The Essential Considerations to take into account when choosing a PLAYGROUND SAFETY SURFACING SOLUTION!

1. Safety. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), over 200,000 children receive emergency room care for playground equipment-related injuries each year. The majority of these injuries result from falls to the ground surface below the equipment rather than falls from one part of the equipment to another. While surfacing options are endless, rubber mulch has superior shock absorbing properties according to the CPSC (Handbook for Public Playground Safety). Without doubt, rubber is the safest choice! Ground Cush'n is made from 100% rubber inner tubes, and is the safest choice in the market !

2. Law Suits due to wire content from recycled tires. Not all rubber mulch is the same. Most rubber playground surfacing comes from recycled tires. As we all know tires have huge wire content and removing all the wire has proven to be almost impossible. There are several outstanding law suites that result from injury due to the wire content in the play ground surfacing. The best choice is to use recycled inner tubes as they have zero wire content. US Rubber’s - GROUND CUSH'n™ - is ABSOLUTELY 100% metal free, because it is made from nothing but recycled INNER TUBES!

3. Cost Surprising even though Ground Cush'n is 100% wire free there, it is at least competitively priced with its tire based competitors and more often than not it wins in any price comparison.

4. "GREEN" - Environmentally Friendly. “If we didn’t recycle inner tubes, they would all just go into a land fill. We do not just pay lip service to the environmental movement. We live it and are doing all we can to ensure that we keep the world a clean, safer and healthier place for future generations” – Don LaGrone
