Abstract

An aluminum frame carries a landing mat for the pole vault and is mounted on wheels so it can be rolled into position to cover the area adjacent and over the vaulting box after the vaulter has executed the takeoff to cushion the area around the vaulting box. The frame may be mounted on rails secured in place and moved away from the vaulting box against the resilience of a spring mechanism and then released to urge the frame and mat into its protective position over the vaulting box.
