Rubber tiles for Schoolgy..By Seeerdar for Rubet B.V. - Securiton

My redesign is about placing these Rubber tiles in school gyms.

Gym classes is a important activity at school in the Netherlands.
But children can get easily hurt if the teacher or teachers aren't paying attention. And keeping sight on all children is already hard by itself.

The gym floor are rockhard it hurts when u fall onto it, a nasty fall from climbing ropes, climbing a rack or even jumping from a trampoline can easily strain muscles, break bones or even in a cevere cases cause brain concussion.

Imagine your son or daughter injured trough one or two hours of gym excercise, You'd never feel safe again about letting her or him go to gymclass.

These are some older news posts, but it'll give you an idea how many children can get hurt, and that children actually get hurt!

"Zes van de tien slachtoffers lopen letsel op door een val, uit de ringen of uit een wandrek. Een klein percentage van de slachtoffers moet na de eerste hulp voor verdere behandeling in het ziekenhuis worden opgenomen."

A lot of these links can be find trough a search engine.  

The downside would be that some investment would needed to be made. Since schoolgyms all vary in size, scaling from a size of 21m in length and 12m wide
.
You'd need bigger rubber blocks and divide the blocks over the gym.
For example dividing the gym in 6 or 8 smaller rubber blocks, and cover the whole surface.

Also for warmup, the children or students need to run along the wall of the gym. You easily slip, since the current gym floor is smooth. So if u add a rubber near the wall with bumps. It'll reduce the slippyness and chance you can fall. (See reference picture -->)

And if even possible, there is already a concrete floor so you would only need to put the rubber on the floor.

I hope this redesign would reduce the unnecesary injuries during gymclass. Atleast i would have hoped this already existed when I was still running around in the gym.Gymclass could have been more exciting knowing i'd fall on a softer floor.
