Health and Safety

 

As you already probably no pole vault is a dangerous sport anyway, so it is very important to keep to rules and regulations.

 

A quick guide on what to do

The vaulter must have a lot of momentum, obtained by running. Next, the vaulter places one end of the pole in a hole, called "the box." Bending the pole, the vaulter swings upside down so when the pole unbends, it will throw him/her up in the air. At this point, the vaulter clears the bar, or misses, and then falls to a large foam cushioning called the bed . This is the basic part of pole vault.
