopes, ramps and platform entries.
The Bagjump products have rapidly gained popularity amongst advertisers and promoters, acting as giant billboards visible from a great distance, serving as a high profile medium to deliver a premium brand message.
