Bouncy panels that are simultaneously hard and soft

Break-Pads are inflatable flat panels with a special internal
textile lattice that prevents the walls from moving when another
part of the wall is compressed.

They work like a 'hard' panel, but are 'soft' at the point of
compression.

We are adapting this military technology for

Sports court flooring
allows rapid deployment of temporary safe flooring for
floor-impact sports, on concrete or dirt

Veterinary comfort floors for large farm and zoo animals
allows mobile, washable, insulating, comfort flooring that can
stand heavy localized weight-loads

Flooring for urban break-dance and acrobatic rock practice
provides a floor-like safer surface for when dangerous new
dance choreographies are being developed, lowers
dance-schools insurance premiums

Casual improvised furniture
From sofa parts to trestle-tops to veranda play-floors, furniture
may be a potential application, depending on individual creativity
