Abstract:
Rate of deceleration is an important factor in determining the severity of injuries possibly sustained when participants collide with a wall assembly while playing, for example, ice hockey. Decreasing the rate of deceleration of the participant during such a collision with a wall assembly, by extending the distance over which a participant decelerates, is a key factor in reducing head and spinal injuries. The present disclosure provides apparatuses for decreasing the rate of deceleration by providing a wall assembly having a moveable piece that includes a first position and a plurality of second positions with a bias of the moveable piece to the first position. The movable wall assembly can move independently of a support frame, thereby further decreasing the rate of deceleration of a participant in a collision. The movable wall assembly can be supported on a base and slidable with respect to the base.

Claim (Index 18):
A wall assembly, comprising:\n a base; a friction modifying element positioned on the base; a movable wall assembly positioned on the friction modifying element and movable with respect to the base when a force is exerted upon the movable wall assembly by an object such that the movable wall assembly moves from a first position to one of a plurality of second positions to cause deceleration of the object over a distance, and the movable wall assembly is biased to move the movable wall assembly from the one of the plurality of second positions to the first position when the force is removed.
