System for physical mobility activity of a person, comprising at least one fixed support member and at least one contact member to be worn by the person In motion, wherein the support member and the contact member comprise at least one support surface and at least one contact surface, respectively, wherein the support surface and the contact surface constitute the respective components of a hook-and-loop fastening connection consisting of hooks and loops, wherein the hooks have hook stems and hook openings, wherein the hook openings on the support surface or contact surface in question are at least substantially all situated at the same side of the hook stems in question, when considered in a first direction parallel to the support surface or contact surface in question.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to playground climbing structures that provide a pathway defined by a lower surface and bound on each side by a sidewall. The structures may comprise sensory play activities on the interior of the sidewalls as well as on the exterior of the sidewalls. The climbing structure is also adapted so as to be accessible to children of varying physical abilities, including for instance children with disabilities, such as by having at least one platform configured for access from a wheelchair or other mobility device and incremental adjustments in elevation that may be navigated by a child with limited mobility. Embodiments of the climbing structures are assembled from a plurality of components, which can be connected together in a variety of configurations to provide custom modular structures.

An amusement attraction features a wall structure, a respective set of illuminable handholds distributed over a wall surface of at least one upright wall of the structure, a floor surface residing adjacent to the upright wall on a side thereof faced by the wall surface, and one or more detection devices operable to detect landing of a participant on the floor surface during attempted traversal of the wall surface. A controller is operable to illuminate the handholds in different colour-coded patterns. Each pattern includes illumination of “authorized” handholds in a first colour, illumination of “prohibited” handholds in a second colour, and illumination of “targeted” handholds in a third colour. In a game-play session, participants are tasked with grasping of the targeted handholds while traversing the wall structure, with penalties applied for detected landing of participants on the floor surface and gripping of prohibited handholds.

A climbing structure is provided. The climbing structure comprises a first support post and a second support post. The climbing structure also comprises a panel with a first and second connection point. The climbing structure also has a first clamp, configured to couple the panel to the first support post at the first connection point. The climbing structure also has a second clamp, configured to couple the panel to the second support post at the first connection point. The first connection point is on a first connection plane. The second connection point is on a second connection plane. The first and second connection planes are offset from each other.

The present invention is directed to a climbing structure. The climbing structure is configured to be portable, adjustable, modular, safe to use, and assembled without the use of tools. The portable climbing structure is comprised of at least two panels which are adjoined together to form the climbing surface of a frame. The climbing structure is further comprised of a padded layer covering the panels, a pair of side rails configured on a left and right vertical side of each panel, and a pair of adjustable bars connected to the adjoined panels at the side rails to adjust an incline angle. The frame and the padded layer are provided with a plurality of openings which receive detachable grips.

A vertically supported swinging and climbing apparatus has two parallel sections of elongated webbing is a structure. The apparatus comprises pads secured around vertical supports. An elongated webbing wrapped around the pads on the vertical supports. The elongated webbing is configured with two parallel straight portion. Webbing couplings are attached to the straight portions of the elongated webbing to support swinging and climbing attachments.

A climbing wall defines vertical, transverse (horizontally in-and-out, toward-and-away-from wall) and lateral (horizontally sideways) directions, mutually orthogonal. A surface treatment simulates rock by texture, holds, or both. A line (rope, cable) extends from a belay anchor, spaced away from the wall, to a climber at the wall. Line distance is controlled to eliminate slack to start, and continuously if the wall is increasingly steep and possibly curving sideways (laterally). When climbing ends, the climber swings transversely (and, optionally, laterally sideways) away from the wall in a pendulum fall, swinging (oscillating) about the belay anchor for multiple cycles and clear of contact with the wall. The fall may be intentional (the climber releasing a grip on the wall), accidental (falling from own weight), or due to line tension initiated by an automated timer or operator intervention.

A suspension training based functional fitness element (11, 31) comprising: an essentially planar element (22) having an upper edge, a lower edge and two side edges, said planar element (22) being designed to form a pivotable connection to a support element (32) along said upper edge of the planar element (22), a first elongated element (23, 32, 52) connected to said planar element (22) at a first connection point at said lower edge of the planar element (22), a second elongated element (23, 32, 52) connected to said planar element (22) at a second connection point at said lower edge of the planar element (22), and a first and second handle (24), said first and second handle (24) being connected to said first and second elongated elements (23) respectively, whereby that said first and second connection points are arranged such that there is a horizontal offset between the first and second connection points and such that there is a vertical offset between the first connection point and the pivotable connection and a vertical offset between the second connection point and the pivotable connection.

A safety check apparatus and method for testing a lanyard system prior to entering a challenge course. The apparatus comprises a track arranged at an entrance of the challenge course. The track includes a first position and a second position above a supporting surface. A moveable member is supported by and displaceable relative to the track. The track is connected to a course track that traverses the challenge course such that the moveable member is displaceable therebetween. A lanyard is attached to the moveable member and extends a length from the moveable member. A user harness is coupled to the lanyard. When at least a portion of a user's weight is supported by the harness, the connection point between the harness and the lanyard is positioned higher above the supporting surface at the second position of the track than at the first position of the track.
