Fall Height Limits

Fall Height Limits is a safety metric in playground design that specifies the maximum vertical distance from which a child can fall onto a protective surface without sustaining a severe injury, distinguishing it from other hazard controls by quantifying impact risk based on biomechanical tolerance thresholds.
