The High Jump Nose

There are two safety related reasons to add a nose to a high jump pit. Adding a nose on the front of a high jump pit makes it possible to bring the landing area up to the edge of the bar, minimizing the chance of an athlete falling off of the front of the pit after a jump. It also provides for keeping the base of the standard closer to the center of the landing area, minimizing the risk it poses to the athlete.

If a high jump pit with a nose is what you want for your facility, then adding it separately instead of building it into the pit will also add years to the life of your investment. By building the nose into the pit, the back sections become fixed in their position, and athletes will land in the same two spots over and over. But by adding the nose this way, and having reversible and interchangeable back sections, those back sections can be rotated and interchanged, spreading wear over the entire pit.
